    　　A dream became true as two young pilots took off to fly around the world．

    　　Chris Wall and Dan Dominguez have been dreaming big since they were 17-year-old high school students in EL Paso, Tex．U S A．At that time they flew alone in a plane to Alaska and back．

    　　Now they were really dreaming big．They were planning to take off this September on an around-the-world flight．And all went well, the 21-year-old pilots at last broke a world record by becoming the youngest to fly by themselves around the Earth．

    　　As they circled the world in their small, twin-engine airplane, they would be taking plenty of kids along for the ride, because students could follow their flight by way of the Internet．The flight took three months and made about 32 stops．

    　　Their plane was highly versatile (多用途的)．Dan said, “It can take off from a muddy strip in Bali, the deserts of Egypt, the jungles of Africa, yet it can still cross the ocean．”

    　　Dan, a commercial pilot and flight instructor, recently graduated from the University of Rochester New York State．Chris is a three-year student at Rice University in Houston, Tex．

    　　The purpose of their project, called World Flight 2000, was to make education more interactive and to encourage young people to follow their dreams no matter how challenging they are．

    　　Said Dan：“We want to share the spirit of flying and show students that anything is possible with a good education, persistence and perseverance．”

    　　At each stop, the two pilots talked with students about their trip．They also visited schools all over the United States to tell about their adventures．

    　　“We’ve wanted to fly since we could remember,” they said．“We started flying before we were driving．”

    C．

    D．

    could be followed through Internet and affect many people

    (2)

    The plane was a small one with 2 engines, but ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    it drew many young people’s attention and carried them around

    B．

    it could land in many unusual places

    C．

    they intended to accept challenges no matter what they were

    D．

    they had the hope to show themselves off and gain fame and reward

    (4)

    According to the story, Chris and Dan’s success suggests that ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    wide interests can make you famous and successful as well

         What exactly are white lions?"They are a color variation of regular lions,"says William
    Swanson,director of animal research at the Cincinnati Zoo,in Ohio.
         White lions are the result of a rare color gene mutation(变异)．When both a male and
    a female lion carry the same white genes,there is a good chance that one or more of their
    cubs(幼兽)will be born with white fur.
         Not many lions carry the white mutation.In nature,it's rare.A mutation can make an
    animal's survival more difficult.For example,being white makes it harder for the animal to
    mix with its surroundings.Mutations also can cause physical problems,so those animals
    generally do not survive long enough to reproduce.
         But sometimes white lion cubs are born among wild lions,especially in two areas of
    South Africa.
         In 1975 two white cubs were spotted in the wild in South African reserve.They were
    seized and sent to a zoo.Today about 500 cubs of those two white lions and a few others
    known to have the white color gene live around the world in zoos,circuses,farms and private
    preserves.
          White lions may be extremely rare in the wild,but breeders(饲养动物的人)know how
    to create more of them.This has created serious concern and debate.
          White lions continue to exist only because they are inbred by people-fathers and
    daughters,sisters and brothers.Scientists worry that it also will cause health issues for white
    lions.
         Inbreeding to create white lions as moneymaking attractions is only one concern.Another
    concern is that some people want to release captive－bred(人工繁殖的)white lions into
    the wild in South Africa to restore balance to the ecosystem.However,not everyone agrees
    that releasing these white lions into the wild is a good idea.Dan York of Hillsdale College
    has been studying white lion genetics and is worried.He says that because so many of today's
    white lions are inbred,it could spread health problems.If they breed with wild lions,they'll
    pass on the genetic problems to the wild population.
         Instead of releasing captive－bred white lions,York suggests that South Africa concentrate
    on protecting all of its wild lions.That would ensure the safety of the wild population of lions,
    which may produce healthy white cubs in the future.
    1．It'sdifficultforawhiteliontosurvivebecause__________.
    a．itsfurcontrastssharplywiththesurroundings
    b．themutationmaycausephysicalproblems
    c．itislikelytobeattackedbywildlions
    d．itishuntedbyhumanbeings

    A．a,b　　　　　　　
    B．a,d
    C．a,c
    D．b,d

    2．What does the underlined word "inbred" in Paragraph 7 probably mean?
    A．kept in enclosed space and unable to run away
    B．bred in human－controlled environments with restricted settings
    C．produced by breeding among closely related members
    D．born among wild lions and kept in the zoo
    3．One of the reasons for inbreeding white lions is that __________.
    A．they can bring people a profit
    B．their fur can be of great use
    C．people want to keep white lions as pets
    D．people want to study the genes of white lions
    4．Which of the following agrees with Dan York's opinion?
    A．It's useless studying white lion genetics.
    B．White lion cubs born among wild lions are more healthy than captive－bred ones.
    C．White lions shouldn't be kept in zoos or circuses.
    D．The ecosystem in South Africa is being seriously damaged.
    5．It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
    A．white lions are seldom seen in the wild
    B．color gene mutation is common among lions
    C．South Africa is taking strict measures to protect its wild lions
    D．white lions will disappear from the earth soon
