    It was a quiet village in which there was a military camp. It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around. Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young men to go outside. Mr. White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.

    Once Mr. White was ill in bed. He couldn’t work and a young officer, Mr. Hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr. Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening with the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they were all drunk. Of course they found the officer was angry.

    “I’m sorry, sir,” said the first soldier. “I left the town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back.”

    And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldier’s turn. He said, “I’m sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but…”

    Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once. He called out, “If you say something was wrong with your bus, I’ll punish you at once!”

    “No, no, sir,” said the young man. “My bus was all right, but the dead horses were in its way!”

    1. The military camp was built in the village to _______.

    A. stop the soldiers going to towns

    B. stop the soldiers meeting their friends

    C. train the new soldiers

    D. make the young men live quietly

    2.Mr. Hunt let the nine soldiers have a holiday because _______.

    A. he was kind to them

    B. they felt lonely

    C. they had something important to do

    D. they were the best of all

    3. The young officer was worried because _______.

    A. a traffic accident had happened to the nine soldiers

    B. he was afraid something happened to the nine soldiers

    C. he didn’t think the nine soldiers would come back

    D. the nine soldiers drank too much in the town

    4.The nine soldiers returned to the camp late because _______.

    A. something was wrong with their buses

    B. their horses died on the return way

    C. it took them much time to run back

    D. they all had drunk much in the town

    5. Which answer do you think right?

    A. I’ll believe only the last soldier.

    B. The officer believed the nine soldiers.

    C. I’ll believe none of the nine soldiers.

    D. The officer won’t punish his soldiers.

    　　For more than two days in September 1974, the People of Honduras shut their windows，locked their doors and covered in their homes．Fifi was outside．and they were frightened．

    　　By the time Fifi had left，8000 people were dead．Fifi wasn’t a pet dog as the name suggests．It was a hurricane(飓风)，one of the most destructive⒂ natural phenomena(现象)in the world．

    　　Why did we give human names to storms and hurricanes?

    　　We didn’t always．Two hundred years ago，many hurricanes in the Caribbean were named after the saint’s(基督教徒的)day on which the storm occurred．Later，storms were known by the name of the city where they came ashore．

    　　Meteorologists(气象学家)then tried naming storms after the latitude(纬度)and longitude(经度)where they occurred．

    　　Finally，in 1953，hurricanes started getting people’s names－specifically，female names．Male names were added in 1979．

    　　There are six sets of names for what the experts call “Atlantic tropical cyclones”(热带风暴)．

    　　Each list is used every six years and consists of 2l names，starting with every letter but Q, U, X, Y and Z．The names alternate between male and female．

    　　A storm won’t get a name until its winds reach 39 mph or about 62.4 kph，at which point it becomes a tropical storm．At 74 mph or 118.4 kph it’s declared a hurricane．

    　　The 126 names on the list are used only for storms that form off the Atlantic coast of the US．There are separate lists for the Pacific．

    　　So what happens if a hurricane should cross from the Atlantic to the Pacific?It’s happened before．The storm just gets a new name and sometimes a new sex．

    　　Max Mayfield is the director of the National Hurricane Centre，headquartered in Miami，Florida．He’s in charge of(负责)picking new names for storms off the Atlantic coast．

    　　He doesn’t do it alone, though．His counterparts in two dozen other countries in Caribbean， Central America and North America vote on what names will replace retired names．

    根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
    Q&A
    Question: I come from a poor family, and my parents do what they can to pay for my education. What I want to do is let my parents live a happy and comfortable life. Where can I find riches? Do I need to leave school and find a well-paid job?
    Answer: You are a considerate child.   1  An African farmer heard tales about other farmers who discovered diamond mines. These tales excited the farmer so much that he could hardly wait to sell his farm and hunt for diamonds himself.
    So he sold the farm and spent the rest of his life wandering the African continent, searching unsuccessfully for the gleaming （闪烁的）stones.   2  
    Meanwhile, back on the farm, the man who had bought his farm happened to be crossing a small stream on the farm one day.   3  He picked it up. It was a sparkling stone — a good size stone — and, admiring it, he later put it on his mantel（壁炉架）.
    Several weeks later, a visitor looked closely at it, then he nearly became unconscious. He told the farmer it was one of the largest diamonds ever discovered. The farmer said that the stream was full of these brilliant stones, and his farmland was covered with them.   4  
    If the first farmer had taken time to study and prepare himself — to learn what diamonds looked like in their rough state w and to thoroughly explore the farm he had before looking elsewhere, his wildest dreams would have come true.   5  

    A．I’d like to give you some advice on how to find the riches.
    B．Now do you have any idea of what you should do to find the riches?
    C．Finally, he threw himself into a river and drowned.
    D．However, something special he was carrying dropped into the stream.
    E. Needless to say, the farm turned out to be the most productive diamond mine.
    F. Before I answer your questions, I want to tell you a story.
    G. Suddenly he saw something gleaming at the bottom of the stream.
