The couple are in England to visit friends and family before heading back to Tanzania for their next film. Their work takes them to some of the worlds least-known areas but they still find themselves drawn back to England, particularly to Cornwall, where their work and personal relationship developed.“We met in London when Mark was studying biology and I was at the Royal College of Art studying photography,” says Victoria. “We both learned to dive at the same pool in London and went on diving weekends in the country. It was a terrible place, freezing cold, where we dived in wet suits full of holes. But that is where our relationship developed.”After completing their studies they took part in the management of a conservation area in the mouth of the River Fal in Cornwall. “We were shocked. Nobody seemed to understand the rivers ecological importance. So we thought, why dont we make a film to show people what a special place it is? Neither of us had any experience of filming but we took part-time jobs until we had enough cash to buy an underwater camera and some film.” A television company agreed to provide money for the work and the film they produced about the underwater life of the River Fal was shown on television and won a number of prizes.By then, they both knew they wanted to work with wildlife in distant places around the world. Alkan Root, a famous East African wildlife film-maker, asked them to work for him. That was seven years ago and the job took them to the Serengeti to film crocodiles. Their films, Here Be Dragons and Devil Fish, were very successful.“We love Africa but we have to come back to England every year,” says Victoria. “We need to return to see our friends and family. For us, Africa is temporary and England means permanence. Its the difference between living in a tent in Tanzania and a house in Cornwall. We are lucky we have the best of both worlds.”56Mark and Victoria have returned to England to _. A. appear on televisionB. make a film about CornwallC. have a break between filmsD. receive a prize for their new film57Victoria regards her weekends learning to dive as _. A. a waste of timeB. an unforgettable experienceC. an enjoyable activityD. good exercise for health58The purpose of filming in the River Fal was to _. A. earn moneyB. educate peopleC. gain photographic experienceD. make a television program59What does Victoria mean when she says “we have the best of both worlds” (last paragraph)? A. They can live in both a tent and a house.B. They can film in Cornwall as well as in Africa.C. They can visit both friends and family at the same time.D. They are happy and successful both in Africa and England.BOn the night of July 6, 1943, a plane took off from an Air Force base in England to intercept (截击) German fighters over the English Channel. Piloting the plane was Captain Thomas Nash. Looking westward, Nash saw twelve orange lights in a row, moving at a fantastic rate of speed. An old experienced flyer, he had never seen anything like them. Thinking they might be a new German weapon, he decided to give chase. But when he swung the plane around and headed directly for the lights, they disappeared. Captain Nash may have been the first to see such orange lights but he wasnt the last. His experience was repeated many times by pilots during World Warboth in Europe and the Far East. Pilots in the Korean War also reported seeing the strange lights. What were they? No one knows for sure, but there is an interesting theory to account for them. According to this theory, the orange lights are space animals animals specially adapted to life in the upper atmosphere just as some creatures are adapted to life at the bottom of the sea. These space animals, the theory says, live so far up in the atmosphere that they are not visible from earth. They feed partly on the air and partly on energy from sunlight. Being almost pure energy themselves, they can adjust their bodies to glow (发光) at night. During the day they become invisible. Before World War II, continues the theory, there was little radiated (发射的) energy available on the earths surface. Then came the development of rockets, atomic reactors (核反应堆), and hydroelectric plants (水力发电厂). The space creatures are attracted to these sources of energy of food. At night when there is no energy from sunlight, they go down into the lower levels in search of a meal. They may even drift into the range of human eyesight. This explains the fact that they have been sighted regularly from the earth since 1943. 60The best statement of the main idea of this passage is that _. ACaptain Nash saw twelve orange lights traveling at a fantastic rate of speed BCaptain Nash may have been the first to see lights in space Caccording to an interesting theory, the orange lights are space animals Dthe mysteries of nature can be fully explained61The theory says that during the daytime the space animals _. Aglow brightly in the sky Bare invisible Ccan be spotted from earth Dvisit the earths surface62If the space animal theory is correct，the creatures go down to the lower regions in order to_. Aescape being discovered Bcause curiosity Csearch for man-made energy Dmake contact with man63The space animal theory would seem to suggest that _Aliving beings are extremely adaptableBlife in space is impossible for manCthe fittest creatures always surviveDlife cannot exist in the depth of the seaCThe first people who gave names to hurricanes were those who knew them best the people of Puerto Rico. The small island of Puerto Rico is in the West Indies, off the coast of Florida. This is where all the hurricanes begin that strike the east coast of the United States. Often they pass near Puerto Rico or cross it on their way north. The people of Puerto Rico expect some of these unwelcome visitors every year. Each one is named after the Saints Day on which it arrives. Two of the most destructive storms were the Santo Ana in 1840 and the San Ciriaco in 1899. Giving girls names to hurricanes is a fairly new idea. It all began with a story called “Storm”, written by George Stewart in 1941. In it a weatherman amused himself by naming storms after girls he knew. He named one Maria. The story describes how she Maria grew and developed, and how she changed the lives of people when she struck the United States. Weathermen of the U.S. Army and Navy used the same system during World War. They were studying weather conditions over the Pacific Ocean. One of their duties was to warn American ships and planes when a storm was coming. Whenever they spotted one, they gave it a girls name. The first one of the year was given a name beginning with A. The second one got a name beginning with B. They used all the letters from A to W, and still the storms kept coming. They had to use three lists from A to W to have enough names to go around. This was the first list of hurricane names that followed the alphabet. It served as a model for the system the Weather Bureau (局) introduced in 1942. Before 1950 the Weather Bureau had no special system for naming hurricanes. When a hurricane was born down in the West Indies, the Weather Bureau simply collected information about it. It reported how fast the storm was moving and where it would go next. Weather reports warned people in the path of the hurricane, so that they could do whatever was necessary to protect themselves. This system worked out fine as long as weather reports talked about only one hurricane at a time. But one week in September 1950 there were three hurricanes at the same time. The things began to get confused. Some people got the hurricanes mixed up and didnt know which was which. This convinced the Weather Bureau that it needed a code for naming the storms in order to avoid confusion in the future. 64Hurricanes were first named after the _.Adate on which they occurred Bplace where they began Camount of destruction they did Dparticular feature they have65The practice of giving girls names to hurricanes was started by _.
