     One day in January, my uncle, my cousin and I decided to go hunting. We left by car in the afternoon. It
was a Range Rover with four-wheel drive. It took us three hours to get there. After we arrived at 5:15 p. m.,
we fixed the tent, then made coffee and had a short rest. After that, we went hunting, using a falcon (獵鷹).
We spent two hours without finding anything. On our way back to the camp, my cousin saw a rabbit. I
removed the falcon's head cover and let go of the aggressive falcon. When the rabbit saw the falcon, it ran
fast, but my falcon was a professional hunter. He flew up and came down to trick the rabbit. After two
minutes, the rabbit was caught. We took it back to the camp to cook our dinner. We ate the delicious food,
drank Arabic coffee, and sat around the fire talking until 10:30 p.m.
     We left the camp the next day at 7 o'clock in the morning. We went north. However, around 10:00 a.m.
our car got stuck in the sand! We spent about three hours trying to pull out the ear without any progress.
Finally, we decided to walk. As it was hard for an old man or a young boy to walk more than 40km in the
desert, I decided to get help myself. I took a bottle of water with me and started to walk south alone. I knew
the way well, but it was a long way in the sand. I walked more than four hours without stopping.
     When I felt so tired and thirsty, I stopped to rest. I drank all the water and slept for around two hours.
When I got up, it was dark. I continued to walk south. I was worried about my uncle and cousin. Suddenly,
I met a Bedouin man who was riding his camel. He took me to his house. When I had had enough rest, I
asked him to take me to the road where I found a car, It took me to the city to get help. I had one day to get
back to my uncle and cousin. When I got back to them, they were so happy because I had gotten help and
they were able to see me again.
1. Which word can best describe the first evening of their hunting trip?

A. He was picked up by a car.
B. A camel took him to the road.
C. A passer-by Bedouin helped him.

閱讀理解。
     On a rainy day, you will see many streams of muddy (多泥的) water running down the slopes (山坡) of
a hill. The water is muddy because it washes away soil from the hill slopes.
      Sometimes soil is blown away by strong winds. When the soil is carried away by water or wind, we say
that the land is eroded (侵蝕). This is known as soil erosion.
      Plants cannot grow on eroded land. There is not enough soil on eroded land to give them the things they
need. Plants need water and salts from the soil. 
      We can do a number of things to stop soil erosion. This is called soil conservation (保護).
      One way of soil conservation on flat, open ground is to grow small plants such as grasses. Their roots
hold the soil tightly together. Another way is to plant trees around an open field. Thus soil erosion by strong
winds cannot take place. Rows of trees act as a very big wall.
      Soil erosion on slopes can be stopped by cutting "steps" called terraces (梯田). Water carrying soil cannot
run straight down the slope now. It has to run down the terraces. This slows down the flow of the water.
Most of the soil in the water is left behind on the terraces.
      There are some other ways of soil conservation.
1. On a rainy day the water running down the slopes of a hill is muddy because _____.
[     ]
A. there is no terrace on the slopes
B. there is no small plant on the slopes
C. it washes away soil from the slopes
D. there is too much soil on the slopes
2. Plants cannot grow on eroded land because _____.
[     ]
A. there is a lot of sand
B. there is not enough water and salts
C. there is no water
D. the land is too hard
3. One way of soil conservation on flat, open ground is _____.
[     ]
A. to grow small plants such as grasses
B. to plant trees around an open field
C. to add fertilizer to the soil
D. A and B
4. From the passage we learn that there are _____ ways to reserve soil.
[     ]
A. only three
B. two
C. more than three
D. six
