navigators (导航员) use lines of latitude and lines of longitude to locate places. lines of latitude run east and west around earth. on a map or globe, these lines appear as running sideways or horizontally. lines of longitude run north and south around earth. these lines go up and down or vertically on a map or globe. these lines create an imaginary graph paper on the earth. they make it possible to find an absolute, or exact, location on earth. they even allow us to give an absolute location to a place out in the middle of the ocean.lines of latitude tell us how far north or south of the equator we are. sailors have used primitive navigation tools, like astrolabes, since ancient times. the astrolabe uses the sun and stars to find an approximate location. using such tools, they have been able to approximate their distance from the equator. although their instruments may not have been the high quality we have now, they were incredibly accurate (精确) for their time.lines of longitude tell us how far east or west of the prime meridian (本初子午线) we are. sailors constantly looked for new ways to increase their navigation skills. still, it wasnt until the 18th century that they were able to measure degrees of longitude. they would have been very envious of the technology available to us today.when we use lines of latitude and longitude together, we can get a very precise location. if we want to identify the absolute location of a point, we look where the latitude and longitude lines cross nearest to that point. we use the coordinates (坐标) for that point as its address. many maps today include degrees of latitude and longitude.59. _ make it possible for people to find an exact place on earth.a. latitudes b. longitudes c. navigators d. sailors60. the second paragraph mainly talks about _.a. the function of latitude b. the use of the equatorc. the invention of astrolabe d. the high quality instruments61. why do maps include degrees of latitude and longitude?a. to help trade expeditions.b. to locate a precise place.c. to cross the lines of the nearest point.d. to identify how far a place is.62. the best title for this passage is _.a. the map and the globeb. latitude and longitudec. the equator and the prime meridian d. absolute coordinatescit is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.however little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighborhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families that he is considered the rightful property of someone or other of their daughters.“my dear mr. bennet,” said his lady to him one day. “have you heard that netherfield park is let at last?” mr. bennet replied that he had not.“but it is, ” returned she, “for mrs. long has just been here, and she told me all about it.”mr. bennet made no answer.“do you not want to know who has taken it?” cried his wife impatiently.“you want to tell me, and i have no objection to hearing it.”this was invitation enough.“why, my dear, you must know, mrs. long says that netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of england; that he came down on monday in a chaise to see the place, and was so much delighted with it, that he agreed with mr. morris immediately; that he is to take possession before michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week.”“what is his name?”“bingley.”“is he married or single?” “oh! single, my dear, to be sure! a single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. what a fine thing for our girls!”how so? how can it affect them?“my dear mr. bennet,” replied his wife, “how can you be so tiresome! you must know that i am thinking of his marrying one of them.”“is that his design in settling here?”“design! nonsense, how can you talk so! but it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes.”“i see no occasion for that. you and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you are as beautiful as any of them. mr. bingley may like you the best of the party. ”63. the sentence “ a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife” means that _.a. a single man without money neednt a wife b. women want to get married to financial stable menc. a single man who is financially stable needs a wifed. once man becomes rich, he must want to get a wife64. from the conversation between the bennets, we can conclude that mrs. bennet _.a. wanted to persuade her husband to visit the young manb. wanted to get an invitation from their new neighbor to a partyc. asked for her husbands permission to visit the new neighbord. wanted to tell her husband something about their new neighbor65. at the end of the passage, mr. bennet sounded _ toward his wifes proposal.a. grateful b. indifferent c. delighted d. interested第ii卷非选择题（共45分）五、任务型阅读 （共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下文并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每空只填一词。back to school: why grit(毅力) is more important than good grades?the back-to-school season is upon us, and once again, parents across the country have loaded their kids backpacks up with snack packs and school supplies. its a good moment to reflect on what else we should be giving our kids as they head off to school.american parents are feeling particularly anxious about that question this year. the educational process feels more than ever like a race, one that starts in pre-school and doesnt end until your child is admitted to the perfect college. most parents are more worried than they need to be about their childrens grades, test scores and iq. and what we dont think about enough is how to help our children build their characterhow to help them develop skills like perseverance, grit, optimism, conscientiousness, and self-control, which together do more to determine success than s.a.t. scores or i.q.there is growing evidence that our anxiety about our childrens school performance may actually be holding them back from learning some of these valuable skills. if youre concerned only with a childs g.p.a., then you will likely choose to minimize the challenges the child faces in school. with real challenge comes the risk of real failure. and in a competitive academic environment, the idea of failure can be very scary, to students and parents alike.but experiencing failure is a critical part of building character. a recent research by a team of psychologists found that adults who had experienced little or no failure growing up were actually less happy and confident than those who had experienced a few significant setbacks in childhood. “overcoming those obstacles,” the researchers assumed, “could teach effective coping skills, help engage social support networks, create a sense of mastery over past adversity, and foster beliefs in the ability to cope successfully in the future.”by contrast, when we protect our children from every possible failurewhen we call their teachers to get an extension on a paper; when we urge them to choose only those subjects theyre good atwe are denying them those same character-building experiences. as the p
