If not, please take with you a compass. But if you forget to take a compass, you can still find your way.It s never a good idea to imagine that the family member who was entrusted(委托) with the job of mapreading actually knows where the family is. You can tell by the slightly confused look on their faces that nothing on the ground seems to match the map. Never mind. The sun is shining and it s 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.Try to position the stick as vertically(垂直) as you can.You can check this by making a simple plumb line (鉛錘線)with a piece of string and weight. You haven t got any string？OK, use a thread from your clothes with a button tied at the end to act as a weight.Mark the end of the shadow cast by the stick.Wait approximately 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.語篇解讀你有好的方向感嗎？如果沒有，那就要帶上指南針。如果沒帶指南針呢？你仍然可以用其他方法找到方向，本文就是教你如何找到方向的。1To find the direction, we ought 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 about half an hour to make the marks解析推理判斷題。依據(jù)文章中的可以看出，做陰影的標記最費時間，所以要耐心。答案C2The passage would probably be most helpful to_.A. those who draw mapsB. those who get lostC. those who make compassesD. those who do experiments解析推理判斷題。依據(jù)文章第二段，“我們發(fā)現(xiàn)地圖上的標記跟身邊的不一致”，可以知道這是迷路時的現(xiàn)象，所以答案為B。答案B3Which of the following pictures best shows the way of finding the direction of south?解析依據(jù)文章中的敘述，可知：離樹棍最近的那條線代表的陰影最短，證明當(dāng)時太陽在天空最高，指向的就是最南方，對應(yīng)的正好是A。答案A4The author presents this passage by_.A. telling an interesting storyB. describing an activity in a lively wayC. testing an idea by reasoningD. introducing a practical method解析細節(jié)理解題。本文介紹的這種方法切實可行，所以作者是通過講述一個很實用的方法來闡述這篇文章的。答案DB(2009年浙江，C)Plants cant communicate by moving or making sounds, as most animals do. Instead, plants produce volatile compounds，chemicals that easily change from a liquid to a gas. A flower s sweet smell, for example, comes from volatile compounds that the plant produces to attract insects such as bugs and bees.Plants can also detect volatile compounds produced by other plants.A tree under attack by hungry insects, for instance, may give off volatile compounds that let other trees know about the attack. In response, the other trees may send off chemicals to keep the bugs away or even chemicals that attract the bugs natural enemies.Now scientists have created a quick way to understand what plants are saying: a chemical sensor(傳感器) called an electronic nose. The “enose” can tell compounds that crop plants make when theyre attacked.Scientists say the enose could help quickly detect whether plants are being eaten by insects. But today the only way to detect such insects is to visually inspect individual plants. This is a challenging task for managers of greenhouses ，enclosed gardens that can house thousands of plants.The research team worked with an enose that recognizes volatile compounds. Inside the device, 13 sensors chemically react with volatile compounds. Based on these interactions, the enose gives off electronic signals that the scientists analyze using computer software.To test the nose, the team presented it with healthy leaves from cucumber, pepper and tomato plants, all common greenhouse crops. Then the scientists collected samples of air around damaged leaves from each type of crop. These plants had been damaged by insects, or by scientists who made holes in the leaves with a hole punch (打孔器)The enose, it turns out, could identify healthy cucumber，pepper and tomato plants based on the volatile compounds they produce. It could also identify tomato leaves that had been damaged. But even more impressive, the device could tell which type of damage by insects or with a hole punch had been done to the tomato leaves.With some finetuning，a device like the enose could one day be used in greenhouses to quickly spot harmful bugs, the researchers say. A device like this could also be used to identify fruits that are perfectly ripe and ready to pick and eat, says Natalia Dudareva, a biochemist at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind. who studies smells of flowers and plants. Hopefully, scientists believe, the device could bring large benefits to greenhouse managers in the near future.語篇解讀植物會說話嗎？植物如何“交流”？本文中的科學(xué)家們正在嘗試用enose來測試植物受到傷害時的反應(yīng)。