(原创)The endless grassland in Masai Mara is one of the most popular attractions in Kenya, but watch out for the dangerous wild animals hidden in the bushes while enjoying the beautiful natural scenery.
Bears
Bears behave aggressively when they are surprised. Your guides will tell you to wear a bell in order to scare away any bears that may be nearby. Do not go near bear cubs as their mothers will attack violently in order to protect them. Play dead if the bear attacks.
Snakes
Snakes kill their prey(猎物) by slowly squeezing(缩紧)until it can no longer breathe. Should you find yourself being taken in by a snake, you are advised to remain still as struggling will prompt the snake to squeeze. Use one arm as protection for your ribs and use your other arm to unwind the snake.
Tigers
Your guides will require you to wear a bell or another device that will make noise. Do not run away as this is likely to result in the animal making chase. Big cats generally will not attack prey that stands its ground and fights back. In the animal kingdom, displays of size and power are used to frighten away potential attackers. Make yourself look big by spreading out your jacket, yell at the cat and show your teeth. Cats often kill their prey through sustained blood loss. Protect your neck if the cat jumps on you.
Sharks
Avoid lying on the water's surface in an area known to be populated with sharks. Your figure may look like a seal or another vulnerable animal that is common prey for sharks. They can detect vibrations(震动)from hundreds of metres away so swimming is likely to draw sharks towards you. Make slow movements and try to get to shore. Fight back if you are attacked by the shark. Target the eyes.
Wild Dogs
Occasionally wild dogs can be more of a threat than most people think. As with big cats, frightening the dog with loud sounds and making yourself appear larger can prevent a possible attack. If an attack does occur, remain standing and try kicking the dog in the face, focusing on the nose.
1. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Do's and Don'ts in time of danger.
B. Some tips when animals attack.
C. How to prevent wild dogs' attacks?
D. The most popular attraction in Kenya.
2. Who is the passage meant for?
A. Tourists.
B. Swimmers.
C. Guides.
D. Drivers.
3. Your are advised to wear a bell to scare away the following animals EXCEPT ______.
A. bears
B. tigers
C. wild dogs
D. snakes
4. The underlined “ cubs” refer to ______.
A. adult bears
B. big bells
C. young bears
D. squeezing snakes
5. If you are attacked by a shark, you should ______.
A. play dead by lying still
B. hit the shark in its eyes

D. spread out your jacket
Ⅳ.阅读填空(每空不超过三个单词)
Camping goes back to trendy in the UK. With students and parents tightening their belts in the face of the global economic crisis, the overseas holiday tourism around the world is suffering a lot. For many young Brits, during uncertain times, cheap, traditional, homemade alternatives are the choice.
A lot of these people are developing a particular taste for camping holidays. The Camping and Caravanning Club is reporting a 40 percent increase in bookings this year, as well as an increase
in new membership applications.
Campsites in the UK generally fall into one of two categories: holiday parks and wild camping.
The holiday parks are usually large, and accept caravans (野营屋拖车) and tents and have many facilities, from swimming pools to laundry services to bars and shops. For example, young people can find much fun in the Wild Boar Inn campsite in Cheshire, northwest England. There's live music every Saturday, with 60s, 70s and 80sinspired acts for an evening of laughs. These places are good for young Britons to get social. And it's cheap, only around 5 pounds for entry and people can use all the facilities.
For others, the beauty of camping is in enjoying nature and tranquility(宁静), so a wilder camping experience is also attractive. These people choose anywhere remote, with no light or noise pollution — or other people. The campers often choose relatively small campsites. For example, the Highlands of Scotland, and Dartmoor in southern England.1.__________ become popular again in UK
