A
Osama Bin Laden was killed with a single shot to the head. He had been tracked down to a million-dollar compound(复合式建筑) just 35 miles from the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, where he is thought to have been living for six years.
The extraordinary details of his last resistance were disclosed by the White House. The 13-year hunt for the world’s most wanted man finally reached a bloody end.
Bin Laden used his wife as a human shield(盾) in a last desperate attempt to save his own life before he was gunned down by US special forces in his hiding place in Pakistan. Armed with an automatic weapon, the al-Qaeda leader’s last act was to force his young bride to sacrifice her life as he tried to fire back at the US Navy Seals(海豹突击队) storming the compound.
President Barack Obama, watching the fight in real time, turned to his advisers and said, “We got him.”
Far from living in a cave or a tunnel, the terrorist leader had been “hiding in plain view” less than a mile from Pakistan’s main military academy(陆军军官学院) in Abbottabad.
The 54 year-old, whose body was identified using DNA and facial recognition techniques, was buried at sea to avoid any danger of his grave becoming a shrine(圣地).
News of bin Laden’s death, confirmed on live television by Mr Obama at 4∶30am British time yesterday, resulted in wild celebration on the streets of New York, the city where al-Qaeda’s worst attack took place some ten years ago.
The death of bin Laden meant the world was “a safer place”, President Obama said last night. Earlier, the White House described it as a “critical moment in the war against al-Qaeda”.
1. According to the passage, bin Laden had been living infor years before he was killed.

A. the world will be free from terrorism.
B. there is not yet end of fighting against al-Qaeda
C. the world will be safe with bin Laden killed
D. there is little to do against al-Qaeda
3. What does the underlined word “got” mean in the fourth paragraph?
A. Caught. B. Found. C. Killed. D. Beat.
4. What is the author’s attitude toward bin Laden’s death?
A. Indifferent. B. Enthusiastic.

People around the world watched Britain’s Prince William and Kate Middleton get married. The royal wedding broke records for live streaming on the Internet. It also produced more than two million tweets on Twitter.
The ceremony took place on Friday at Westminster Abbey in London. Kate wore a flowing white gown designed by Sarah Burton, the creative director of Alexander McQueen. William wore a red army uniform. Hats were a big fashion statement. Many of those invited wore them.
It was Britain’s biggest wedding since William and Harry’s parents, Prince Charles and Princess Diana, were married in 1981. Nearly two thousand guests filled the church on Friday. Hundreds of thousands of people went to the streets and parks of London to watch the wedding on video screens.
Among the wedding guests were English football star David Beckham and his wife Victoria, British Prime Minister David Cameron, the king of Norway and singer Elton John.
Bahrain’s crown prince(皇储) was invited but decided not to attend because of unrest(骚乱) in his country. Britain took back an invitation to the ambassador(外交官) from Syria over violence against protesters there.
After the ceremony, the royal couple travelled to Buckingham Palace. Crowds cheered when the newlyweds appeared on a balcony greeting to them.
Later, William drove his wife out of Buckingham Palace in an open-top Aston Martin car. William and the newest member of the royal（皇家的） family will now be known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Kate is 29, and William will be 29 in June. His grandmother is Queen Elizabeth. His father, Prince Charles, is first in line to become king. William, as the elder son, is second in line. Kate would not become queen, however, since she is not in the royal blood line. There was a big celebration at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. That was where William and Kate first met as art history students in 2001.
