Question

                                      A

                                        ★★★★☆

    We stood silently under the stars,just metres from our tent,hardly daring to breathe. Not far away stood four (黑斑玲) .Did they know, as we did,that a  leopala(豹子) lay under a bush?

    She jumped. Four shadowy shapes jumped into the woods. Had the leopard made a successful kill? The whole scene had taken place too quickly,and in not enough light,for any of US to be sure. In fact,we had been on our way from the tent to the suppertime campfire. Half an hour later we had a tale to outdo most told around the fire. “This has got to be the best nightlife in the world,answered my boy Toby,whe]tr some middle-aged tourists asked him how he was enjoying his holiday.

     So much for the lies of experts who doubted that safaris(游猎) would be workable for teenagers. True,this is a difficult age,with teens beginning to sense that they are too old for family holidays. But our kids didn't want to return to the kind of “teen clubs”. So,my wife and I thought,if we were going to have one really good family holiday,why not Africa?

Our holiday began with a flight to Aruslm airport,then a long drive south. We chose to stay at Mdonya Old River Camp because this is one that avoids soft beds and towels,etc; these,to my mind can prevent US from connecting with nature. Instead,the five of US shared a simple tent at the edge of a dried-up sand river.

     If there was one disappointment about the wildlife viewing in Tanzania,it was that game drives are not allowed in any of anthere  country  national parks after dark. But if anything,this made our night-time meeting with the leopard and impala outside our tent even more special.

     Our final trip was over to Zanzibar where we sailed out to a sandbank and watched a beautiful sunset. And we concluded(得出结论) that if there  is one family holiday that will attract teens,it is a safari.

1. C 2. B 3. A 4. B 5.C

1. C. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的 we had a tale to outdo most told around the fire 和孩子说的 This has got to be the best nightlife in the world

可知，在营火旁边，作者一 家所享受的他们之前遇到豹子的经历比别的露营者所讲的故事更精彩。他们很自豪有这样的经历。

2. B. 推理判断题。根据第三段中的 our kids didn't want to return to the kind of “teen clubs”可知，作者和妻子想有一个不同寻常的家庭旅行，因此选择了非洲狩猎旅行。

3. A. 细节理解题。根据第四段中的 We chose to stay at Mdonya Old River Camp because this is one that avoids soft beds and towels,etc; these,to my mind can prevent US from connecting with nature fo the five of US shared a simple tent可知2住者选择Mdonya Old River Camp是因为这个营地只有 很基础的设施。

4. B 题。根据前一句中的it was that game drives are not allowed in any of the country's national parks after dark可知，在坦桑尼亚的任何一家国家公园，都不允许天黑以后驱车游猎。

5.C。推理判断题。根据最后一段中的 we concluded that if there is one family holiday that will attract teens,it is a safari ,可推测，作者觉得这次非洲狩猎旅行非常吸引孩子，因此感到很满意。
