So, armed with a rifle and led by a young African boy, the padre set out one evening for a pool in the jungle where he was told a lion came each evening to 2 .

20、 He waited patiently for a few 3 until shortly before midnight when he heard a rustling(沙沙声 ) noise. Sure enough a few feet away the head of the lion appeared above a bush that separated the padre and the pool. He aimed and fired. The head of the lion 4 fell behind the bush but a moment later 5 . So

21、 the padre aimed and 6 again. The head of the lion fell behind the bush and once more reappeared. The padre fired again: the same 7 .

22、African boy had to 11 him: “This is your last chance. If you 12 this time, we are in trouble.” The padre then realized how 13 the situation was, so he took a deep breath, aimed very carefully and fired. They waited for a moment, and then slowly 14 up to twenty: the head of the lion did not reappear.

23、 The padre was certain that at last he had shot his lion. They 15 forward together to the spot behind the bush. And what do you think they found Sixteen lions! 1.

26、forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some formsfootball, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering. Those who have a passion of climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with ast

27、onishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure. Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are n

28、o man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use

29、their own methods. If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “ matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face li

30、nked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork. The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities. A mountain climber conti

31、nues to improve in skill year by year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and t

32、hey certainly experience equal enjoyment. 【小题 1】 What sports are popular among people in winter in the passage A Soccer and golf. B Skiing and skating. C Cycling and hockey. D Mountaineering. 【小题 2】 The underlined word “passion” in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by _. A. strong emotion B. good w

33、ay 【小题 3】 Mountaineering is a sport, not a game because_. A it has man-made rules B it is too dangerous for climbers C it cant bring people joy or leisure D it is free for climbers to use their own methods 【小题 4】 We know from the passage that _. A mountaineering has no appeal for people B physical q

34、uality is more important than mental one for climbers C a mountain climber passes his best by the age of thirty D it is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the Alps 【小题 5】 What is the best title for the passage A Sports in winter B Team work in climbing C Mountaineering D The quality

35、for mountaineering 答案：【小题 1】 B【小题 1】 A【小题 1】 D【小题 1】 D【小题 1】 C Before astronauts can go into space, they have to have the right suit. Thats why NASA（美国国家航天和航空局） scientists are developing a new kind of space suitlighter and more flexible than before. These new space suits will have lots of mobility(灵

36、活性 ) for the astronauts, but will not need much maintenance. NASA wants the suits to include new technology that can help astronauts be safe in outer space. Right now, the American space suit weighs about 275 pounds and is big and massive. But the suit is also easy to work in for long periods of tim

37、e. The Russian space suit is less complicated, but is used only a few times and then gets thrown away. “Finding the right balance is always going to be a challenge,” said a long-time astronaut Jeff Williams. Williams has worn both types of suits. Space suits protect astronauts from both extreme heat

38、 and freezing temperatures. They carry life-packs with oxygen for the astronauts. They also shield astronauts from radiation, or particles that send out harmful rays. Scientists are using computers to design the new suits. This allows them to change the design again and again, and to even test the d

39、esign out before actually making anything. “Theres a lot more capable tools and technology to get the job donea lot more knowledge, as well,” said Joe Kosmo. Kosmo helped design, develop, and test suits during the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, and shuttle periods. These new space suits will be mu

40、ch lighter and use a new kind of complex material. They also will have a smaller life support backpack, thanks to tiny electronics. NASA hopes to have the first prototypes(原型 ) in development by 2010 and certify(证明 ) the suit by 2012. This will be in time for the launch of the Orion spaceship in 201

41、4. 【小题 1】 What characteristic does the new space suit have A The new space suit will need much maintenance. B The new space suit will be heavier than before. C The new space suit will have less mobility than before. D The new suit will use new technology to help astronauts be safe in outer space. 【小

42、题 2】 Whats the disadvantage of the Russian space suit A The Russian space suit is big and massive. B The Russian space suit is much complicated. C The Russian space suit is merely used a few times. D The Russian space suit is easy to work in for long periods of time. 【小题 3】 The underlined word “shie

43、ld” in the third paragraph might mean_. A harm B protect C help D warn 【小题 4】 Why can scientists test the design out before actually making the new space suits A Because designing the new space suit is not a complex task. B Because computers are being used to help scientists design the new space sui

44、ts. C Because it needs little knowledge to design the new space suits. D Because the scientists only change the old space suits a little and make them into the new ones. 【小题 5】 How long will it take scientists to put the new space suits from prototypes into the first practical use A Two years. B Thr

45、ee years. C Four years. D Six years. 答案：【小题 1】 D【小题 1】 C【小题 1】 B【小题 1】 B【小题 1】 C Next Hot Language to Study: Chinese The fourth-graders at Chicagos McCormick Primary School are unaware of the difficulty in learning Chinese. For most, who speak Spanish at home, its becoming their third language. They

46、ve been learning and using Chinese words since kindergarten, and its now second nature to give a hearty “ni hao” when strangers enter the classroom. The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual, but it may soon be a common fixture(固定物 ) in American schools, where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot n

47、ew language. Government officials have long wanted more focus on securityuseful languages like Chinese, and pressure from themas well as from business leaders, politicians, and parentshas driven a quick growth in the number of programs. Chicago itself is home to the largest effort to include Chinese

48、 in US public schools. The program here has grown to include 3,000 students in 20 schools, with more schools on a waiting list. Programs have also spread to places like Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, and North Carolina. Its true that the number of students learning Chinese is tiny compared wit

49、h how many study Spanish or French. Advocates (提倡者，拥护者 ) see knowledge of the Chinese language and culture as a help in a global economy where China is growing in importance. “This is an interesting way to begin to engage with the worlds next superpower,” says Michael Levine, director of education at the Asia Society, which has started five new public high schools that offer Chinese. “Globalization（全球化 ) has already changed the
