"I left Tangier, my birthplace, the 13th of June 1325 with the intention of making the pilgrimage（朝圣） to Mecca．．． to leave all my friends both female and male, to abandon my home as birds abandon their nests．" So begins an old manuscript（手稿） in a library in Paris－the travel journal of Ibn Battuta．

Almost two centuries before Columbus, Ibn Battuta set off for Mecca, returning home three decades later as one of history's great travelers． Driven by curiosity, he journeyed to remote comers of the Islamic world, traveling through 44 modern countries, three times as far as Marco Polo． Little celebrated in the West, his name is well known among Arabs． In his hometown of Tangier, a square, a hotel, a cafe, a ferry boat, and even a hamburger are named after him．

Ibn Battuta stayed in Mecca as a student for several years, but the urge to travel soon took over． In one adventure, he traveled to India seeking profitable employment with the sultan of Delhi．On the way, he described his group being attacked in the open country by 80 men on foot, and two horsemen． "We fought… killing one of their horsemen and about twelve of the foot soldiers… I was hit by an arrow and my horse by another, but God in his grace preserved me… "． In Delhi, the sultan gave him the position of judge, based on his prior study at Mecca． But the sultan had an unpredictable character, and Ibn Battuta looked for an opportunity to leave． When the sultan offered to finance a trip to China, he agreed． IbnBattuta set off in three ships, but misfortune struck while he was still on the shore． A sudden storm grounded and broke up two ships, scattering treasure and drowning many people and horses． As he watched, the third ship with all his belongings and slaves （one carrying his child）, was carried out to sea and never heard from again．

After a lifetime of incredible adventures, Ibn Battuta was finally ordered by the sultan of Morocco to return home to share his wisdom with the world． Fortunately, he agreed and wrote a book that has been translated into numerous languages, allowing people everywhere to read about his unparalleled journeys．

1.What is the main topic of the article?

A．Visitors to Mecca．

B．A great travel joumal．

C．Ibn Barttuta and the sultan．

D．Ibn Battuta and adventures．

2.Which word below might share similar meaning with the underlined word "prior' ?

A．formal B．flexible

C．former D．final

3.What is Ibn Battuta's main character reflected in this article?

A．optimistic B．sympathetic

C． submitted D． committed

4.It can be inferred from the text that ．

A．Ibn wasn't fond of the sultan of Delhi

B．Ibn never liked ancient China

C．Ibn was a good friend of Marco Polo

D．Ibn dedicated the book to his child

5.What brought Ibn Battuta finally back to his motherland?

A． His love for the country．

B． His faith in God．

C． His plan to write a book．

D． His sultan's order．

閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

As a kid, I was a little fat. In college, I was less active, and I started blowing up. It got out of control when I went to law school. At the age of 30, I weighed 414 pounds. I was always tired. I have a family history of heart disease, and I was scared. I also wanted to look better. So a few weeks after my birthday, in the spring of 2006, I started to lose weight.

Walking was all I could do at first. I started by walking to a subway stop a few blocks away instead of the one closest to my apartment. I gradually increased the distance. A year later, I started to run. At first I could run for only two minutes, but I kept on.

I made a difference. I was losing nine or ten pounds a month, and I had a lot more energy. I started to think about the New York City Marathon, which goes right past my apartment building. For years, I thought I could never do that. But now I realized that maybe I could…

By my 33rd birthday, in the spring of 2009, I was down to 180 pounds. That summer, I started formally training for the marathon. And on the morning of November 1, I stood on the Verrazano Bridge in Staten Island with more than 40,000 other runners, waiting for the event to start.

When we started moving, it was an amazing feeling to have people cheering me on, handing me cups of water. In Harlem, my mom and brother stood on a street corner, waving. And then I crossed the finishing line in Central Park, and somebody put a medal around my neck. I was in tears from being so happy.

A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light cannot get out. The gravity is so strong because matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. This can happen when a star is dying.

Because no light can get out, people can’t see black holes. Space telescopes with special tools can help find black holes. The special tools can see how stars that are very close to black holes act differently from other ones.

Black holes can be big or small. Scientists think the smallest black holes are as small as just one atom. These black holes are very tiny but have the mass of a large mountain. Mass is the amount of matter, or “staff”, in an object.

Another kind of black hole is called “stellar”(星球黑洞). Its mass can be up to 20 times more than the mass of the sun. There may be many stellar mass black holes in Earth’s galaxy. Earth’s galaxy is called the Milky Way.

The largest black holes are called “supermassive”(超大質(zhì)量黑洞). These black holes have masses that are more than one million suns together. Scientists have found proof that every large galaxy contains a supermassive black hole at its center. The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy has a mass equal to about four million suns and would fit inside a very large ball that could hold a few million Earths.

Scientists think the smallest black holes formed when the universe began. Stellar black holes are made when the center of a very big star falls in upon itself, or falls apart. When this happens, it exploded part of the star into space. Scientists think supermassive black holes were made at the same time as the galaxy they are in.

A black hole can not be seen because strong gravity pulls all of the light into the middle of the black hole. But scientists can see how the strong gravity affects the stars and gas around the black hole. Scientists can study stars to find out if they are flying around, or orbiting a black hole.

When a black hole and a star are close together, high-energy light is made. This kind of light cannot be seen with human eyes. Scientists use satellites and telescopes in space to see the high-energy light.

1.The gravity of a black hole may become so strong that light cannot get out when ____________.

A. the star is going to die

B. special tools are used on it

C. other stars come close to it

D. it is seen from the space telescopes

2.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. A black hole can be very tiny but extremely heavy.

B. The gravity of a black hole holds all light in its center.

C. Scientists observe high-energy light through their own eyes.

D. Some small black holes came into being as early as the universe.

3.Which can be inferred from the passage?

A. Every galaxy must have a black hole.

B. A galaxy is the center of the universe.

C. A galaxy consists of a large group of stars and planets.

D. Earth’s galaxy is called the Milky Way.

4.What does the last sentence in Paragraph 5 suggest?

A. Neither the sun nor the earth is as heavy as a black hole.

B. There is only one supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.

C. The supermassive black hole had existed before the Milky Way was formed.

D. There is a reason why the large black holes are called “supermassive”.

5.The last two paragraph mainly focus on the question of _________.

A. what a black hole is

B. how black holes form

C. how big black holes are

D. how scientists know about black holes

I, together with my two friends, were eating dinner at a Chinese restaurant, locating in the center of New York. I noticed the young woman eating with two kids. We stopped by and I asked the kids if he believed in Santa. The elder boy, whom was about seven years old, pointed his younger sister and said, “She does, but I don’t.” I told them Santa was real and as we were paying for our dinner, I paid for theirs, either. I didn’t know that whether the woman was alone, but I grow up with my mother supporting us four kids alone. I still feel good thinking I may have helped on some small ways.
