Question

【題目】

I am Turere. I come from Kitengela, a farming community on the edge (邊緣) of Nairobi National Park of Kenya (肯尼亞). Since the age of nine, I have helped to look after my family’s cows. As a child, in my free time, I enjoyed playing with electronics. I made my own inventions, such as electronics toys from car parts and other things. I also built other electronic devices (儀器) for my neighbors.

At the age of 13, I invented something that changed my life. It also changed the lives of many people in my community. One night, a lion from the park came into my family’s farm and killed one of our cows. I was angry. However, killing the lion, I thought, was not the best way to solve the problem. Instead, I decided to invent a solution.

The first idea I got was to use fire, because I thought lions were scared of fire. But I came to realize that didn't really help, because it was even helping the lions to see through the cowshed (牛棚). So I didn't give up. I continued.

And a second idea I got was to use a scarecrow (稻草人). I was trying to trick the lions into thinking that I was standing near the cowshed. But lions are very clever. They will come the first day and they see the scarecrow, and they go back. But the second day, they'll come and they say, this thing is not moving here, it is always here! So he jumps in and kills the animal.

So one night, I was walking around the cowshed with a torch (手電筒), and that day the lions didn’t come. And I discovered that lions were afraid of a moving light. So I had an idea ...

【1】細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文中“As a child, in my free time, I enjoyed playing with electronics.” 作為一個孩子，在我的空閑時間，我喜歡玩電子產(chǎn)品。故選C。

【2】詞句猜測題。The lion.獅子； The scarecrow稻草人；The cow牛；The cowshed.牛棚。根據(jù)上文“They will come the first day and they see the scarecrow, and they go back. But the second day, they'll come and they say, this thing is not moving here,”可知，他們將在第一天來，他們看到稻草人，他們回去。但是第二天，他們會來，他們說，這東西不在這里移動，這里的it指的是稻草人。故選B。

【3】細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文中“So one night, I was walking around the cowshed with a torch (手電筒), and that day the lions didn’t come. And I discovered that lions were afraid of a moving light.” 所以有一天晚上，我拿著手電筒在牛棚里走來走去，那天獅子沒有來。我發(fā)現(xiàn)獅子害怕移動的光線�？芍�，趕走獅子的方法是使用移動的光。故選A。
