Seal Island is a 200-meter-long island in South Africa, which is surrounded by 55 to 57 degrees Fahrenheit waters and covered with over 60,000 seals and some birds. This island has been home to many birds and seals. You may think this island is a paradise. In fact, the island is not famous for the seals or birds. However, the real stars are the great white sharks that leap out of the water to catch the seals they are hunting.You may think that there is no way for a 15-foot long, 3,000-pound shark to hurl its body out of the water and catch a seal in midair. Actually, these sharks are called “Air Jaws”.Over the years, the seals have gotten smarter. Now, they go out in groups of seven and eight to feed. They swim down on the sea floor, which gives them extra camouflage (掩饰). When they have to swim near the water surface, they swim in a zigzag (之字形的) pattern. But with all these tricks, they can still be outwitted (以智取胜) by the sharks. Usually, the sharks will take one seal away from its group and force it to swim on the surface, where it is easy to hunt. Sometimes, the seal is lucky and gets away, but most of them die in the process of trying to survive.Every year, tourists go to see these amazing animals leap out of the water, sometimes flinging (抛) their whole bodies into the air when they want to catch the seals. Some people even want to go into shark cages to see the action from below! This is the reason why this island attracts thousands of tourists around the world every year.1. What probably makes Seal Island famous?A．The large number of seals in the water.B．The way the great white sharks hunt.C．The beautiful scenery of the island.D．The special position of the island.2. Why do the seals swim in a zigzag pattern?A．To save energy.B．To warm themselves.C．To look for food.D．To avoid the white sharks.3. What can we infer from the third paragraph?A．White sharks are dangerous animals.B．The seals are cleverer than the white sharks.C．The sharks are successful in hunting the seals.D．It is easier for the sharks to hunt the seals on the sea floor.4. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A．To explain why Seal Island is famous.B．To show how white sharks hunt seals.C．To advise us to visit Seal Island.D．To ask us to protect animals.8. Do you enjoy eating ketchup on your fries? If so, you must like the essential ingredient in the sauces, tomatoes. The tomato originally comes from South America and has been eaten by people there for thousands of years. Today, tomatoes are popular all over the world. However, when they were first introduced, there was quite a bit of controversy and apprehension surrounding them.Tomatoes were first planted by the Aztecs (阿兹特克人) in Central America. In fact, ancient Aztec writings mention recipes for dishes of tomatoes. Spanish soldiers conquered the Aztecs and brought tomato seeds back with them to Europe. In Europe, these yellowish tomatoes were first called “apples of gold “. For a long time, people in Northern Europe and North America did not eat these “apples of gold”. The tomato plant looked similar to the nightshade plant, a deadly poison, so they were afraid to eat them. German people even thought that if someone ate tomatoes, he or she would change into a werewolf(狼人). But finally, by the mid-1800s people all over the world had accepted the tomato.However, the tomato was due for more controversy. Do you think the tomato is a fruit or vegetable? Actually the tomato is a fruit. But in America, the tomato is a vegetable by law. Why is the tomato legally a vegetable in America? In the 1800s, there was no import tax in fruit from other countries. At that time, many tomatoes were coming from other countries into America, and American tomatoes farmers became worried about making a living. The government made the tomato a vegetable by law so that non-American tomatoes would be taxed.Actually, it is easy to tell that the tomatoes is really a fruit. Cut into a tomato and look inside. You can see many seeds in the center, which is one sign of a fruit. In fact, tomatoes are similar to strawberries. Both have seeds inside, and both grow from the flowers of a plant. And both have delicious flesh surrounding the seeds. Tomatoes and strawberries are actually in the same family.1. What is the main idea of this reading?A．How our ideas about tomatoes have changedB．How to grow tomatoesC．The history of tomatoes planting.D．The history of famous tomato dishes.2. What is NOT a reason why people didn’t eat tomatoes at first?A．They thought tomatoes could change them into monsters.B．They though tomatoes were similar to a deadly plant.C．They thought tomatoes cost too much to grow.D．They thought tomatoes were poisonous.3. What does the US government say tomatoes are?A．Both a fruit and a vegetable. B．A kind of vegetable.C．A kind of fruit. D．Neither a fruit nor a vegetable.4. How are tomatoes like strawberries?A．Tomatoes do not grow very bug.B．The inside parts are similar.C．They grow on tree.D．Summer is the best time to pick them.9. On a hill 600 feet above the surrounding land, we watch the lines of rain move across the scene, the moon rise over the hills, and the stars appear in the sky. The views invite a long look from a comfortable chair in front of the wooden house. Every window in our wooden house has a view, and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the hour before. Each look reminds us where we are.There is space for our three boys to play outside, to shoot arrows, collect tree seeds, build earth houses and climb trees.Our kids have learned the names of the trees, and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation. As they tell all who show even a passing interest, the maples make the best fighting sticks and white pines are the best climbing trees. The air is clean and fresh. The water from the well has a pleasant taste, and it is perhaps the healthiest water our kids will ever drink. Though they have one glass of juice a day and the rest are water, they never say anything against that.The seasons change just outside the door. We watch the maples turn every shade of yellow and red in the fall and note the poplars’ (杨树) putting out the first green leaves of spring. The rainbow smelt fills the local stream as the ice graduallydisappears, and the wood frogs start to sing in pools after being frozen for the winter. A family of birds rules our skies and flies over the lake.1. What can be learned from Paragraph 2?A．The scenes are colourful and changeable.B．There are many windows in the wooden house.C．The views remind us that we are in a wooden house.D．The lakes outside the windows are quite different in colour.2. By mentioning the names of the trees, the author aims to show that ________ . A．the kids like playing in trees B．the kids are very familiar with treesC．the kids have learned much knowledge D．the kids find trees useful learning tools3. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A．The change of seasons is easilyfelt.B．The seasons make the scenes change.C．The weather often changes in the forest. D．The door is a good position to enjoy changing seasons.五、七选五(阅读理解)文章大意：本文是一篇议论文。

