Somali pirates(海盗) robbed three Thai fishing ships with 77 sailors on board nearly l，200 Miles off the Somali coast，the farthest-off-shore attack to date，an officer said Tuesday.

Pirates have gone farther south and east in answer to increased patrols(巡逻)by warships off the Somali shore. The robbing of the three ships Sunday was about 600 miles outside the normal operation area for the international force，said a spokesman．

The spokesman said the attack so far out at sea was a clear sign that the international patrols against pirates were having a “marked effect on pirate activity in the area”．

“Once they start attacking that far out，you’re not even really talking about the Somali basin or areas of water that have any connection with Somalia,” said an officer，Roger Middleton．“Once you’re that far out，it's just the Indian Ocean，and it means you’re looking at trade going from the Gulf to Asia，from Asia to South Africa.”

"This is the farthest robbing to date．They are now operating near the Maldives and India,”said another officer．

The three ships--the MV Prantalay l l，12，and l 4—had 77 members on board in total．All of them are Thai, the spokesman said．Before the Sunday robbing，pirates held l l ships and 228 sailors．

Pirates have increased attacks over the past year in hopes。f catching more dollar payments. Because of increased patrols and defenses on board ships，the success rate(率)has gone down，though the number of successful attacks has stayed the same year over year.

1.The pirate attack reported in the text happened____________．

A．far out in the Indian Ocean

B．in the normal patrol area

C．near the Somali, coast

D．in the south of Africa

2．According to the text, which can best describe the situation of the pirate problems?

A．More goods on board are lost.

B．Pirate attacks happen in a larger area now.

C．The number of attacks has stayed the same these years.

D．Pirate attacks are as serious as before along the Somali coast.

3．Which is true about the warship patrols according to the text?

C．More patrols are quite necessary even in Asia.

D．The patrols only drive the pirates to other areas.

高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

Since the pre-historic times, man has had an urge to satisfy his needs. Be it hunger, shelter or search for a mate, he has always controlled the situations to his advantage. Probably this might be the reason why we humans are the most developed of all living species on the earth. As we climbed the steps of development, we somehow left behind common sense and logical thinking -- we forgot that we have stopped thinking ahead of time.

If you are hungry, what do you do? Get a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet. Just like your stomach, even your mind is hungry. But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover, favorite star and many such things. So it silently began to care about your needs and never let itself grow. When mind looses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think "What happens next?", "Why can't I think?" "Why am I always given the difficult problems?" Well, this is the result of using our brain for thinking of not-so-worthy things.

Hunger of the mind can be actually satisfied through reading. Now why reading and not watching TV? Because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from the childhood. Just like that to develop other aspects of our life, we have to turn to reading. You have innumerable number of books in this world which will answer all your "How to?" questions. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed. Now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas. The same seed, if used many times, can help you link and relate a lot of things, of which you would have never thought in your wildest dreams! This is nothing but creativity. More the number of books you read, your mind will open up like never before.

1.What is the function of the first paragraph?

A．To show humans are the most developed.

B．To introduce the topic of the passage.

C．To indicate people have different needs to satisfy.

D．To explain why people need to read.

2.What does the author mean by saying "When mind looses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop."

A．When mind keeps growing, creativity fully stops.

B．When freedom is lost, creativity gets a full stop.

C．When mind stops growing, creativity fully stops.

D．When growing is lost, creativity gets a flail stop.

3.The paragraph following the passage is probably about ______.

A．how the pre-historic man feeds his mind

B．what other advantages reading brings

C．how to develop creativity

D．how to satisfy your mind by watching TV

4. The author tends to tell us ______.

A．reading can satisfy your all needs           B．reading can result from creativity

C．reading can feed your mind               D．reading can realize your dreams

A sea of decisions stretches before us and have a larger impact on our lives. We’re attacked with so many decisions that it’s impossible to make a perfect choice every time. However, there are many different ways to make it. 1.

Here’s one 4-step process that may help you solve any number of problems:

1. Formulate your question. 2. This isn’t always as straightforward as it sounds. But, if you approach the situation with a clear view of what you’re actually trying to accomplish, that’ll equip you to sift through this information critically and find what you are looking for. And you can decide whether the new fashion really suits your needs.

2. 3. There’s lots of it out there, so having a clear idea of your question will help you determine what’s relevant. Information gathering helps you weigh different options, choosing a decision that meets your goal.

3. Apply the information—something you do by asking critical questions. For example, in an email that promises you millions, you should consider: ‘What is shaping my approach to this situation?’ ‘4.’

4. Consider the implications. For the promise that seems great at first glance, try to think about the long-term effects and unintended results.

Critical thinking can offer the tools to make a perfect choice. 5. And if enough of us use it, it has the power to make the world more reasonable.

A. Gather your information.

B. Raise some valuable questions.

C. Can you help me with the decisions?

D. Do I assume the sender is telling the truth?

E. Also, it can help us find what we really need.

F. In other words, know what you’re looking for.

G. One particularly effective skill is critical thinking.

David Cameron is urging today’s youngsters to abandon French to concentrate on the tongue of the future—Mandarin(普通话)。

Cameron said: “I want Britain linked up to the world’s fast-growing economies. And that includes our young people learning the languages to seal tomorrow’s business deals.”

“By the time the children born today leave school, China is to be the world’s largest economy. So it’s time to look beyond the traditional focus on French and German and get many more children learning Mandarin.” To strengthen his message , he quoted Nelson Mandela—the former president of South Africa who said “If you talk to a man in a language he understands that goes to his head; if you talk to him in his own language that goes to his heart.”

Cameron said that a partnership between the British Council (英国文化协会) and Hanban will double the number of Chinese language assistants in the UK by 2016 and provide increased funding to schools of offering Mandarin as a language choice. In a development of the UK—China School Partnership programme , funding will also be provided for 60 headteachers to make study visits to China in 2014.

In recent research the British Council found only 1% of the adult population speaks Mandarin to a level that allows them to conduct a basic conversation. Just 3,000 pupils in England, Wales and Northern Ireland entered for Chinese languages GCSEs in 2013, putting it far behind the traditional choices of French with 177,000, Spanish with 91,000 and German with 62,000 entrants(加入者), as well as Urdu, Polish and Arabic.

Professor Dame Helen Wallace, the British Academy’s foreign secretary, said, “ a lack of qualified teachers could be a barrier to improve its popularity.”

Laura Chan, one of the co—founders of a bilingual Mandarin—English primary school, said the prime minister’s announcement was good news for the status of Mandarin. She said, “It’s a great help. It will increase people’s awareness of Mandarin as a language they can learn.”

1.What is the text mainly talking about?

A. The cooperation is important between the UK and China.

B. David Cameron has visited China for three days.

C. Chinese language is very popular with British people.

D. David Cameron calls for British students to learn Mandarin.

2.Why does David Cameron urge students to learn Chinese?

A. Because Chinese will be a widely—used language in the world.

B. Because he thinks China will become the largest economy.

C. Because there are many Chinese people living in Britain.

D. Because only a few of British people can communicate in Chinese.

3.What is the purpose of David Cameron by quoting Mandela’s words in Paragraph3?

A. To compare different ideas. B. To show his rich knowledge.

C. To persuade people to learn Mandarin. D. To share Mandela’s opinion.
