3.A lodestone compass was used in China during the Han Dynasty between the 2nd century BC and 1st century AD,where it was called the "south-governor" (sīnán).It was not used for navigation,but rather for geomancy and fortune-telling.The earliest reference to a magnetic device used for navigation is in a Song Dynasty book dating to 1040-1044,where there is a description of an iron "south-pointing fish" floating in a bowl of water,aligning itself to the south.The device is recommended as a means of orientation "in the obscurity of the night." The first suspended magnetic needle compass was written by Shen Kuo in his book of 1088.
For most of Chinese history,the compass that remained in use was in the form of a magnetic needle floating in a bowl of water.According to Needham,the Chinese in the Song Dynasty and continuing Yuan Dynasty did make use of a dry compass,although this type never became as widely used in China as the wet compass.
The dry compass used in China was a dry suspension compass,a wooden frame crafted in the shape of a turtle hung upside down by a board,with the lodestone sealed in by wax,and if rotated,the needle at the tail would always point in the northern cardinal direction.Although the 14th century European com pass-card in box frame and dry pivot needle was adopted in China after its use was taken by Japanese pirates in the 16th century (who had in turn learned of it from Europeans),the Chinese design of the suspended dry compass persisted in use well into the 18th century.
(1)What was sīnán used for?
A.Trade.
B.Orientation.
C.Fortune-telling.
D.Navigation.
(2)What does the underlined word "aligning" in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.a(chǎn)larming
B.a(chǎn)djusting
C.reminding
D.forcing
(3)Which of the following can be known from the text?
A.The wet compass was widely used in China.
B.The needle of the dry compass would always faced the south.
C.Japanese pirates in 16th century knew little about compass.
D.The first compass was mentioned in a book of 1088 written by Needham.
(4)What is the best title for the text?
A.Great Scientists
B.The Famous Dynasties in History
C.The Unforgettable Centuries of China
D.The Great Invention of Ancient China-Compass組卷:12引用:2難度:0.5

9.The canteen was crowded with summer campers from high schools across the city,all extremely hungry after a day's activities.I spotted an empty place and walked there.Just as I put my tray(餐盤)down,I felt a bump against my hip.The tray dropped on the table and the soup spilt all over my camp shirt and jeans.And I heard a burst of laughter.
"Can't you look where you are going,you clumsy fool!" I shouted,glaring at the troublemaker,a tall boy with wild hair.
"Sorry!Can't help laughing!You look so funny!" said the boy,bending over with laughter.I was too annoyed to respond and just walked away to change my clothes.
The next morning,we were all assembled for roll call(點名),when I saw the same boy come running out of the dorm,his unbuttoned shirt flying behind him.Before he could slide into place,he was spotted by the Camp Commandant.As a punishment for being late,he was made to do a hundred pushups.As I walked past him later,I let out a loud laugh,saying"Sorry.I can't help laughing.You look so funny."
So the war of words continued in the following three days with the wild-haired boy,whose name,I found out,was Ben.
A mountain hike(遠足)marked the last day of the camp.On the way back,I found myself left far behind my team.Soon,they were out of sight.The camp site was a long way away and I was getting anxious as evening fell.I risked taking a shortcut(近路)clung to the mountain side,but suddenly,I tripped off the path and slid right down the slope(斜 坡).
Fortunately,my fall was stopped by a bunch of bamboo.I saw I was about ten meters below the track.There was no way I could climb up the slope as evidently I had my ankle broken.After making several vain attempts,I waited hopelessly.It got dark and I became afraid.
注意:1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150詞左右;
2.請按如下格式作答。
Then,I saw a faint light,and heard a voice calling out my name.
_____
The next day,as we were boarding the buses which would take us back to our own homes,Ben came up to me.
