A

For

six

hours

we

shot

through

the

landscape

of

the

Karoo

desert

in

South

Africa.

Just

rocks

and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and I just wanted to remember

all we had seen and

done. He used a camera.

I used words. I had already

finished three notebooks

and was into the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I’d bought in a market in

Mozambique.

Southern

Africa

was

full

of

stories.

And

visions.

We

were

almost

drunk

on

sensations.

The

roaring

of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana . And

then

the

other

things:

dogs

in

the

streets,

whole

families

in

Soweto

living

in

one

room,

a

kilometre

from clean water.

As we drove towards the

setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road

was

empty --

we hadn’t

seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye, something moving next to

me. I glanced in the mirror of the car; I glanced sideways to the right, and that was when I saw

them.

Next

to

us,

by

the

side

of

the

road,

thirty,

forty

wild

horses

were

racing

the

car,

a

cloud

of

dust

rising

behind

them

--

brown,

muscular

horses

almost

close

enough

to

touch

them,

to smell

their hot br

eath. I didn’t know how long they had been there next to us.

I shouted to Dan: “Look!”, but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet.

They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms

in the red landscape. When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.

“Wild horses?” he said. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”

“I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds.”

“Are you sure you didn’t dream it?”

“You were the one who was sleeping!”

Typical, he said. “The best photos are the ones we never take.”

We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.

41. During their journey in Africa, the two travelers______.

A. made friends with local residents B. complained about the poor living conditions

C. enjoyed the sunset in the Karoo desert most D. recorded their experiences in different ways

42. What did Daniel think when he woke up and was told what had happened?

1

A. He always missed out on the best thing. B. He had already taken beautiful pictures.

C. A sound sleep was more important. D. The next trip would be better.

43. What is the passage mainly about?

A. How to view wildlife in Africa. B. Running into wildlife in Africa.

C.

Tourist

attractions

in

southern

Africa. D.

Possible

dangers

of

travelling

in

the

desert.

C

You

never

see

him,

but

they’re

with

you

every

time

you

fly.

They

record

where

you

are

going,

how

fast

you’re

traveling

and

whether

everything

on

your

airplane

is

functioning

normally.

Their

ability to withstand almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book.

They’re known as the black box.

When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the

India

ocean

June

30,

2009,

the

black

box

is

the

best

bet

for

identifying

what

went

wrong.

So

when

a French

submarine (

潜水艇) detected

the

device’s homing signal fi

ve days later, the discovery

marked

a

huge

step

toward

determining

the

cause

of

a

tragedy

in

which

152

passengers

were

killed.

In

1958,

Australian

scientist

David

Warren

developed

a

flight-memory

recorder

that

would

track

basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which

became

a

requirement

on

all

U.S.

commercial

flights

by

1960.

Early

models

often

failed

to

withstand

crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the rear of the

plane

–

the area least

subject to

impact

–

from its original position

in the

landing wells
