One morning I was walking in the forest and suddenly saw a lion hidden in the grass, less than three metres away. With a terrible roar(吼叫), he leaped(跳跃)toward me. I aimed my gun at it and shot. But I had no practice in shooting at moving objects at such a short distance. I didn't hit him. Only by the grace(恩典)of God, the lion made such a long leap that he went flying over my head and landed five metres away from me. Just then another hunter came running and the lion quickly ran away from me.
I returned to the camp and began to practise shooting at moving objects at short distances. It was going well and I was anxious to find some animal as my target. What I saw later was much dreadful and made me decide to give up hunting. I looked up over the fence, and there at the edge of the forest was the same lion. The lion was practicing short jumps.
Joe came back from Africa and decided to give up hunting because ______.
A.hunting in Africa was terrible
B.he had been hunting for a long time
C.he had been hunting for a short time
D.he had had a terrible experience
For the purposes of this problem assume that there was an instantaneous release of 107curies of radioactive gases (and fine particles, which are assumed to remain in the atmosphere and not settle out). Then estimate the maximum ground level concentration of radioactive gases (curies/m3) when the radioactive cloud from the accident got to Sweden. Make the following assumptions:
(1) Ignore decay of the radioactive gases (i.e., assume their half-lives were infinite).
(2) Assume the distance between Chernobyl and Sweden is 1000 km.
(3) Assume that the wind speed was 3 m/s and the stability class C.
(4) Assume that the mixing height was 2000 m.
(5) Assume that mlXmg in the x direction(up and down the direction of the wind) has the same intensity as miXing in the y(crosswind)direction.
第三节 短文理解2
阅读下列短文,从[A]、[B]、[C]三个选项中选择一个正确答案。
Last Sunday I saw the worst storm. It came suddenly and went on for more than three hours.
After lunch, I went into my room to have a rest. The air was hot, and everything was quiet. The strong wind started blowing into my room suddenly. Pieces of paper on my desk flew high into the air and some flew out of the open window. As I ran out to catch them, big drops of rain began to fall.
When I came back into the house, it was raining harder and harder. I tried very hard to close the window. Then I heard a loud crashing sound from the back of the house. I ran out of my room to find out what it was -- a big tree fell down and broke the top of the back room.
The storm happened ______ .
A.in the morning
B.in the afternoon
C.while I was in the back room
The weather was fine and the wind was well below the 10 mph (miles per hour) maximum allowed for jumping.
Free-falling with eight other members of her parachute club, Elizabeth watched the Cambridge shire countryside spread out beneath her. At 2,000 feet she opened her parachute. Seconds later she had the most terrifying experience of her life. At 800 feet and right on target for the landing zone, a massive gust of wind picked her up and swept her away from the airfield near Pampisford Village. As she fought with the parachute strings to get back on course, a main road and lines of trees loomed up before her. Using every ounce of strength she managed to clear them. But then came the moment of horror. She saw herself heading straight for three 11,000 volt electrical power tines. Elizabeth crashed into the tines before she had time to think or decide anything. Came with it a tremendous flash and bang.
Elizabeth, dazed but otherwise unhurt, found herself on the ground. She looked up. Her parachute was entangled around the cables.
What happened is not exactly clear. But what is certain is that she missed death by inches. Had her body connected simultaneously with two of the cables, she would have been electrocuted in an instant. But it seemed her body bounced off one cable and her parachute pulled the three cables together and fused the lot.
Elizabeth rose to her feet, calmly released herself from the harness and was able to walk away. Later at her home in Bristol, Elizabeth, a third-year law undergraduate, said: "My friends saw the flash, heard the bang and raced over. They were surprised to see me in one piece."
Her mother, Sue Ryder, whose husband was a famous Second World War bomber pilot, said, "Elizabeth had a miraculous escape. We were enormously relieved. But she is a very competent parachutist and was so calm about it that she went on to stay with friends."
Elizabeth, who has no intention of stopping parachuting, later discovered that her collision had fused the entire electrical supply in Pampisford.
An Eastern Electricity Board spokesman said, "She is very lucky to be alive. If she had touched two of the cables simultaneously, she would have been killed without a doubt."
Which of the following statement is true?
A.Elizabeth was not at all experienced in parachute jumping.
B.Elizabeth jumped from the twin-engine plane all by herself.
C.The wind was a bit strong when Elizabeth jumped out.
D.It was by sheer luck that Elizabeth escaped death.

Dear Nora,
The big news here is our car. Kate, Lisa, and I finally convinced Joe that the old tin can would fall to pieces if It was driven up once more. But just wait till you read what my serious, conservative husband bought—a bright bright-and-yeliow hard-top convertible with white-wall tires and feather upholstery! The kids'are in seventh heaven and, frankly, I'm pretty thrilled myself.
Joe gets his vacation in June, so don't be surprised to see this vision on wheels come hocking at your front door.
And as if that wasn't excitement enough, Carl Evans came home from his study overseas with a wife! Dora's a lovely girl who lived next door to his in America. They have rented the little yellow house on the corner of Tung Garden. We were over for a buffet dinner Friday night, and can Dora cook! We all kissed our diets good- bye that night. I am enclosing her recipe for a wonderful cake called plum cake. I've tried it, and it just melts in your mouth.
Aside from the usual drugstore gossip to the effect that Jane Broder is going steady with Gene Newsom and that Mrs. Mann has painted her house shocking pink, there is nothirg new here.
Let us hear all about Gerald. I'm sure Jack love his new job, since nothing but a chance to work in Japan could have induced you all to move away. We really do miss you, so please write a long, long letter.
Affectionately,
Mary
