【題目】閱讀理解
Most maps of the world show lines that are not on the Earth's surface.One line is the equator(赤道).It is an imaginary line around the widest part of the Earth.There are similar lines both north and south of the equator.These circles become smaller and smaller toward the north pole and the south pole.These lines, or circles, are parallel(平行的)—meaning that they are equally distant from each other at any point around the world.These lines show what is called latitude(緯度).
A navigator can know the latitude of his ship by observing the location of stars, where the sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening, and what time of year it is.With this information he knows where his ship is in relation to the north or south pole and the equator.
Still, there is one more important piece of information necessary for safely sailing the oceans.For many centuries, scientists, astronomers and inventors searched for a way to tell longitude(經(jīng)度).The lines of longitude go the other way from latitude lines.They stretch from the north pole to the south pole, and back again in great circles of the same size.All of the lines of longitude meet at the top and bottom of the world.
To learn longitude at any place requires knowledge about time.A navigator needs to know what time it is on his ship and also the time at another place of known longitude—at the very same moment.
The Earth takes twentyfour hours to complete one full turn or revolution of 360 degrees.One hour marks one twentyfourth of a turn, or fifteen degrees.So each hour's time difference between the ship and the starting point marks a ship's progress of fifteen degrees of longitude to the east or west.Those fifteen degrees of longitude mark a distance traveled.
At the equator, where the Earth is widest, fifteen degrees stretch about one thousand six hundred kilometers.North or south of that line, however, the distance value of each degree decreases.One degree of longitude equals four minutes of time all around the world.But in measuring distance, one degree shrinks from about one hundred and nine kilometers at the equator to nothing at the north and south poles.
Notes
①navigator n . 領(lǐng)航員 ②stretch v . 伸展
(1)What's the main purpose of drawing lines on the map that are NOT on the Earth's surface?
A.To explore the ocean.
B.To observe the stars.
C.To sail safely.
D.To tell the time.
(2)If a ship travels along the equator about eight thousand kilometers, it may pass________.
A.about eighty degrees of latitude
B.about seventyfive degrees of latitude
C.about fifty degrees of longitude
D.about seventyfive degrees of longitude
(3)The underlined word “shrinks” in the last paragraph probably means________.
A.decreases
B.increases
C.enlarges
D.ranges
(4)What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?
A.How to read the map.
B.The equator and the latitude.
C.The Earth's surface.
D.The imaginary lines or circles.

【題目】閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 There are over one million superstitions(迷信),and most people believe at least one or two of them. Many people are superstitious about numbers. They think that there are lucky numbers and unlucky numbers. The number 13 is often considered unlucky.
In some parts of the world, buildings have no 13th floor and streets have no houses with the number 13. In Japan,“4”is considered unlucky because in Japanese the word“four”is pronounced the same as the word“death”. The Japanese never give gifts of four knives, four napkins, or four of anything.
What are the lucky numbers? Seven is a lucky number in many places, and“8”is considered a lucky number in Japan and China. In China, businesses often open on August 8,and many couples register to get married at eight past eight on August 8. Superstitions about numbers are so widespread that some people—called numerologists—make a living giving advice about numbers. In 1937,when the Toyoda family of Japan wanted to form a car company, they asked a numerologist if“Toyoda”would be a good name for the company. The numerologist said it would not be. He explained that“Toyota”would be a better name for the company. The family took his advice. As a result, millions of people drive“Toyotas”and not“Toyodas. ”
There are many other kinds of superstitions. There are superstitions about eating, sleeping, sneezing and itching. There are superstitions about animals and holidays and horseshoes.
There are even superstitions about superstitions. Those superstitions tell people how toreverse bad luck. When the Japanese bump heads, they immediately bump heads again. According to a Japanese superstition, the first bump means their parents will die, but the second bump“erases”the first bump. To reverse bad luck in general, people turn around three times, turn their pockets inside out, or put their hats on backwards.
(1)It can be inferred that superstitions about numbers are.
A.popular all over the world
B.accepted by many people in the world
C.valuable to businessmen
D.dangerous to common people
(2)From this passage we can find that.
A.a numerologist is an expert in maths
B.Japan's development depends on numerologists

C.a numerologist is a superman
D.the Japanese have a strong belief in numerologists
(3)The word“reverse”in this passage means.
A.cause to go in the opposite direction
B.read carefully
C.turn over in the mind
D.make…worse
(4)If we see a Japanese bumps his head once again, we can know that he is.
A.mad
B.angry
C.superstitious
D.foolish
