题目内容
Along a long path we came to a deep valley, on the far side of which the path led into some very thick bushes. Rather than push through up again and rejoin the path on the far side of the bushes.
As I climbed down into the valley a bird flew off h rock on which I had put my hand. On looking at the spot from which the bird had risen, I saw two eggs. They were the kind that I did not have in my collection, so I placed them carefully in my bag, wrapped in a little dry grass.
As we went further down the valley the sides became steeper and not far from where I had entered. It came to drop of about twelve to fourteen feet. The water that rushed down all these small valleys in the rainy season had worn the rock as glass. As it was too deep to climb down, I handed my gun to one of the men and slid down it. My feet had hardly touched the sandy bottom when the two men jumped down, one on each side of me. They quickly gave me the gun and asked me if I had heard the tiger. In fact, I had heard nothing; possibly because of the noise I made sliding down the rock. The men said they had heard a tiger growling somewhere nearby, but they did not know from which direction the noise had come.

1.综合推理题。整篇文章向我们介绍了作者如何穿越山谷的探险经历。A,C,D三项只是在他旅途过程中的小插曲,并不是他探险的最终目的,所以应排除。
2.句意理解题。答案见第二段最后一句。
3.细节理解题。由最后一段倒数第三句可知道那两个人开始听到了老虎的声音,后来觉得声音近了,但是他们始终没有看见老虎。
4.内容排序题。文章第一段提到了穿越灌木丛,然后走到山谷,在山谷中发现鸟蛋,然后又听到老虎的叫声,所以正确的顺序应是“bushes”、“valley”和“find eggs”,最后是“hear the sound of tiger”。

Ray Travers sat back at the large desk, and looked around his plush(豪华的)office.He was tired.
Ray's eyes stopped at a painting on the wall.It was a gift given by an old friend, Bull, as a farewell gift when he left his hometown.He recalled the life spent in that small town; pleasant times.The many hours he spent talking lo his good friend, and the tales he was told about hunting in the Africa of old.
Memories flowed back more than ten years; he remembered how he enjoyed hearing about the wonderful hunting, and how he wished he could have shared those times.
Ray opened his desk drawer and brought out a wooden box.He opened the lid and exposed a work of art, a hand-made hunting knife.This was a gift from Bull, given to Ray more than 20 years ago.It was one of the first knives Bull had made, and Ray had called it "Zambezi”, the river where Bull had been so many times.
He closed the box and sat upright at his desk; he was driving himself hard, and deserved a break.Things were going well with the business, everything running smoothly.He could afford a week off!
He went back home.A week in the hometown would be like going back in history."Man, it's going to be good," Ray said aloud, as he turned onto the highway and watched the city lights fast disappearing, as he looked in the rearview mirror.
It was well into the night when Ray pulled into an all-night gas station He walked around the gas station and the memories started … He was finally back on the road, the powerful car going its way through the night, headlights piercing (穿透) the darkness.Memories danced through the man' s mind.Memories of good times , when he knew what it was to relax , to talk, and to really visit.
Slowly entering town he looked around.Ray sat in his car, looking at the old building, smiling. Inside it was almost as though it was the same people as 15 years ago.
