When my father used his pocket money to 1my mother to visit her parents who lived far away there was just my younger brother and myself in the house. One evening Dad came home from 2and there was no food in the house, not 3a piece of bread. Although we were 4, my brother and I went to bed without eating anything.My father had no money, but I knew from the worry on his face that he could not let us have an empty stomach. He 5the house and about two hours later returned and quickly6us up. He had in his hand two small potato pies, which he gave us to eat. I didnt know where he got the food but anyway, he 7to get us something to eat.My father had not eaten and had worked all day 8he sat there, feeling satisfied while watching us eat. This has 9stayed in my mind and left 10of an impression than any amount of money he may ever have given me.At that moment, I felt happy knowing that he was there and would not let us suffer.I guess in difficult times it is 11not to show weakness but strength, If a 12is the cement (粘合剂) that holds a family together, then the father is 13that strengthens(加强)that cement.It is his values and 14and memories that have carried me forward and helped me to15my own problems in life.

If not, please take with you a compass. But if you forget to take a compass, you can still find your way.Its never a wise idea to believe that the family member who was good at the job of map-reading knows where the family is. You can tell by the troubled look on their faces that nothing on the ground seems to match the map. Never mind. The sun is shining and its 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(a dark shape on a surface that is made when something stands between a light and the surface).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). You havent got one? OK, use a thread(线) from your clothes with a button(纽扣) tied at the end to act as a weight.Mark the end of the shadow cast(投射) by the stick.Wait about 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.（1）To find the direction, we have 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 hours to mark the map（2）The passage would probably be most helpful to _.A . those who draw mapsB . those who get lostC . those who make compassesD . those who do experiments（3）Which of the following pictures best shows the way of finding the direction of south?A . B . C . D . （4）The writer presents this passage by _.A . telling an interesting storyB . describing an activity in a lively wayC . testing an idea by reasoningD . introducing a practical method12. （10分）阅读理解It was my first time in the US. I think there is no other country that I have heard so many things about before I visited it. Burgers, big cars, fat people, good wine and fantastic cities. For sure the real experience was quite different. Although you can find all these things there, you will also find many other things to discover.In Los Angeles, I stayed at a place where they even produced home-made videos. I always thought in Hollywood only movies with lots of money are produced. But in this place, even parts of the living room were functioned (运作) into a scene. But anyway, this shows what you imagined about a place before arriving might be totally wrong. Now I started to understand the city is not only the place where the big movies are made, its also where people are crazy about movies, and always try to start a production even if they dont have lots of money. People there just really love movies, they are motivated (调动积极) to give their ideas a try and at least open up a channel online with their home-made stories.Of course, there are many other interesting places in Los Angeles. As I stayed only a few days, it was not enough time to see all. But I advise you to have two apps on your smart phone for traveling in America. First is Yelp to find the closest and best restaurant or coffee place. And the other is Uber because especially in Los Angeles, you wont find taxis and everything is so far. You can also drive but its wise to park your car close to a subway station and go to Hollywood by subway.（1）The writer has already known a lot about the U.S. before going there except the _.A . weatherB . foodC . peopleD . cities（2）Which of the following is WRONG about the place where the writer stayed?A . Some home-made videos are also made.B . Not only movies with lots of money are produced.C . Even parts of the living room were functioned into a scene.D . The place is almost the same as what the writer imagined.（3）The people in the place where the writer stayed _.A . are only crazy about big moviesB . usually dont have lots of moneyC . always try to start a productionD . may open up a channel online with others home-made stories（4）The writer gives us some advice about traveling in America NOT including _.A . how to find the best restaurantB . where to park our car if drivingC . whether to find taxis if its too farD . how to take a subway to Hollywood（5）The passage mainly talks about _.A . what Los Angeles is really likeB . how the writer travels in AmericaC . apps you can use on your smart phoneD . the writers travel feelings and some advice13. （8分）阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。DHow old is old? The answer has changed over the years. Two Hundred years ago, you were old at 35. At the beginning of the 20th century, the average life span(平均寿命) was 45. In 1950, 70-year-olds were really old. Today, a healthy 70-year-old is still thought young.So, how old is old? The answer is one youve heard many times, from all kinds of people. You are as old (or young) as you feel. Your age simply tells you how many years you have lived. Your body tells you how well youve lived.Nobody grows old by living a number of years, Wrote a writer. People grow old when they dont have their ideals(理想). People shouldnt have the wrong ideas about aging. Sometimes, older minds can be as bright as young minds.
