高中英语课外阅读材料：bribe
In East Africa there is a bribe(部落) of people called the Masai. They are tall and slim(苗条的) and carry long spears to guard their cattle against an attacking lion or leopard(豹). These Africans move from place to place on the rolling(绵延起伏的) grasslands looking for suitable grazing(牧场) and water. Mboto is twelve years old. He helps his father drive the cattle. If the family decides to remain in one spot for a while, he helps gather sticks and thin branches to build a simple house. The sticks are placed in the ground in a circle. They are then bent inwards and joined at the top. Small branches and leaves fill the spaces. If it looks as if the family will stay longer than usual, then the inside walls are often plastered with cattle manure(粪). For a door there is only a small opening to allow a person to enter. A thorn(刺) fence is built around the small house to keep cattle safe at night. Lions, leopards and hyenas prowl(觅食) around after dark. So the cattle would be easily killed and eaten.
When Mboto grows up into a man, he will become a true Masai warrior(勇士). He will have to join other warriors in the strange custom of drinking blood. The blood is taken from the neck of one of their cattle. It is mixed with milk and together with meat. It becomes the main food for the men.
The Masai have lived this way for thousands of years. The only change that seems to have affected their lives is the use of the transistor(晶体管) radio. It is quite common to see a young warrior with a pair of earphones listening to music while has is with his cattle.

高中英语课外阅读材料：obstruction
Under proper conditions, sound waves will be reflected from a hillside or other such obstruction(障碍). Sound travels at the rate
of about one-fifth of a mile per second. If the hill is eleven hundred feet away, it takes two seconds for the sound to travel to
the hill and back. Thus, by timing the interval between a sound and
its reflection, you can estimate the distance to an obstruction.
During World War II the British used a practical application(应用) of this law to detect German planes on their way to bomb London long before the enemy was near the target. They used radio waves instead
of sound waves, since radio waves can make a way through fog and
clouds. The outnumbered Royal Air Force always seemed to the puzzled Germans to be surprised.
It was radio echoes(回声) more that anything else that won the Battle of Britain.
Since the radio waves were used to tell the direction in which to send the RAF planes and the distance to send them(their line of
flight, in other words), the device was called radio direction and ranging, and from the initials the word radar was invented.
1. Sound waves reflected from a hill can be used to calculate the _____. A. height of the hill B. speed of sound C. distance to the
hill D. intensity of sound
2. Radar enabled the English to ______.
A. prevent German planes being on their may to London
B. direct the outnumbered RAF planes effectively
C. confuse German bomber
pilots D. number the Royal Air Force
3. The British used radio waves because they ______. A. were more exact than sound waves B. could not be detected
C. were more useful that sound waves
D. were easier to use than sound waves
4. The author of this article probably intended to explain ______.
A. exactly how radar works
B. why the British used radio waves in their device
C. How radar (word and device) Came to be
D. How radar helped the British win the Battle of Britain
高中英语课外阅读材料：tiger
One day last November, Tom Baker stopped out of his house into
the morning light and headed across the rice fields toward the bank
of the Rapti River. Tom, a 32-year-old school teacher in the farming village of Madanpur, was going for his morning bath.
