An old friend from California called from the airport to tell me that he had arrived. I was not able to leave the office, but I had made plans for his arrival. After explaining (解释) where my new house was, I told him that I had left the key under the doormat (门垫). Since I knew it would be pretty late before I could get home, I suggested that he make himself at home and help himself to anything that was in the refrigerator(电冰箱).
Two hours later my friend phoned me from the house. At the moment, he said, he was listening to some of my records after having had a delicious meal. Now, he said, he was drinking a glass of orange juice. When I asked him if he had had any difficulty finding the house, he answered that the only problem was that he had not been able to find the key under the doormat, but luckily, the living room window by the apple tree had been left open and he had climbed in through the window. I listened to all this in great surprise. There is no apple tree outside my window, but there is one by the living room window of my next door neighbor's house!

One night in March 1999, a man was driving from California to Oregon, US, to visit some friends. He had stopped his car to have some food when he started to hear strange noises. Turning on the headlights, he saw an 8-foot-tall creature covered in thick, dark hair. The creature stared at him for a minute, turned in the road and walked off slowly into the woods.
In the past 50 years alone, there have been thousands of reported sightings of similar creatures in the US, Canada, the Himalayas(喜马拉雅山地区)and even Hubei Province in China. The creature is known as bigfoot.
Bigfoot is said to be a very tall(between 2 and 4. 5 metres), ape-like(类人猿似的)creature that is covered in hair and walks upright on two legs. It is very wary(警惕的)of human beings.
Believers think bigfoot is a direct descendent(后代)of ancient gigantopithecus(巨猿). But it remains one of the planet’s undiscovered secrets. There is a little evidence(证据)to support the believers’ theory: traces of hair, footprints and body prints as well as the reported sightings. Some people have even showed what they say with photos or films of bigfoot.
But so far, no one has found bones or any other definite proof that the giant creature exists.
As a result many people believe the evidence is just part of a big trick.
The footprints are easy to make and they say: all you need to do is to make two large feet out of plaster(石膏), attach them to the bottom of your shoes and walk with big steps. As for the photos and films, they are just people dressed in ape suits.
They also say the sightings are not real, just people making mistakes. For example, bigfoot could be a bear living in the wild that sometimes stands up on its back legs.
1.So far what we can be sure about is that_______.
A. there exist savages(野人)in several places in the world
B. there are some traces of hair, footprints and body prints of the “bigfoot”
C. bigfoot is a direct descendent of ancient gigantopithecus
D. all the big foot discovered have the same look
2.It was in______ that man first found the ape-like creature.
A. 1999
B. the 1960’s
C. the 1950’s
D. the 1940’s
3.We can infer from the article that some people _______bigfoot’s existence.
A. may fool the world into believing
B. have definite evidences to prove
C. refuse to believe
D. will soon offer proofs of
4.If bigfoot is just a misunderstanding, what they saw might NOT be________.
A. apes
B. bears
C. gigantopithecus
D. people dressed in animal skins

高一英语完形填空困难题查看答案及解析
A 33-year-old financial analyst in California recently quit his job to devote himself to an unpaid job teaching math on the Internet, and his lessons are reaching almost 100,000 people a month. Salman Khan’s voice is heard every day on the net — by tens of thousands of students around the world who are hungry for help learning math. He has posted 1,200 lessons on You Tube —lessons that appear on an electronic blackboard, which range from basic addition to advanced mathematics for science and finance. And they are free.
Khan lives in Silicon Valley, with his wife, a doctor, and their new baby. He got the idea for his “Khan Academy” four years ago, when he taught a young cousin how to convert kilograms to grams. With Khan’s help, the cousin got good at math, and Khan began a new career.
Now, Khan records his lessons himself, but he never goes on camera. “It feels like my voice in their head. You’re looking at it and it feels like someone’s over your shoulder talking in your ear, as opposed to someone at the blackboard, which is distant from you,” he said.
When Springfield High School in Palo Alto, California invited Khan to speak in person—he immediately connected to the students there.
The idea of short lessons that can be played over and over again attracted high school senior Bridget Meaney. She says she had trouble with math in the seventh grade. “I think the teachers are good, but they can’t teach at a speed that’s perfect for everyone,” she said. “I like the idea of learning something in class but then going back and pressing pause or rewind and actually getting a deeper understanding of it.”
Originally, Khan kept his lessons short because of YouTube restrictions. Now, he thinks short is better. “Education researchers now tell me that 10 minutes is how long someone can have a high level of concentration. And anything beyond that and your brain switches off,” he said.
For Khan, teaching math, science, and finance is just the beginning. He says he’s ready to expand his YouTube site to include other subjects as well.
1.What gave Khan the idea of teaching math online?
A.His success in helping his cousin learn math.
B.His discovery that many students found learning math difficult.
C.A suggestion made to him at a local high school.
D.His interest in Internet teaching.
2.Why does Khan never go on camera?
A.He’s too shy to show his face on camera.
B.It’s restricted by YouTube for education videos.
C.He wants to keep distance from the viewers.
D.He wants to create a more relaxed learning atmosphere.
3.From the passage, we know that ________.
A.Khan travels to many schools to promote his lessons
B.Khan plans to include more subjects in the future
C.Khan gives live math lessons every day for free
D.Khan set up the Khan Academy with his wife
4.Why does Bridget Meaney like Khan’s lessons?
A.Khan teaches seventh grade math better than her teacher.
B.The lessons can be watched repeatedly until fully understood.
C.She can perfectly follow the pace of Khan’s teaching.
D.She cannot concentrate when learning in class.
5.What does Khan mean by “short is better” in the 6th paragraph?
A.Keeping the lessons short can ensure better concentration.
B.YouTube recommends short lessons for its site.
C.Short lessons encourage students to return to the website.
D.Students enjoy short mathematics lessons more.
