　　II. 阅读理解

　　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(纬度)．

　　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(经度)．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．领航员　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.

　　【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了地图上的一些由人们想象的线，也就是对航海有用的赤道、经线及纬线。

　　1．C　[细节理解题。由第二段的内容及第三段“Still, there is one more important piece of information necessary for safely sailing the oceans.”可知这些线的主要目的是为了航海的安全。]

　　2．D　[推理判断题。由最后一段第一句“At the equator, where the Earth is widest, fifteen degrees stretch about one thousand 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°。]

　　3．A　[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。]

　　4．B　[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。]

　　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.

　　The city plan would close 34th Street to non­bus traffic in the block between the Empire State Building and Macy's.On the rest of the street, cars would move one way only.It would take getting used to, but for bus passengers, the city says there are more than 40，000 a day on public, tour or commuter(通勤者)buses along 34th Street.The plan should cut the commute by up to 35 percent.

　　People in other vehicles or about 10 percent of the human traffic would have to zig and zag(锯齿形)to get through this section of the city.It is probably fair to say that most are not particularly pleased about the whole concept.

　　So the city needs to answer important questions.Will this unrest mean more traffic on side streets that are already unbearably crowded？Will deliveries be limited to the daybreak hours？Will Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Ms.Sadik­Khan be willing to change or drop the plan if it simply won't work?

　　The Bloomberg administration has worked to improve bus traffic around the city.An experiment to speed up city buses along Fordham Road in the Bronx has already reduced travel time and increased passengers' number.

　　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.

　　Notes：

　　①unrest n．动乱，动荡　②concept n．概念

　　5．What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?

　　A．Traffic in Manhattan is much too bad.

　　B．New Yorkers enjoy playing jokes about their buses.

　　C．People are hard to cross 34th Street.

　　D．An interesting fix for crowded street is being made.

　　．How many measures would be taken in order to improve the traffic situation in Manhattan according to this plan?

　　A．2.

　　B．3.

　　C．4.

　　D．6.

　　．What's the purpose of the experiment by the Bloomberg administration?

　　A．To improve traffic jam.

　　B．To reduce travel time.

　　C．To increase ridership.

　　D．To relieve traffic pressure.

　　．According to this passage, whose proposal might be difficult to be carried out?

　　A．Janette Sadik­Khan.

　　B．Robert Moses.

　　C．Michael Bloomberg.

　　D．Ms.Sadik­Khan.

　　【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。随着社会发展，交通工具越来越方便。但是也带来了一系列的交通问题。本文讲述了城市交通管理委员会提出的对34号街维修的有趣方案。

　　．A　[主旨大意题。由文章第一段中的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.可知，曼哈顿的交通状况太糟糕了。特别是34号街，巴士的平均时速为4英里。]

　　．C　[细节理解题。根据文章第二、三段可知，改善该市交通的计划措施主要包括禁止公交车进入帝国大厦和梅西之间的路段，其余街道实行单行道，通勤车的数量减少到35%以及其他各类车辆绕道行驶等四项措施。故选C。]

　　．D　[推理判断题。根据文章第五段内容可知，实验的目的就是缓解交通压力。而改善交通堵塞、减少行车时间和增加载客量等都是具体的结果并非目的。故选D。]

　　．B　[细节理解题。由文章最后一段中的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.可知，Robert Moses让公路通过办公大楼的创造性的建议能否执行仍然是曼哈顿人民比较担忧的问题。故选B。]
