My arms shook. The bow was almost as tall as I was, and it was equipped with an arrow, ready to be shot. Never had a more ill-suited person handled a weapon. But my editor had sent me on a mission: to find my inner Katniss Ever deen at one of Beijing's indoor archery clubs.

The brilliant archer Everdeen is the lead character in The Hunger Games movies, the final of which was just released in cinemas. Her arrows can hit almost anything: sword-swinging enemies, fierce animals, even aircraft some- how. Me? I can't throw a paper ball into a trashcan with any precision. And I was warned that archery would require a great deal of upper body strength, though I hadn’t seen the inside of a gym in years.

News outlets like the New York Times and NPR have reported an increase of interest in archery, thanks to movies like The Hunger Games, Brave and The Avengers. Archery clubs have showed up in many major cities. In Jian Club, an archery-themed bar, we paid 120 yuan for an hour’s worth of target practice and prepared our bows and arrows.

We were told to stand sideways, with one shoulder facing the bull’s eye. Your weaker arm would hold the bow, while the other would pull the bowstring back until the arrow was right next to your face. Then it was meters away.

Well, sort of. Instead of sending the arrows whistling through the air, my first few simply dropped onto the ground.

The failure was a good reminder that archery is a demanding, Olympic-level sport. It worked muscles in my back and arms that I just didn’t have yet. An hour came and went, and I found myself leaving with a couple pierced (刺穿的)bull’s eyes and sore shoulders. Was I ready to shoot down aircraft with a swift arrow? Not quite. But I was definitely ready for a return trip.

1.Why did the author visit an archery club?

A. Because of working as a photographer.

B. Because of being a fan of The Hunger Games.

C. Because of being given a task by the editor.

D. Because of wanting to try a new exercise form.

2.What best describes the author's trip to the archery club?

A. Boring.　　 B. Fascinating.

C. Fruitless.　　 D. Risky.

3.What can we learn about archery?

A. It is not an Olympic event.　　 B. It is a sport practiced single-handed.

C. It takes little effort to be good at it.　　 D. It has gained more popularity recently.

4.What’s the purpose of the text?

A. To record an unforgettable experience.　　 B. To discuss several hot films.

C. To instruct readers to practice archery.　　 D. To introduce a gym in Beijing.

With its tall buildings and crowded streets, Hong Kong is one of the last places you would expect to find a wild animal. But green sea turtles have become regular visitors to beaches found in more peaceful parts of the metropolis.

Over the last month, people living in Hong Kong and Hainan Province have been lucky enough to see the giant turtles lay their eggs on the beaches at night. Male turtles spend their entire lives in the sea. But every two to six years, the females swim thousands of miles from their feeding grounds to lay eggs in their own birthplaces

Unluckily, few of the baby turtles survive with only one in 1,000 living into adulthood. If they manage to grow big, which takes 20 to 30 years, they can live for more than a century.

Man is the main reason why turtles are dying out. The creatures’ habitats are destroyed by fishing and pollution, while the turtles themselves are killed for food and leather.

“Sea turtle eggs and meat saved us during Japan's occupation of Hong Kong in World War II,”

said 65-year-old resident Chan Kam-wan. But the days of eating turtle eggs have long since passed. Hong Kong banned the eating and sale of them in 1976, hoping to help save the endangered creatures.

In recent years, the government has closed beaches between June and October so the turtles can lay eggs in peace. Scientists also try and keep a count of the number of turtles, even following them using satellites. Through tracking the turtles, they hope to learn new ways of protecting them.

Officials in Hong Kong have recently finished a study on sea life in the area. They are considering setting up a sea park to protect the sea turtles from water pollution and illegal fishing.

1.We can learn from the passage EXCEPT_________.

A. Most of the baby turtles die before growing up

B. It is difficult to find wild animals in Hong Kong

C. Turtles can live for more than one hundred years

D. You can find some male turtles on the beaches if lucky enough

2.A large number of turtles were killed for food by Hong Kong residents in

A. 1976　　 B. 1978

C. 1944　　 D. 1898

3.What can we conclude from the passage?

A. The Problems that the turtles were facing have been settled.

B. The government has built walls on the beaches to protect turtles.

C. The government will plant many trees on the beaches to set up a park.

D. The government is using some advanced equipment to protect turtles

4.Where may you read this passage?

A. In a novel.　　 B. In a tour guidance.

C. In a newspaper.　　 D. In a history book

Silence is unnatural to man. He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness. In between be does all he can to make a noise in the world, and be fears silence more than anything else. Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence. If he is introduced to another person, and is number of pauses occur in the conversation, he regards him- self as a failure ,a worthless person, and is full of envy of the emptiest- headed chatterbox（喋喋不休的人）.He knows that ninety nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly, but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure（蜡塑人像）.

The aim of conversation is not. For the most part, to communicate ideas; it is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz; there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito(蚊子).But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person. Most buzzing, fortunately, is pleasant to the ear, and some of it is pleasant even to the mind. He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors.

Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new. Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people’s ears, though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel. At the end of an evening, during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time. They just prove themselves to be successful conservationists.

1.According to the author, people make conversation to________.

A. exchange ideas

B. prove their value

C. achieve success in life

D. overcome their fear of silence

2.By “the buzzing of a fly”(Para.1),the author means “________”.

A. the noise of an insect

B. a low whispering sound

C. meaningless talks

D. the voice of a chatterbox

3.According to the passage, people usually talk to their neighbors________.

A. about whatever they have prepared

B. about whatever they want do

C. in the hope of learning something new

D. in the hope of getting on well

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A. To discuss why people like talking about weather.

B. To encourage people to join in conversations.

C. To persuade people to stop making noises.

D. To explain why people keep talking.
