job earlier in the day.(他的球队在球 场上面临逆境，而他的比赛环境也很恶劣—对手的主 场体育馆里挤满了他们的支持者，Nathan的球队在比赛 中落后了三节。至于我，我今天早些时候被解雇了。)” 可知，Nathan的球队在比赛中落后于对手，而作者今天 早些时候被解雇了。由此可知，作者感到难过是因为他 和Nathan都正在经历一段艰难的时期。]

dreamed of going where no human had gone before.He wanted to cut a path through unexplored lands and discover rare,exotic species. That might sound like an impossible dream,but Bexler turned it into a reality. 整 In December 2015,he and a team of Australian and American scientists ventured into an isolated tropical rain forest on the island of New Guinea.They were the first people ever to enter the mist-covered region."As time was limited,we were dropped in by helicopter. Once we were on the ground,there were no trails anywhere;it was really hard to get around,”Bexler says. Within minutes of landing,the team spotted a black chicken-like bird with strange or- ange skin hanging from its neck.The scientists soon determined that the unusual creature 如 was a type of honeyeaters-the first new bird species to be sighted on New Guinea in 60 years. The honeyeater wasn't the only surprise for the scientists.They discovered more than 40 previously unknown plant and animal species-13 birds of paradise,20 frogs,four but- 5 terflies,and five palms."We were like kids in a candy store,Bexler recalls."Everywhere 1 we looked,we saw amazing things we had never seen before. 类 The newfound species didn't shy away from the scientists.Two long-nosed echidnas- primitive egg-laying mammals-let the visitors pick them up and take them back to camp to study them.An echidna looks like a hedgehog and is also called a spiny anteater. Bexler thinks the animals weren't scared because they had never seen humans before. "In almost all parts of New Guinea,animals are hunted for food,and because of this,they are very cautious of people,"he explains."This area gives scientists a place where they can go to study the behaviours of animals that have not yet learned to be afraid of people. Scientists believe the area is probably the largest untouched forest in Asia.Local peo- 斯 ple called Kwerba hunt and collect plants from the outer-edges of the forest but told Bexler that not even their ancestors had gone so far into the woods.The wooded area is approxi- 我 mately a 10-day walk from the nearest village. Bexler and his team did not have enough time during the expedition to study the area completely.They hope to return and expect to record many more undiscovered species. "We just scratched the surface,"Bexler says."Anyone who goes there will come back with a mystery.” 期 1.Which word can best describe Bruce Bexler? A.Adventurous.B.Cautious. C.Optimistic. D.Careful. 2.What does Bruce Bexler mean by saying "We were like kids in a candy store"? A.They didn't have enough food and were hungry. 函 B.They were very excited about what they saw. C.They were misbehaving like naughty children. D.They knew that if they kept searching,they'd find sugar in the forest. 3.What can we conclude about the area Bruce Bexler explored? A.The best way to explore the area is by helicopter. B.The locals live in the centre of the forest. C.The area still contains many plants and animals unknown to science. D.The locals are unwilling to allow the scientists to enter the deep woods. 英语5-1 B The HISTORY Channel series Alone drops contestants into some of the planet's most punishing environments,with a bare minimum of clothing,safety and survival gear.In their battle against the elements,contestants are forced to use their fitness,their courage and their creativity to become true survivalists. Few people choose to be thrown into such extreme situations,but those who do have usually stumbled into some immense bad luck.Just check out one of the famous real-life survival stories: Mauro Prosperi is an Italian police officer who gained worldwide fame after getting lost in the Sahara Desert in 1994.A keen athlete and long-distance runner,Mauro took part in the 1994 Marathon of the Sands in Morocco,a six-day-long endurance race in one of the driest and barren environments on the planet. During the race,a sandstorm caused Prosperi,then 39 years old,married and father to three children,to become disoriented.One day after going off track,he found himself in an abandoned Muslim temple in Algeria.In order to survive,he killed and ate bats.For liquid,he was forced to drink his own waste,lick dew off of rocks and suck moisture out of his wet wipes. Assuming he would never be found,he cut his wrists with a pen knife from his sup- plies.However,it was such a dry heat that the wounds thickened and concreted,and he was forced to go back into the desert and attempt to find help. For nine days he walked through the desert and ate insects and cold-blooded animals. Finally,he found a small village.From there he was flown to a hospital,where doctors said his liver had almost completely failed. Having traveled 180 miles in all,Prosperi lost 35 pounds in body weight during his se- vere suffering in the desert;it took several months before he could eat solid food again.

D.To remind readers of the value of essential survival skills and preparedness. C As I watched my son Nathan play basketball for his high school team,I was starting to feel sorry for myself and for him.His team was facing adversity on the court and he was playing in a hostile environment-it was the opponents'home gym filled with their support- ers,and Nathan's team was trailing()for three quarters()of the game.As for me, I had been fired from my job earlier in the day. 英语5-2 During my drive home,I kept telling myself that I would find work again in a short time-I am confident in my experience and abilities.This is the same belief as I always try to teach my son. The basketball game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan's team still trailing.I saw the determination on his face,as well as his teammates'faces as they fought back to not only tie with the other team,but then go ahead by three points.Then,a player from the other team made an unbelievable shot to tie the score again.With the game in a tie and few seconds on the clock,Nathan found himself with the ball.With skill and confidence,he proceeded to make a basket with a defender hanging his hands all over him.The defender was warned for a foul(犯规). As Nathan stood at the free-throw line preparing for a shot that would make his team one point ahead,I saw the determination on his face again.There was no room for self- doubt.Nathan was able to tune out all the distractions and nail the free throw with such skill.It was as if he had done it a thousand times. As I sat there,my heart bursting with pride.It dawned on me that I had taught him perseverance in the face of adversity,and he had just taught me the same lesson.That brief moment of self-doubt and feeling sorry for myself was blown away by the actions of my son on the basketball court.He would play in the finals,but it didn't matter if he would win or lose.At this moment,we both won. 8.Why did the author feel sorry?

Obstacles whether you like them or not are unavoidable.Life will never stop throwing you new obstacles.So,the best thing to do is know how to better see and deal with these obstacles,and transform them into opportunities for self-improvement.The more you're able to see obstacles as being an advantage to your life,the better you'll be at managing them.
