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.

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

They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and t

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

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_.

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

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
