德阳市2019高考英语二轮短文类训练（14） 及答案或解析 阅读理解 Find Which Direction Is South Do 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 mapreading 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 don’t know the exact time, you can still find out where south is, but you’ll need to be patient.‎ ‎①Find a straight stick and put it in the ground in a place where you can mark its shadow.‎ ‎②Try 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.‎ ‎③Mark the end of the shadow cast by the stick.‎ ‎④Wait approximately half an hour and mark the end of the shadow again.‎ ‎⑤Keep doing this until you have made several marks.‎ ‎⑥The 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.‎ ‎⑦Pick a point in the distance along the line between the shortest shadow and the stick.‎ ‎⑧That point is south of where you are.‎ ‎⑨Now 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。‎ ‎1．To find the direction, we ought to be patient probably because________.‎ A. it is not easy to find a proper stick B. it is not easy to position the stick C. it takes hours to make the marks D. it takes about half an hour to make the marks ‎[解析]　推理判断题。依据文章中的③⑤可以看出，做阴影的标记最费时间，所以要耐心。‎ ‎[答案]　C ‎2．The passage would probably be most helpful to________.‎ A. those who draw maps B. those who get lost C. those who make compasses D. those who do experiments ‎[解析]　推理判断题。依据文章第二段，“我们发现地图上的标记跟身边的不一致”，可以知道这是迷路时的现象，所以答案为B。‎ ‎[答案]　B ‎3．Which of the following pictures best shows the way of finding the direction of south?‎ ‎[解析]　依据文章中⑥的叙述，可知：离树棍最近的那条线代表的阴影最短，证明当时太阳在天空最高，指向的就是最南方，对应的正好是A。‎ ‎[答案]　A ‎4．The author presents this passage by________.‎ A. telling an interesting story B. describing an activity in a lively way C. testing an idea by reasoning D. introducing a practical method ‎[解析]　细节理解题。本文介绍的这种方法切实可行，所以作者是通过讲述一个很实用的方法来阐述这篇文章的。‎ ‎[答案]　D ‎************************************************************************结束 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36—55各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Dear son,‎ The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.‎ If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I 36 teaching it to you.

When at some ‎ moment I lose the memory or the 44 of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you 45 to me.‎ If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me.

It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.‎ Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters, others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness.‎ As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach (说教),their children may grow confused and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.‎ A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents' principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.‎ ‎46. Eagerly watching the child's acquisition of new skills .‎ A. should be avoided B. is universal among parents C. sets up dangerous states of worry in the child D. will make him lose interest in learning new things ‎47. In the process of children's learning new skills parents .‎ A. should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read B. should not expect too much of them C. should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own D. should create as many learning opportunities as possible ‎48. The second paragraph mainly tells us that .‎ A. parents should be strict with their children B. parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the community C. parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children alone D. parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation.‎ ‎49. The underlined word“precept” in Para.3 probably means“ ”‎ A. idea B. punishment C. behaviour D. instruction ‎50. In moral matters, parents should .‎ A. observe the rules themselves B. be aware of the marked difference between adults and children C. forbid things which have no foundation in morality D. consistently ensure the security of their children 参考答案 46-50 B CC D A ‎ ‎***************************************************结束 My sister and I grew up in a little village in England.