Therefore, we must make every effort to fight together with those who fight Hitler and his supporters. We must unite all our friends and allies in every part of the world to fight Hitler.Hitler's invasion of Russia is merely a prelude to an invasion of Great Britain, which will lead to his total control over the Western Hemisphere.

高级英语第一册第九课翻译与练习答案

第九课马克•吐温——美国的一面镜子(节选)诺埃尔•格罗夫在大多数美国人的心目中，马克•吐温是位伟大作家，他描写了哈克•费恩永恒的童年时代中充满诗情画意的旅程和汤姆•索亚在漫长的夏日里自由自在历险探奇的故事。

的确，这位美国最受人喜爱的作家的探索精神、爱国热情、浪漫气质及幽默笔调都达到了登峰造极的程度。

但我发现还有另一个不同的马克•吐温——一个由于深受人生悲剧的打击而变得愤世嫉俗、尖酸刻薄的马克•吐温，一个为人类品质上的弱点而忧心忡忡、明显地看到前途是一片黑暗的人。

印刷工、领航员、邦联游击队员、淘金者、耽于幻想的乐天派、语言尖刻的讽刺家：马克•吐温原名塞缪尔•朗赫恩•克莱门斯，他一生之中有超过三分之一的时间浪迹美国各地，体验着美国的新生活，尔后便以作家和演说家的身分将他所感受到的这一切介绍给全世界。

他的笔名取自他在蒸汽船上做工时听到的报告水深为两口寻(12英尺)——意即可以通航的信号语。

他的作品中有二十几部至今仍在印行，其外文译本仍在世界各地拥有读者，由此可见他的享誉程度。

在马克•吐温青年时代，美国的地理中心是密西西比河流域，而密西西比河是这个年轻国家中部的交通大动脉。

龙骨船、平底船和大木筏载运着最重要的商品。

木材、玉米、烟草、小麦和皮货通过这些运载工具顺流而下，运送到河口三角洲地区，而砂糖、糖浆、棉花和威士忌酒等货物则被运送到北方。

在19世纪50年代，西部领土开发高潮到来之前，辽阔的密西西比河流域占美国已开发领土的四分之三。

1857年，少年马克•吐温作为蒸汽船上的一名小领航员踏人了这片天地。

在这个新的工作岗位上，他接触到的是各式各样的人物，看到的是一个多姿多彩的大干世界。

他完全地投身到这种生活之中，经常在操舵室里听着人们谈论民间争斗、海盗抢劫、私刑案件、游医卖药以及河边的一些化外民居的故事。

所有这一切，连同他那像留声机般准确可靠的记忆所吸收的丰富多彩的语言，后来都有机会在他的作品中得以再现。

蒸汽船的甲板上不仅挤满了富有开拓精神的人们，而且也载着一些娼妓、赌棍和歹徒等社会渣滓。
