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(经度)．The lines of longitude go the other way from latitude lines.They stretch from the north pole to the south pole, 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 twenty璮our hours to complete one full turn or revolution of 360 degrees.One hour marks one twenty璮ourth of a turn, or fifteen degrees.So each houorr'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.

six hundred kilometers.”可知如果一只船沿赤道航行了8 000千米的话应该是1 600千米的五倍也就是15°×5＝75°。] [词义猜测题。由画线词所在句“...one degree shrinks from about one hundred and nine kilometers at the equator to nothing at the north and south poles.”一度由赤道的109千米到南北极的0千米这应该是在缩小故选A项。] [主旨大意题。由第一段的内容可知这段主要介绍了赤道和纬线。]维B2 阅读理解选材网站：http：//www.chickensoup.com/stories高考曾用材料：2010重庆卷A篇选材相似度：★★★★设题相似度：★A Manhattan Crossing
New Yorkers like to say they can walk faster than the crosstown bus.On 34th Street, buses average about four miles an hour.For those in a hurry, pretty much everyone here, it's an icy pace for a crosstown trip.Janette SadikKhan, the city's transportation commissioner, is proposing an interesting fix for 34th Street.

Urban planners have been studying the city's crosstown problems since the first traffic jam.Robert Moses at one point proposed a major highway just south of 34th Street, part of which would go through an office building.The question is still whether it will really make it easier to operate in Manhattan.