5We learn from the text that plants communicate with each other by_.A. making some soundsB. waving their leavesC. producing some chemicalsD. sending out electronic signals解析事實細節(jié)題。從文章第一段中的“Instead，plants produce volatile compounds，chemicals that.”可知，植物通過它本身所產(chǎn)生的一種化學(xué)物質(zhì)來進行交流，所以答案選C。答案C6What did the scientists do to find out if the enose worked?A. They presented it with all common crops.B. They fixed 13 sensors inside the device.C. They collected different damaged leaves.D. They made tests on damaged and healthy leaves.解析邏輯推理題。從文章第五段可知，為了證實enose的效果，科學(xué)家用受到傷害的葉子與健康的葉子來測試。所以選D。答案D7According to the writer, the most amazing thing about the enose is that it can_.A. pick out ripe fruitsB. spot the insects quicklyC. distinguish different damages to the leavesD. recognize unhealthy tomato leaves解析事實細節(jié)題。從倒數(shù)第二段中的“But even more impressive，the device could tell which type of damage.”可知，最令人驚奇的是enose能夠分辨葉子受到的不同的“傷害”。答案C8We can infer from the last paragraph that the enose_.A. is unable to tell the smell of flowersB. is not yet used in greenhousesC. is designed by scientists at PurdueD. is helpful in killing harmful insects解析邏輯推理題。從文章最后一段中的“could one day be used in greenhouses to.”推斷可知，enose還沒有運用到greenhouses中，由此推斷B是答案。答案B.話題寫作訓(xùn)練讀寫任務(wù)閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。No one can believe that the over 6,300kilometer long Great Wall might disappear some day. Believe it or not, the Great Wall is being destroyed by people. Less than 20 percent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty is still perfect, but about 80 percent is in danger. The Great Wall can be called “great” mostly because of its amazing length. But we should realize that the length was made up of one brick at a time. If we do nothing to save the Great Wall, it will become a series of separate wastelands rather than a historic site.The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2,000 years. It began in the rule of Chinas first emperor, Qin Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221 BC206 BC), and lasted into the Ming Dynasty. The parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared. The bricks on the Great Wall were carried off by countryside people to build their houses, sheep corrals and pigsties.Some were taken away to build roads. Bricks carved with peoples names were put away as remembrances.Rubbish was spread over the battlements.The bricks can be sold for 15 yuan per tractor load. Those who destroyed and are destroying the Wall know its name, but are not clear about its cultural meaning. It will take a long time to let them know this. The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Wall but also dug out the entire base.【寫作內(nèi)容】1以約30個詞概括短文的要點；2以約120個詞就“如何保護我國的文化遺產(chǎn)”的主題發(fā)表看法，并包括如下要點：(1)你是如何看待我國文化遺產(chǎn)遭到破壞的現(xiàn)象的；(2)保護文化遺產(chǎn)有何意義；(3)你對保護我國文化遺產(chǎn)的建議?！緦懽饕蟆?確定體裁：閱讀材料，可以了解到萬里長城目前因為種種原因遭到了破壞；以小見大，引發(fā)對我國其他歷史文化遺產(chǎn)保護的必要性的深思；寫一篇議論文。2擬定標題：How to protect the cultural heritages in our country3概括要點：(1)找出論點(Great Wall might disappear some day)和論據(jù)(the Great Wall is being destroyed by people: to build their houses, sheep corralsand pigsties; to build roads; sold for 15 yuan per tractor load)；(2)用自己的話將上述論點和論據(jù)表達出來。4發(fā)表看法：(1)提出問題并加以分析：如何看待我國文化遺產(chǎn)遭到破壞的現(xiàn)象，并分析其產(chǎn)生的根源；(2)深入挖掘問題：保護文化遺產(chǎn)有何意義；(3)解決問題：提出保護我國文化遺產(chǎn)的具體措施?！緟⒖挤段摹縃ow to protect the cultural heritages in our countryThe Great Wall is one of the Seven Wonders of the World and a symbol of the ancient Chinese civilization, but now it is in danger and some day it may disappear because of some local peoples destruction.What a pity ! As we can see, some other valuable and important relics in our country have been destroyed as well. Why are some people doing that so foolishly？Because the local people are not aware of their importance. Cultural heritages are left to us by our ancestors and are also a symbol of their wisdom, which played a very important role in history.How should we protect our cultural heritages? In my opinion, firstly, we should make people who lack of cultural knowledge know about the importance of the historic relics.Destroying them means destroying ourselves. Secondly, the government should take some measures to protect them, and if necessary, laws will be made to punish those who destroy them on purpose. Only in this way can we make our history richer and richer.
