The United States has a new national park. It is the Great Basin. It is the first national park in the western state of Nevada. The new park is in the eastern part of Nevada, near the border(边界) with Utah. It is far from any city.
An American explorer John Charles Fremont traveled through the area in the early 1800's. He found the land shaped like a bowl. So he named it the Great Basin. It is a land of unusual beauty and sharp differences.
For example, you can climb a mountain covered with green forests, then cool yourself in a field of snow as you arrive at the top. Here and there, sharp rocks push out through the snow. Among the rocks you might see homes of the golden hawk (鹰), a bird that was once in danger of dying out.
You can camp in a campground on the edge of Lehman Caves. These caves are a group of large underground rooms made of limestone (石灰石). You can walk through them for about a kilometer. Before the park opened, the caves were the center of interests for anyone traveling through this area.
The state of Nevada has wanted a national park for more than sixty years. There have always been the opposite ideas from people who believed that a park would harm (损害) mining and agricultural interests. The bill that set up the park, however, promises that mines will remain open, and that sheep and cows will continue to feed on the mountainsides.

Alex felt restless. Along with his sister Rosita and his friend Hugo, Alex had been waiting in the cave for nearly three hours 1 either an attack from the returning robbers or the 2 of a rescue party, but nothing had happened. He and Rosita had some 3 and a sleep, and now it was Hugo's turn to sleep after his meal. Rosita was 4 in the entrance to the cave keeping watch on the valley below. Alex threw himself down beside her.
“I do hope Ruark is all right,” she said, her eyes on the view outside. “I keep hoping I will __5 him somewhere.”
“I'm sure he's okay,” answered Alex. “I'm pretty 6 the enemy thought it was a ground 7 . Anyway, they were too busy rushing to 8 in their jeep to 9 time firing at a condor (神鹰). I'm not worried about him. What I am worrying about, though, are the words on that 10 that was tied to Ruark's leg. I keep saying the words to myself: What about the cave? There's a two-meter hole at the back of it. No one will find it. There are so many caves ... The money they stole is hidden somewhere out there and I should hate them to come back and 11 it from under our noses.”
“Well,” replied his sister, “you 12 what the man said. There are so many caves. At a 13 , I can see about two hundred of them dotted around. It could take a week to 14 in them all.” “Yes. It's a 15 hiding place, but I think we have one clue (线索)that might help us. Ruark was perched (落)somewhere 16 enough for the tape to pick up their 17 . He was probably situated just above the entrance. Condors are not 18 tiny birds so he may have been on a shelf or an overhanging rock 19 enough to take his big feet and body.” Alex 20 closed his eyes against the strong light outside and tried to examine the opposite side of the valley.

When we talk about boomerangs (回飞棒), we usually mean the curved devices(弯曲的设备) that return to you when you throw them, but there are actually two different kinds of boomerangs: the returning type and the non-returning type. Most returning boomerangs measure 30 to 60 cm across. Non-returning boomerangs are usually heavier and longer; typically 1 meter or more across, usually used as hunting weapons.
Experts believe the invention of boomerangs was mostly a matter of trial and error. First let’s consider how a primitive hunter might have come up with a non-returning boomerang. In nature, there are plenty of sticks that are bent in a curve like a boomerang, and people probably threw the sorts of sticks all the time. Because of the stabilizing motion of the two branches of the stick, this sort of stick would have stayed in the air longer and would have been easier to send in the desired direction. Primitive humans noticed this and so they started specifically seeking out bent sticks. Then they started selecting the best curved sticks (thinner, longer ones work better) and were soon making some changes so they were especially suited for taking down birds and animals.
Experts aren’t really sure when and where people first developed returning boomerangs, but the Aborigines of Australia are generally credited with the invention. The Aborigines used non-returning boomerangs, which they called kylies, widely in hunting, and the theory is that at some point, one or more Aborigines used a kylie with the particular shape of a boomerang and noticed that it traveled in a curve. That might have been a pure accident.
The amazing flight pattern of the new discovery didn’t really help out much in hunting—it actually made it harder to aim accurately—but it was, of course, really cool. Evidently, the Aborigines perfected the boomerang design and throwing technique for the simple pleasure of it. However, the boomerang did have some limited use in hunting. The Aborigines would set up nets in trees and then throw the boomerang into the air while making a hawk（鹰）call. This would scare birds so they would fly down into the nets.
51. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?
A. How primitive men invented returning boomerangs.
B. How non-returning boomerangs were invented.
C. How the Aborigines of Australia use boomerangs.
D. How to throw and catch returning boomerangs.
52. We learn from the passage that returning boomerangs_________.
A. were developed from non-returning boomerangs
B. were invented earlier than non-returning boomerangs
C. are generally called“kylies”by the Aborigines
D. are heavier and longer than non-returning boomerangs
53. From the fourth paragraph, we can infer non-returning boomerangs are more suitable for hunting because _________.
A. they look more frightening
B. they can move in a circle
C. they are easier to aim
D. they are lighter to carry
54. According to the passage，it is most probable that Aborigines_________.
A. first used bent sticks to frighten animals
B. never used returning boomerangs in hunting
C. liked to play with the kylie for pleasure
D. are the inventor of returning boomerangs

阅读下面的短文，并根据文章后的题目要求回答76-80小题。
Tibet lies high in the mountains, where there are few trees for fuel and the ground is too hard to dig a grave. Therefore, for centuries, one of the most common ways for Tibetans to dispose of dead bodies has been by sky burials. Basically, this means allowing vultures（秃鹰）to eat the corpses.
In many cultures, allowing animals to eat the bodies of relatives would show a lack of respect for them. But Tibetan views on dead bodies are different. Tibetans believe that the body is simply a container for the spirit, and it is only the spirit that is important.
After a Tibetan dies, the body is not touched for three days. The spirit is allowed to leave peacefully. Lengthy prayers are said for the spirit, and then the body is taken for sky burial.
Sky burials take place outside temples, with monks in attendance. People might travel for days with the dead to reach an auspicious（吉利的）temple. In the whole of Tibet there are only three temples that are considered particularly auspicious.
The burial itself takes place quickly, with little ceremony. First the body is stripped naked and placed on holy stones. It is then cut into small pieces and the bones are broken. When everything has been made easy to digest, the monks say prayers for the deceased and move back. Vultures flock to the remains, and within a short time, there is nothing left.
Tibetans believe that ___________________ the body will be returned to the mountains and the spirit will be allowed to fly free.
