四、阅读理解

A

Along a long path we came to a deep valley, on the far side of which the path led into some
very
thick bushes. Rather than push through up again and rejoin the path on the far side of the
bushes

As I climbed down into the valley a bird flew off h rock on which I had put my hand. On
looking at the spot from which the bird had risen, I saw two eggs. They were the kind that I did
not have in my collection, so I placed them carefully in my bag, wrapped in a little dry grass.

As we went further down the valley the sides became steeper and not far from where I had
entered. It came to drop of about twelve to fourteen feet. The water that rushed down all these
small valleys in the rainy season had worn the rock as glass. As it was too deep to climb down, I
handed my gun to one of the men and slid down it. My feet had hardly touched the sandy bottom
when
the
two
men
jumped
down,
one
on
each
side
of
me.
They
quickly
gave
me
the
gun
and
asked me if I had heard the tiger. In fact, I had heard nothing; possibly because of the noise I made
sliding down the rock. The men said they had heard a tiger growling somewhere nearby, but they
did not know from which direction the noise had come.

A
fter years of hearing drivers complain about scratches on their cars, Japan’s Nissan Motor
Company has officially announced the next big thing
—
a paint that not only resists scratches and
scrapes, but actually repairs itself within a few days.
The
new
material,
developed
by
Nippon
Paint
Company,
contains
an
elastic
rubbery-like
resin
(
弹性树脂
)
that
is
able
to
heal
minor
marks
caused
by
car
wash
equipment,
parking
lot
encounters, road debris (
石头碎片
) or even on-purpose destruction.




The
automaker
admits
its
results
vary
depending
on
the
temperature
and
the
depth
of
the
damage, but adds this is the only paint like it in the world, and tests prove it works.
Minor scratches, the most common type, are said to slowly fade over about a week. And once
they’re gone, there is no trace that they were ever there.

The special paint is said to last for at least three years after it is first applied, but there is no
word yet on whether more can be added after that period.
Nissan claims car washes are the worst offenders for this type of damage, accounting for at
least 80 percent of all incidents.




But the complete auto-
healing won’t come without scratching your wallet. The vehicle maker
notes the special paint adds about $$100 US to the price of a car.
It
plans
to
use
its
new
chemical
mixture
only
on
its
X-Trail
SUVs
in Japan
for now,
as
it
looks for a m
ore widespread presentation. And while plans to offer the feature overseas haven’t
been made yet, if it’s a hit there, you can be almost sure market forces will drive it to these shores,
as well.
60. From the article, we can find that _________.
A. the paint has already been used on cars by now
B. it beats other products of its kind in its lengthy effect
C. car damage is mainly caused by scratches and scrapes
D. marketing this paint in Europe is not under way
61. The paint used on cars can _________.
A. last 3 years before it is reapplied again
B. fade only in a few days
C. help to protect minor paint damage
D. reduce car scrape incidents to 20 percent


62. What does the underlined part refer to?
A. certain models of Nissan



B. name for one kind of paint
C. somewhere in Japan




D. a word standing for a car-dealer store
63. What can be inferred from the article?
A. The paint was developed by Nissan Motor Company.
B. The paint might work better in summer than in winter.
