9、A第 2 页 共 6 页Driving to a friends house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friends rooftops. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it was that most city people, myself included, usually miss sights like this because we
10、 spend most of our lives indoors.My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life. I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some frien
11、ds. We stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires (篝火) outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside.

18、n vehicles (车辆) lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert, seeking a million in prize money. To win, they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than 10 hours. Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key partdrivers.第 3 页 共 6 页DARPA,
19、 the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, organized the race as part of a push to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields, where a fight between two armies takes place.

30、he language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other peoples.

35、l teachers if they ask for it.
