A German company was concerned about talks in Moscow trying to sell some 100 million dollars worth of equipment to a Russian State company. Talks went smoothly but differences remained. So Martin Bayer himself, the CEO of the German Company, decided to come to Moscow to head the talks. Besides caring about his business, the CEO wanted to go to Russia to hunt bears.
Martin Bayer was one of the greatest hunters of our time (and the Russians knew about it). He went to the Sahara more than hundred times and hunted lions, crocodiles; he hunted polar bears in the North Pole and tigers in the rain forests of India. But he had never hunted Russian bears.
So the Russians decided to organize a bear hunt for Mr. Bayer to sweeten the talks. This wasn't a simple task. Some people in the west still believe that bears may be found and seen everywhere in Russian cities just like squirrels may be seen in our back yards. This is not true. The closest place one may find bears in the wild is maybe 2,500 miles away from Moscow. However, a solution was quickly found. The Russian businessmen went to Moscow Circus(马戏团)and for $2,000 bought a very old bear. This bear used to amuse and amaze audiences in many countries for 30 years, but got and looked too old, and was retired.
“Be careful, the Russian bears are very dangerous, and frightening,” they told to Mr. Bayer. “If compared to the Russian bears, your African lions are nothing more than harmless cats.” The bear was brought to a forest 50 miles from Moscow and was left there. Mr. Bayer was told that bears were plentiful in that forest and that many cattle and even people had been eaten in the surrounding villages.
Meanwhile, an 18-year old female drove through the forest on a motorcycle and suddenly saw a bear (no bears had been seen in those places for 200 years). She was frightened, fell, left her helmet and her motorcycle and ran away.
Mr. Bayer was excited and ready to hunt. This could become the most successful part of his extraordinary hunting experience. The next moment Mr. Bayer saw a bear in a helmet driving on a motorcycle through the forest in front of him. The bear had a happy expression on his face, as he was doing something he had been doing in the circus for 30 years: circling on a motorcycle!
Mr. Bayer lives in a private mental institution near Hamburg happily ever after. The equipment was never sold to Russia. It was sold to Iraq instead.
1. Why did the Russians invite Mr. Bayer to hunt bears?
A. Russian bears are famous for their cruelty.
B. They managed to find a bear for hunting.
C. They expected the trade to be successful.
D. There was a bear in Moscow Circus.
2. Why did the Russians say “Be careful, the Russian bears are very dangerous, and frightening”?
A. To tell Mr. Bayer that many people had been killed by bears.
B. To make Mr. Bayer feel the hunting really challenging.
C. To warn Mr. Bayer to mind his safety while hunting.
D. To tell Mr. Bayer that the bear is really dangerous.
3. We can infer from the last paragraph that __________.
A. Mr. Bayer has gone ma   
B. the bear injured him badly
C. he has worked in a mental institution since then
D. the trade has gone smoothly between Russian and Iraq
4. Which would be the best title of the passage?
A. Mr. Bayer, a Brave Hunter     B. Russian Bears, Dangerous Animals
C. Don’t Hunt in Russia       D. Don’t Deal with the Russians

科目:高中英语 来源: 题型:阅读理解

 A lookalike(相像者) of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un(金正恩) has been shocking people in Hong Kong. The 34-year-old impersonator(假扮者), known as Howard, certainly turned heads when he paraded down the city’s streets, drawing a crowd of passers-by trying to get a photo, but not everyone was fooled by the costume.

“I was surprised and I thought hey, I have seen anywhere before, but that was on German TV, and so I recognized him as a dual. I couldn’t believe that he’s the true one.”

Howard says he transformed himself into the North Korean leader earlier this year after his friends joked about the resemblance(相像).

“When he came to power, when he was the president of North Korea, then I got a lot of comments that I look like the guy and then you know, we joked back and forth, yeah, maybe I should get dressed up and do some concerts with it. After all, I’m a musician so you know, it’s about the performance.”

Within weeks Howard was in great demand, being flown across the world to film TV commercials and make special appearances, and he hopes the work keeps coming.

“Well, I’m set up for life. What can I say? I mean, Reggie Brown, all these Obama impersonators, they got eight years! I’ve got a lifetime, unless he gets killed, that is. Which could happen, you never know. I’ve heard Kim Jong-nam(金正南) is working something up.”

But if you want the Kim Jong-un lookalike at your party, it will set you back a pretty penny. He now charges the equivalent of 700 US dollars for an appearance.

68. Which of the following statements is true?

A. Howard is a North Korean.    B. Howard is a German.

C. Howard is a South Korean.    D. Howard might be an American.

69. According to the passage,____.

A. all the passers-by think he is Kim Jong-un.   

B. you can invite him to your party free.

C. he might be an impersonator longer than those American president ones

D. he himself is a leader

70. Howard is welcome because he ____.

A. looks like Kim Jong-un       B. is a successful musician

C. is a millionaire              D. works for Kim Jong-un

71. We know from the passage that ____.

A. his friends persuaded him to act Kim Jong-un  

B. now he is glad that he has the appearance

C. Kim Jong-nam will take the place of Kim Jong-un 

D. he will meet with Obama
