Travel Across Africa
For six hours we shot through the barren (荒芜的) landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and 1 just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I&39;d bought in a market in Mozambique.<br>
Southern Africa was full of stories and visions. We were almost drunk on sensations. The roaring of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana.<br>
And then the other things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room, a kilometer from clean water.<br>
As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty--we hadn&39;t seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye, something moving close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn&39;t know how long they had been there next to us.<br>
I shouted to Dan: "Look! but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet."<br>
They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the red landscape.<br>
When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.<br>
"Wild horses? "he said. "Why didn&39;t you wake me up, Sophia?"<br>
"I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds."<br>
"Are you sure you didn&39;t dream it?"<br>
"You were the one who was sleeping! "<br>
"Typical," he said. "The best photos are the ones we never take."<br>
We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.
Daniel and Sophia drove slowly through the busy desert. 查看材料

After limping for some distance in an indirect course away from his parachute he began to make his way downhill through the trees. He had to find out where he was, and then decide what to do next. But walking downhill on a rapidly swelling ankle soon proved to be almost beyond his powers. He moved more and more slowly, walking in long sideway movements across the slope, which meant taking more steps but less painful ones. By the time he cleared the trees and reached the valley, day was breaking. Mist hung in soft sheets across the fields. Small cottages and farm buildings grouped like sleeping cattle around a village church, whose pointed tower pointed high into the cold winter air to welcome the morning.
"I can't go much farther," John Harding thought. "Someone is bound to find me, but what can I do? I must get a rest before I go on. They'll look for me first up there on the mountain where the plane crashed. I bet they' re out looking for it already and they are bound to find the parachute in the end. I can' t believe they won't. So they'll know I' m not dead and must be somewhere. They'll
think I'm hiding up there in the trees and rocks so they'll look for me there. So I'll go down to the village. With luck by the evening my foot will be good enough to get me to the border."
Far above him on the mountainside he could hear the faint echo of voices, startling him after the great silence. Looking up he saw lights like little pinpoints moving across the face of the mountain in the gray light. But the road was deserted, and he struggled along, still almost invisible in the first light, easing his aching foot whenever he could, avoiding stones and rough places, and limping quietly and painfully towards the village. He reached the church at last. A great need for peace almost drew him inside, but he knew that would not do. Instead, he limped along its walls towards a very old building standing a short distance from the church doors. It seemed to have been there forever, as if it had grown out of the hill inside. It had the same air of timelessness as the church. John Harding pushed open the heavy wooden door and slipped inside.
It was really hard for John to hide the parachute because ______.
A.he had sprained his ankle
B.the parachute was very heavy
C.it was pitch-dark there and the ground was hard
D.there were less pine needles on the ground
听力原文:W: Have you heard about the robbery on the jewelry shop in Clifton Road?
M: Yes, in fact, I saw part of the chase. It was terrible.
W: You saw part of the chase? Good gracious. I've only heard a very vague report about it.
M: Well, the thieves planned to rob the shop. You know, Wilson's in Clifton Road.
W: In broad daylight? I didn't know that.
M: They planned to arrive as the jewelry was being taken from the safe into the big display window. They arrived in a large red car which they parked on the opposite side d the street.
W: How many robbers were there?
M: Three. One waited inside the car and the other two walked over to the shop, carrying large briefcases. Once inside the shop, they made the manager of the shop and his assistant lie down on the floor while they filled the briefcases with jewelry. What they didn't know, however, was that another assistant was in the room at the back of the shop. He had caught sight of the two thieves and has pressed a small alarm bell. At that precise moment, a police patrol car arrived. Then the robbery went over.

听力原文: The Robinsons were driving through Port Merlin Road when they heard a loud explosion. At first, they thought it was the noise of a plane. But, before long, they saw smoke rising a few blocks away and a little further on they came upon a crowd in the street and men with armbands directing the traffic. The way ahead was blocked and they were in a one way street, so they tried taking a short cut down a side street and soon found themselves in a bad traffic jam. The car in front of them stopped and couldn't start again. So Mr. Robinson helped the driver to push it out of the way.
In the meantime, two fire engines as well as ambulances and police arrived and the ambulance men began looking for victims among the debris. The police put up a barrier with a notice across the street leading to the building, which was badly damaged. They were also trying to stop sightseers from getting near. Two of the ambulance man heard noises while they were searching. It sounded like someone knocking, m they took tm-ns clearing away the bricks to get at the person under the floor beneath them. In the end, they succeeded in rescuing him.
Some of those who had narrow escapes were interviewed by press reporters. Apparently the explosion had been mused by a leaking gas pipe and it looked as if the firm which had recently fitted the pipes was responsible for the accident.
