9、 I left Tangier, my birthplace, with the intention of making the pilgrimage to Mecca (去麦加朝圣) . to leave all my friends, to abandon my home as birds abandon their nests.” So begins an old manuscript in a library in Paris the travel diary of Ibn Battuta. Almost two centuries before Columbus, this youn
10、g Moroccan set off for Mecca, returning home three decades later as one of historys great travelers. Driven by curiosity, he journeyed to remote corners of the Islamic world, traveling through 44 modern countries, three times as far as Marco Polo. Little celebrated in the West, his name is well know
11、n among Arabs. In his hometown of Tangier, a square, a hotel, a cafe, a ferry boat, and even a hamburger are named after him. Ibn Battuta stayed in Mecca as a student for several years, but the urge to travel soon took over. In one adventure, he traveled to India seeking profitable employment with t
12、he sultan the Muslim ruler of Delhi. On the way, he described his group being attacked in the open country by 80 men on foot, and two horsemen: “ I was hit by an arrow and my horse by another, but God in his grace preserved me .” In Delhi, the sultan gave him the position of judge, based on his prev
13、ious study at Mecca. But the sultan had an unpredictable character, and Ibn Battuta looked for an opportunity to leave. When the sultan offered to finance a trip to China, he agreed. Ibn Battuta set off in three ships, but misfortune struck while he was still on the shore. A sudden storm grounded an
14、d broke up two ships, scattering (散播) treasure and drowning many people and horses. As he watched, the third ship, with all his belongings and slaves one carrying his child was carried out to sea and never heard from again. After a lifetime of amazing adventures, Ibn Battuta was finally ordered by t
15、he Sultan of Morocco to return home to share his wisdom with the world. Fortunately, he agreed and wrote a book that has been translated into numerous languages, allowing people everywhere to read about his unparalleled journeys.21. What can we learn about Ibn Battuta from the passage? A. He had gre
16、at interest in the Islamic world. B. He returned to his homeland to write a book. C. His journeys were less important than Marco Polos. D. His journeys were very common for people of that time.22. The Sultan of Delhi gave Ibn Battuta a position of judge because _. A. Ibn Battuta had studied in Mecca
17、 B. Ibn Battuta had been a judge before C. Ibn Battuta had been popular with Arabs D. Ibn Battuta had traveled to many countries23. Which is the best title for the passage? A. The Learned Ibn Battuta B. A Visitor to Mecca C. The Travels of Ibn Battuta D. Desire for AdventuresB A food chain is a simp
18、le way of explaining how each living thing gets its food. For example, a simple African food chain might consist of three parts: first, trees and bushes; second, giraffes; and third, lions. Each link in a food chain is food for the next link. Food chains always start with plants and end with animals
19、.Plants are at the bottom of the food chain. Scientists call them producers, because they use light energy from the sun to produce food from carbon dioxide and water through photosynthesis (光合作用). Animals, unlike plants, cant produce their own food. Instead, they must eat plants or other animals. Th
20、is is why scientists call them consumers.Consumer animals fall into three categories. Herbivores eat only plants. Carnivores eat only other animals. Omnivores eat both plants and animals. In addition to producers and consumers, there are also decomposers (分解者). These organisms, such as bacteria and
21、fungi, feed on decaying matter. They help the food chain by speeding up the decaying process that releases minerals back into the soil to be absorbed by plants as nutrients.Most food chains have only four or five links in them. As you go up a food chain, the amount of energy at each level diminishes
22、, because some of the energy is lost in the form of waste or is used up by the organism at the level. That is why it takes many plants, for example, to feed a few giraffes who in turn feed one lion.Most animals are part of many different food chains, because they must eat more than one type of food
23、to satisfy their energy needs. All of these interconnected food chains form a more complex structure called a food web. Humans, for example, are at the center of a very complex food web, because we tend to eat many different types of plants and animals.24. Which of the following tells us about the A
24、frican food chain?A. Trees, giraffes and lions live on one another. B. Giraffes eat lions and lions feed on bushes.C. Lions live on giraffes and giraffes eat trees.D. Bushes live on lions and lions eat giraffes.25. The underlined word “diminishes”(in Paragraph 4)probably means .A. changes B. decreas
25、es C. disappears D. increases26. Those that may lie in the center of the food chain are . A. omnivores B. decomposers C. herbivores D. carnivoresC I grew up in an age when I had to wait for almost everything. Classic movies were shown on television. And, of course, one had to be home at the appointe
26、d time to watch them. “The Wizard of Oz” for example, was broadcast only once a year. The steadily heightening sense of expectation as the broadcast date approached was almost too much for my 10-year-old heart to bear.And then there was money. The banks did business on weekdays only. They opened at
27、9 and closed at 4. You needed money but didnt make it to the bank on time? Well, check under the sofa cushions or borrow from family or friends. Such was the world as recently as the 1970s. Everything seemed to operate on a strict clock, and the words “on demand” had no meaning. This was the way thi
28、ngs worked, and it was all we knew. And then, seemingly overnight, everything changed. It suddenly seemed as if I never had to be anywhere at an appointed time, because everything was available all the time. The changed times, on the other hand, have encouraged nothing less than a constant sense of
29、urgency, which is ironic(讽刺性 ): If we can have anything we want anytime we want it, shouldnt we be less hurried? The answer is that an “on demand” lifestyle has created an appetite for speed: If I can have something this fast, why cant I have it faster? Recently I read a book that has “FSTR”(get it?
30、 )written across its cover. One of its metaphors( 隐 喻 ) was telling: First there was the fresh-squeezed lemon; then there was the lemonade mix; now we just buy the lemonade by the gallon(加仑). And so, on this hot day, I went to the supermarket and bought three fresh lemons. I squeezed them into a tall glass. Then I filled the glass with cold water, ice, and a teaspoon of sugar. Fresh lemonade in hand, I went outside, sat in my lawn chair, and looked out over the river. Yes, time passes quickly. But, now and then, it doesnt have to.27. How did the young author feel about wat
