I had even, in my very young days-when I could not live till I had killed one of each kind of African animal-shot a bull out here. Later on, when I was not so interested to shoot as to watch the wild animals, I have been out to see them again, but twice I had to go back without success. But one afternoon as I was having tea with some friends outside the house, Denys came flying from Nairobi and went over our heads westwards; and a little while after turned and came back and landed on the farm. I drove to the plane to bring him back, but he would not get out of his plane. I cannot come, I said, I have got a tea-party, up at the house. But we will go and see them and be back in a quarter of an hour, he said. This sounded to me like the suggestions which people make to you in a dream. So I went up with him. It did not take us long to see the buffaloes from the air; we counted them as they peacefully mixed and separated on the open ground closed in by bushes. There was one very old big black bull, and a number of young ones; if a stranger had come near them they would have heard or smelt him at once, but they were not prepared for something from the air. They heard the noise of our machine and stopped feeding, but they did not seem to be able to look up. In the end they realized that something very strange was about; the old bull first walked out in front of the others. Suddenly he began to go, down the valley side and after a moment he broke into a run. The whole group now followed him, rushing hurriedly down into the bushes. In a small wood of low trees they stopped and kept close together. Here they believed themselves to be out of sight. We flew up and away. It was like having been taken there by a secret unknown route. When I came back to my tea- party, the teapot on the stove was still so hot that I burned my fingers on it.21. When young, the writer _. A. was interested to kill as many animals as possible B. enjoyed shooting one of every sort of African animal C. had failed to find the buffalo D. used to camp in the hills and watch the buffaloes in a plane22. The writer went to the plane _. A. to persuade Denys to leave the plane B. to have a talk with Denys C. because they wanted to go up in the plane D. to pick Denys up and take him back to the tea-party23.Denys said it would only take a quarter of an hour to go and see the buffaloes _.A. and he was right B. but it took much longer than thatC. but it wasnt a serious suggestion D. if they went by a secret route24. When the buffaloes heard the noise of the plane, they_. A. looked up at itB. ran away immediately C. continued feedingD. were uncertain what to do25.

A. should only be seen if the plane flew higher B. could only be seen from the ground C. thought they couldnt be seen D. could not see the planePassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 based on the following passage.Englands highest main line railway station hangs on to life by a thread: deserted and unmanned since it was officially closed in 1970. Dent Station, situated high in the hills of Yorkshire, wakes up on six summer weekends each year, when a special charter(租,包)train unloads walkers, sightseers and people who simply want to catch a train from the highest station, on to its platform. But even this limited existence may soon be brought to an end. Dent Station is situated on the Settle to Carlisle railway line, said to the most scenic（景色迷人的）in the country. But on amount of scenic beauty can save the line from British Rails cash（现金）problems. This year, for the sake of economy, the express trains, which used to pass through Dent Station, have been put on to another route. It is now an open secret that British Rail sees on future for this railway line. Most of its trains disappeared some time ago. Its bridge, built on a grand scale a century ago, is falling down. It is not alone. Half a dozen railway routes in the north of England are facing a similar threat. The problem is an outdated system and an almost total lack of cash to repair it. Bridges and tunnels(隧道) are showing their age, the wooden supports for the tracks are rotting and engines and coaches are getting old.On major lines between large cities, the problem is not too bad. These lines still make a profit and cash can be found to maintain them. But on the country branch line, the story is different. Although tracks have been much used, they are not replaced. Instead, speed limits are introduced, making journeys longer than necessary and discouraging customers. 26. Since 1970 Dent Station has been used _. A. only by hill walkers B. only by local peopleC. only in some yearsD. only for a part of each year27. Of all the railway routes in Britain, the one that passes Dent Station_. A. is the most expensive to maintain B. passes through the most beautiful countryside C. is the most historic D. carries the largest number of tourists28.

By hangs on to life by a thread” (Para.1) the author most probably means_. A. it is dangerous for Dent Station to be situated high in the hills B. even the limited use of Dent Station may soon come to a close C. many people still come to Dent despite the official closedown of Dent Station D. British Rail is faced with the cash problem 30. The prospects(前景) that the county railway might be closed is viewed by the author with_.A. surprise B. approval C. regret D. angerPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Urban life has always involved a balancing of opportunities and rewards againest dangers and stress; its motivating force is, in the broadest sense, money. Opportunities to make money men competition, and competition is stressful, it is often at its most intense in the largest cities, where opportunities are greatest. The presence of huge numbers of people inevitably involves more conflict, more traveling, overloading of public services and exposure to those criminals(罪犯) who are drawn by the wealth in large cities. Crime has always flourished in the relative anonymity(无名) of urban life, but todays ease of movement makes its control more diffcult than ever; there is much evidence that its extent has a direct relationship to the size of communities. City dweller may become trapped in their homes by the fear of crime around them.As a defense againest these developments, city dwellers tend to use various strategies(策略) to try and reduce the pressures upon themselves: contacts with other people are generally made brief adn ompersonal: doors are kept locked; journeys outside the home are usually hurried, rather than a source of pleasure. There are other strategies, too, which are positively harmful to the individual; for example, reduceing awareness through drugs and alcohol. Futhermore, all these defensive forms of behavior are harmful to society in general; they cause widespread loneliness and destory the communitys concern for its members. Lack of informal social contact and indifference to the misfortunes of others, if they are not personally known, are among ther major causes of urban crime.
