The camps have excellent horses, professional guides and lots of support workers. They have a reputation for providing a great riding experience.The morning ride, when the guides take you to beautiful, shallow lakes full of water lilies, tends to be more active. It is unlike any other riding experience. With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face. It is truly exciting. You are very likely to e across large wild animals, too. On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants, giraffes and many other animals. The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though, as does your heart rate, as you move closer to them.In the evening, rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace. With golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals ing out to eat and drink. Sedate though they are, rides at this time of day are still very impressive. As the suns rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses, the romance of Africa es to life.Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. Looking back on your day, you will find it hard to deny that a horseback Safari is as close as you will ever e to answering the call of the wild.21. What does the author find most exciting about a horse safari?A. Seeing and feeling the real African life.B. Enjoying good food and wine at the camp.C. Hunting large animals just as our ancestors did.D. Being part of the scene and getting close to animals.22. What does the underlined word sedate probably mean?A. Wild and romanticB. Slow and peacefulC. Hurry and thirstyD. Active and excited23. The author introduced the riding experience in the Okavango Delta mainly by_.A. Following space orderB. Following time orderC. Making classificationsD. Giving examplesBScientists have long had it in their mind to make a robot lizard (蜥蜴). They began with finding out why a lizard can hang on a wall. They noticed the lizards toes were unique: they have suckers (吸盘), which enable it to hang on walls. They, therefore, made a robot with suckers on its hands and feet.The robot could hang on the wall but fell off when climbing. So, they went on researching. 6 years ago, scientists discovered that suckers only were not enough. It is the bristles (刚毛) on each foot that adds friction (摩擦) and static adsorption (静电吸附力) that makes a lizard move on the smooth wall easily without falling down. Then scientists made great efforts to fix thick bristles to the robots hands and feet. However, the effect was not satisfactory. The robot still couldnt attach itself firmly to the wall. Scientists got puzzled: how on earth can the lizard climb on an extremely smooth wall or even on a ceiling without dropping off? An accidental finding inspired them. One day a scientist happened to see a cat attack a lizard and bite off its tail. The lizard broke away from the cats teeth and threw itself on a wall to escape, only to fall off heavily on the ground. The scientist wondered: is it the tail that plays an important role in its travelling on the wall? He caught some lizards for an experiment. The result proved his assumption: a tailless lizard has no trouble walking on an ordinary wall but cant on a smooth one. A further study showed the lizards tail can prevent it falling over backward and, whats more, that the tail acts as an additional leg while one of the lizards legs leaves the wall, which is always the case while it is walking on the wall. Thus, Tailbot, a super tailed robot, is born. 24. What part(s) would be a must if scientists just wanted a robot which can hang on the wall? A. Suckers. B. Suckers and bristles.C. Suckers, bristles and a tail. D. Hands, feet, bristles and a tail.25. The bristles function as something _. A. to protect the lizards toes from injury B. to produce friction and static adsorptionC. to prevent a lizard falling over backwardD. to help a lizard move about without falling26. The biggest importance of a lizards tail lies in _.A.serving as another legB. helping support the body C. sticking to the wallD. stopping slipping 27. What does the underlined part in the fifth paragraph refer to?A. A lizard often falls over backward while it travels on the wall.B. A lizard often has three legs on the wall while walking on the wall.C. A lizards tail will replace one of its legs while it moves on the wall.D. A lizards tail often stops it fall over backward while moving on the wall.COn her first morning in America last summer, my daughter went out to explore her new neighborhood alone, without even telling my wife or me. Of course we were worried; we had just moved from Berlin, and she was just 8. But when she came home, we realized we had no reason to panic. Beaming with pride, she told us how she had discovered the little park around the corner, and had made friends with a few local dog owners. When this story es up in conversations with American friends, we usually meet with polite disbelief. Most are horrified by the idea that their children might roam(闲逛) around without adult supervision. A study by the University of California has found that American kids spend 90 per cent of their leisure time at home, often in front of the TV or playing video games. Such narrowing of childrens world has happened across the developed world. But German parents are generally much more accepting of letting children take some risks. “We are depriving(剥夺) them of opportunities to learn how to take control of their own lives,” writes Peter Gray, a research professor at Boston College. He argues that this increases the chance that they will suffer from anxiety, depression, and various other mental disorders, which have gone up dramatically in recent decades. I am no psychologist like Professor Gray, but I know I wont be around forever to protect my girls from the challenges life holds in store for them. And by giving kids more control over their lives, they learn to have more confidence in their own capabilities.28. Hearing the authors daughter exploring the new neighborhood alone, his American friends feel_. A. worried B. proudC. doubtful D. terrified29. We can conclude from Paragraph 3 that _. A. American kids enjoy playing at home B. German parents are less protective than American parents C. German kids like taking risks more than American kids D. American parents dont limit their childrens activities in their leisure time30. Its implied from Professor Grays words that _. A. parents should always be around their children to protect them from risks B. more and more parents suffer from mental problems C. children are having more opportunities to take control of their lives D. giving children more freedom is beneficial to their mental development31. Which of the following words can best describe the authors parenting? A. Open-minded. B. Irresponsible. C. Careless. D. Protective.
