If not, please take with you a compass. But if you forget to take a compass, you can still find your way.Its never a wise idea to believe that the family member who was good at the job of map-reading knows where the family is. You can tell by the troubled look on their faces that nothing on the ground seems to match the map. Never mind. The sun is shining and its still morning. If you dont know the exact time, you can still find out where south is, but youll need to be patient.Find a straight stick and put it in the ground in a place where you can mark its shadow(a dark shape on a surface that is made when something stands between a light and the surface).Try to position the stick as vertically(垂直)as you can. You can check this by making a simple plumb line(铅锤线). You havent got one? OK, use a thread(线) from your clothes with a button(纽扣) tied at the end to act as a weight.Mark the end of the shadow cast(投射) by the stick.Wait about half an hour and mark the end of the shadow again.Keep doing this until you have made several marks.The mark nearest the stick will represent the shortest shadow, which is cast at midday, when the sun is highest in the sky and pointing to the exact south.Pick a point in the distance along the line between the shortest shadow and the stick.That point is south of where you are.Now you can turn the map, like you did before, and find which way you should be travelling.（1）To find the direction, we have to be patient probably because _.A . it is not easy to find a proper stickB . it is not easy to position the stickC . it takes hours to make the marksD . it takes hours to mark the map（2）The passage would probably be most helpful to _.A . those who draw mapsB . those who get lostC . those who make compassesD . those who do experiments（3）Which of the following pictures best shows the way of finding the direction of south?A . B . C . D . （4）The writer presents this passage by _.A . telling an interesting storyB . describing an activity in a lively wayC . testing an idea by reasoningD . introducing a practical method15. （25分）请根据短文内容，回答下面问题，每题不超过5个词。Why are so many people so afraid to fail? Quite simply because no one tells us how to fail so that failure (失败) becomes an experience that means growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.Most parents work hard at preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. 60% of the parents choose this way. When a child finishes making a table, the mother describes it as “perfect” even though it doesnt stand still. Another way is to blame (责怪) others. If John fails in science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.Theres a problem with the two ways. It makes a child unprepared for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time, and that its possible to enjoy a game even when you dont win. A child whos not invited to a birthday party, who doesnt make the honour list on the baseball team, feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick consolations (安慰), prize or say, “It doesnt matter.” Because it does. The young should be allowed to experience failure and be helped to come out of it.Failure never gives people pleasure. It hurts both grown-ups and children. But it can be really good to your life when you learn to use it. You must learn to ask “Why did I fail?” Dont blame anyone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong and how you can improve. If someone else can help, dont be shy about asking them.（1）What can failure become in fact? （2）How many ways do most parents choose to prevent failure and protect their children?（3）How do 60% of the parents prevent failure or protect their children from the knowledge that they have failed? （4）What should young people be allowed to experience?（5）Who does failure hurt? 16. （25分）读下面的文章，然后回到文章后的问题。 Did you know that tea, the most popular drink in the world (after water), was invented by accident? Many people believe that tea was first drunk nearly 5,000 years ago. It is said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong first discovered tea as a drink. One day Shen Nong was boiling drinking water over an open fire. Some leaves from a tea plant fell into the water and remained there for some time. It produced a nice smell so he tasted the brown water anyway. It was quite delicious. In this way, one of the worlds favorite drinks was invented. More than 4,000 years later, Lu Yu, the saint of tea, mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea. It also discusses where the finest tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used. It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In England, tea didnt appear until around 1660, but less than 100 years later, it had become the national drink. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to spread the popularity of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world. Even though many people now know about tea culture, the Chinese are without doubt the ones who best understand the nature of tea. （1）When was tea first drunk? （2）How was tea invented? （3）Who is called the saint of tea? （4）What is Cha Jing about? （5）When was tea brought to other countries? 四、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共5分)17. （5分）任务型阅读Dear Wang Tao,Im so glad to read about the changes taking place in your city.
