2013高考英语二轮（阅读理解）金品训练（07）及答案Find Which Direction Is SouthDo you have a good sense of direction? 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 (铅锤线)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.语篇解读你有好的方向感吗？如果没有，那就要带上指南针。如果没带指南针呢？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解析推理判断题。依据文章中的可以看出，做阴影的标记最费时间，所以要耐心。答案C2The passage would

by scientists and philosophers who say our closest genetic relatives deserve rights limited to humans"This is a historic day in the struggle for animal rights and in defense of our evolutionary comrades, which will doubtless go down in the history of humanity," said Pedro Poza, Spanish director of the Great Ape ProjectThe new resolution has cross-party support and it is thought they will become law within a year, making Spain the first nation to extend legal rights to apesUnder the new law, potential experiments on apes in Spain will be forbidden"We have no knowledge of great apes being used in experiments in Spain, but there is currently no law preventing that from happening," Poza saidKeeping apes for circuses, television commercials or filming will also be forbiddenHousing

guest roomsOwners, Britta and Kent Lindvall, invited designers and architects to create a series of unique tree houses that reflect the growing popularity of ecologically-themedholidaysThere's the Mirrorcube, a 4x4x4 meter aluminum box in mirrored glassAccessed via a footbridge, the Cabin is suspended （悬吊） from the surrounding pines on a steep bank, affording views of the Lulea RiverBoth these rooms sleep two people while the Nest （covered in branches）, the Blue Cone （which is actually painted red） and the UFO （a spaceship skewered by pines） all have enough room to sleep a family of fourThe Treehotel was built after they saw a 2008 Swedish documentary （记录片） called "Tradalskaren" （The Tree Lover） that tells the story of three men who build a tree house near Harads in an attempt to rediscover their rural roots after years of living in a cityThe Lindvalls, who already owned and ran a nearby guesthouse, saw the chance to create a different kind of holiday experience"When the film was over, interest in the original tree house grew so we decided to build our own, closer to our place," Kent Lindvall said"The plan for next year is five new roomsWe also plan to build a chapel so people can get married up there"Open all year round, the Treehotel might attract only the hardest of souls during the winter as temperatures typically dip to around minus 15 degrees CelsiusBut brave

from Heaven and sadly shaking his headNo line of poetry has ever been more misused in history than that oneIt comes from Frost' s great poem Mending WallIn it he writes of him and his neighbor repairing the broken stone wall that divides their property （财产）Frost questions why they are doing so, because there are no animals that need fencing inHe sees as well that the wall is a symbol of the barriers （障碍） that people create to separate themselves from each otherHe wisely writes that, "Before I built a wall I'd ask to know what I was walling in or walling out, and to whom I was like to give offence （冒犯）'Something there is that doesn't love a wall, that wants it down'"His neighbor, however, who Frost describes as a "stone savage" who "moves in darkness" refuses to part from the ways of his forefathers and goes along foolishly with their belief that "Good fences make good neighbors"I wonder if MrFrost would have ever written his poem if he had known that the line he wrote in irony （讽刺） would be used again and again to encourage what he was so againstPerhaps he would have written a different one about tearing down the fences that separate us and breaking apart the walls that hide our hearts from each otherEither way, we should embrace the wisdom he shared with usFences and walls separate us from each otherWe need to take them down stone by stone, walk through them, and embrace each other in joyWe need to love our neighborsWe need to see that good fences DO NOT make good neighborsThey just make lonely hearts57What can we say about the author from the text?AHe thinks highly of Frost' s poemsBHe has a low opinion of Frost's neighborCHe looks down upon the TV commentatorDHe is anxious about the misunderstanding of Frost's idea58What does the wall in Frost's poem stand for according to the author?ABroken fences BQuarrels with neighborsCThe distance between neighbors DThe insisting on the forefathers' beli
