One day last November, Tom Baker stopped out of his house into the morning light and headed across the rice fields toward the bank of the Rapti River. Tom, a 32-year-old school teacher in the farming village of Madanpur, was going for his morning bath.
As he approached(走近) the river, the head of a tiger(老虎) suddenly appeared over the edge of the river bank. Before he could turn to run, the tiger was upon him. It jumped on his shoulder and threw him to the ground, its huge jaws attacked his head in a killing bite.

If Barack Obama"s wife and kids thought they"d be getting his undivided attention during their long-awaited summer holiday, perhaps they should think again.
The US President kicked off his vacation by revealing that, in addition to endless games of tennis and golf, he plans to spend the week ploughing through five books, weighing in at an astonishing 2,300 pages. His summer reading list, unveiled(透露) by the White House, contains two heavyweight works of non–fiction and three novels.
On top of the president’s table is Hot, Flat and Crowded, by New York Times columnist, Thomas Friedman. Subtitled "why we need a green revolution", it makes a leftish(左倾的) call to arms regarding the future of the planet.
Mr Obama"s second choice is historian David McCullough"s biography of John Adams, the often under-rated second US president, who was the subject of an award-winning HBO docu-drama(纪实剧)last year.
The novels include two crime thrillers: Richard Price"s Lush Life, and The Way Home, a novel by George Pelecanos set in Washington, DC – which, much like Obama"s best-selling autobiography(自传), explores the relationship between a father and his son.
Completing the set is the novel Plainsong, by a little-known writer called Kent Haruf. Set in a small town on the Colorado plains, its existence on the reading list may reassure voters that Middle America has not been ignored by their commander-in-chief.
Publishers are keeping an eye on whether the famous "Obama bounce" – which has helped sales at the first family"s favourite clothes stores, such as J Crew – will continue to apply to their troubled industry. The President"s endorsement(认可) is said to have lifted sales of Joseph O"Neill"s novel Netherland about cricket in Holland and New York last year.
Given that President Obama has already spent a portion of his week so far playing golf, beating Michelle at tennis, and visiting friends, questions will inevitably(不可避免地) be asked about his ability to put any dent(挫伤) at all in the ambitious reading list.
To finish all five books, he would have to manage more than 300 pages every day – quite an "ask" when a small portion of his time must also be spent running the country.
57. What’s the function of the first paragraph?
A. To give an example.
B. To introduce a topic.
C. To describe a hope.
D. To offer an argument.
58. Which of the following statements is NOT true?   
A. Some people doubted if the president could finish his books.
B. The Way Home is a book which explores the relationship between a father and his son.
C. Lush life, set in Washington, is a novel written by Richard Price.
D. Thanks to Obama, sales of Netherland have been lifted.
59. Which of the following was NOT a book the President planned to read?
A. John Adams.
B. Netherland.
C. Hot, Flat and Crowded.
D. Lush Life.
60. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?       
A. Obama’s Hobbies
B. Obama’s Holiday Plan
C. Obama’s Holiday Life
D. Obama’s Holiday Book List

Rick, Bill, David, Jack 和 Tom是美国一家研究所的员工,他们正在寻找度假的地方,要亲眼看看全球气候变暖对地球的影响。下面(A, B, C, D, E和F)是Mother Nature Network提供的在不久的将来因全球气候变暖可能要消失的6个地方的有关信息,请你从中选出最适合他们去的地方。选项中有一项是多余选项。
61. Rick: I love nature. I think any place in nature is beautiful and worth protecting. However, more and more lands are becoming deserts. I’d like to go to a place which will let me have a close look at the landscape before it is swallowed by deserts.
62. Bill: I love sea, so do my wife and my son. I’d like to stay in a place for some time with my family to experience the sea thoroughly—to see it with my own eyes; to smell it with my own nose; and to feel it with my own body.
63. David: I want to get some information that will be of some help to see the damage pollution has done to corals so that we may have some idea to prevent them from disappearing completely.
64. Jack: I love nature, but I don’t like travel long way. I don’t want to go to other countries. I plan to go to some place in my own country to see glaciers before it’s too late.
65. Tom: I love nature and I also love travel. I plan to go to an area where climate-related disasters may happen so that I will collect some information for my research work although it may be a little dangerous.
Globe warming is a serious problem. Climate change is rapidly altering the landscape of our planet. We may be one of the last generations to see some of the Earth"s most cherished places. Here"s our list of 6 places to see before they completely disappear.
A. Glacier National Park
Just slightly more than 100 years ago, there were as many as 150 glaciers dotted throughout Glacier National Park in the north of the U S A. By 2005, only 27 remained, and those are expected to disappear completely by 2030, if not earlier. Many of the plant and animal species that call the park home require cold water, meaning the ecosystem of the park stands to change dramatically when the glaciers are gone.
B. Great Barrier Reef
It"s so large that it can be seen from space, but the Great Barrier Reef is disappearing at an increased rate because of climate change. Rising ocean temperatures, water pollution, ocean acidification and cyclones continually hit the reef and have caused mass coral bleaching. What took 8,000 years for nature to build could disappear within our lifetimes.
C. Maldives
Maldives is the lowest-lying country in the world, with a maximum natural ground level of 2.3 meters (7 feet, 7 inches), and an average of only 1.5 meters (4 feet, 11 inches) above sea level. If sea levels rise too much, the country would earn an unwanted superlative: the first nation to be swallowed by the ocean because of global warming.
D. Patagonia
A land of untouched beauty, South America"s Patagonia stands to be dramatically altered by climate change. Many of its glaciers are steadfastly retreating due to rising temperatures and declining rainfall. While this land doesn"t stand to disappear entirely, its landscape may soon be altered beyond recognition if global warming persists.
E. Bangladesh
Set in the low-lying Ganges–Brahmaputra River Delta, Bangladesh sits in a perfect storm of climactic conditions. About 50 percent of the area would be flooded if the sea level were to rise by 1 meter. Bangladesh also lies at the heart of the monsoon belt. Natural calamities, such as floods, tropical cyclones, tornadoes and tidal bores(怒潮)occur here almost every year — with tragic results.
F. South Australia
Much like the Sahara in Africa, desertification also threatens South Australia. Across the region, fresh water supplies are rapidly drying up. Meanwhile, the parched(焦***)landscape increases the occurrence of wildfires, threatening agriculture, wildlife and hundreds of Australian homes.
