阅读理解     It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night.The morning after the storm,though,was
beautiful:blue skies,warm air and a calm,inviting sea touching the shore gently.
     My father realised it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him.I was
only 14 and fishing had never been my thing,but I decided to go all the same.I"m_so_glad_I_did.
     On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast,but the harbour itself
was in fairly good shape.After all,it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel
to the sea.As we got on board,we noticed two big humps(脊背) in the distance.
     On approaching them,we saw it was a mother whale with her baby.We couldn"t believe it-there aren"t
any whales along the coast here.The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay,in which
the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.
     The little baby whale-actually as big as our boat-was obviously stuck and could not move.The mother
dived under the water and came up suddenly,making big whirlpools(漩涡) and waves."She"s trying to
help her baby,but on the wrong side,"my father said.At this point,my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and,heading the boat towards the baby whale,pushed it gently.With our several gentle
pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water.Then it swam up right beside its mum.
They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong
direction.We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel.Slowly,they let us
lead them,sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe-and to give us a trusting look with
those huge eyes.Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea,the mum gave
us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.
     In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes,but we had been with those wonderful animals for
almost an hour and a half.That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day.Nearly four decades later,I
still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.

1. The author says "I"m so glad I did."(in Para. 2)because_____  .
A. he witnessed the whole process of fishing
B. he enjoyed the beauty of the calm sea
C. he experienced the rescue of the whales
D. he spent the weekend with his family

2. The harbour survived the storm owing to ________.
A. the shape of the harbour
B. the arms of the bay
C. the still water in the channel
D. the long coast line

3. The mother whale failed to help her baby because ________.
A. she had stayed in the polluted water for too long
B. the whirlpools she had made were not big enough
C. she had no other whales around to turn to for help
D. the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction

4. What is the theme of the story?
A. Saving lives brings people a sense of happiness.
B. Fishing provides excitement for children.
C. It"s necessary to live in harmony with animals.
D. It"s vital to protect the environment.

完形填空。     As a teacher, my daily activity involves driving to a new school almost every day.
     On one particular day, I was teaching in a very 36   classroom. I was managing behavior all morning,
and by lunchtime I knew I needed a coffee to 37  the afternoon. So during my lunch break, I drove to a
nearby square to get a coffee. Upon returning to the 38  , I realized I had locked my phone and my 39  
inside! I had about 15 minutes to get back to the 40  , which was a good five -minute drive. If I ran back
really quickly, I could 41   it. But it was winter, and a sudden fall on the ice would only make the situation
much 42  .
     So I hurried into a McDonald"s in the same square, and 43   the man at the counter, who happened to
be the 44  , to call a taxi for me. After I 45   explained my situation to him, he rushed inside to make the
phone 46   I waited anxiously in the restaurant. I had less than 10 minutes to 47   to my school at this point.
     A moment later, the manager returned 48   to tell me that the line was 49  , and that he had not been
able to 50   the taxi yet. I think both 51   and fear could be seen in my face.
     Without a thought, he grabbed his coat and 52   to drive me to the school. Without hesitation, I
followed him into his car and got back to the classroom with two minutes to 53   before the bell rang!
     This experience made me 54   that out of every seemingly hopeless situation, there is the opportunity
for acts of kindness to happen, which has a(n) 55   influence on those who receive them.

阅读理解。
     A few days ago I got a call from my old college friend whom I haven"t seen for a very long time.
The topic, which was about all the good old times that we had changed to a touching story when he
started talking about his father.
     His father"s declining health made him stay at the hospital. Because of his illness, his father suffered
from insomnia(失眠) and often talked to himself. My friend, who had not been able to sleep for a few
days as he had to keep watching his father"s condition, became irritated and told his father to keep silent
and try to get some sleep. His father said that he really wanted to sleep well because he was very tired
and told my friend to leave him alone in the hospital if he did not want to keep him company.
     After his father finished talking, he fell unconscious(失去知觉) . My friend was very sorry for
speaking the ill words towards his father. My friend, whom I knew as a tough person, cried as a baby
on the other end of the telephone. He said that from that moment on, he prayed every day, asking God
to let his father wake up from his coma. He promised himself that whatever words came out from his
father"s mouth after he regained his consciousness, he would gladly take them. His only hope for God
was to give him a chance to rectify his past mistake.
     Often, we complain when we have to accompany or watch over our parents for years, months, days,
hours or even minutes. But do we realize that our parents keep us company and watch over us for as
long as we (or they)live? From the day we were born to our adulthood, and even when deaths come to
us, they are always at our side.
     Imagine how sad our parents will be when they hear a seemingly innocent word of "no" come out
from our mouths. We can make promises to ourselves that from now on there will be no more complaints
that come out from our mouths when we have to watch over or accompany our parents. No more
complaints come out from our mouths when we feel that our parents have treated us like little children.
There are so many unlucky ones who have neither fathers nor mothers. They long to have the things that
we most complain about, but never have them.
     Actually, it takes only a second to think and light the lamp that will bring us to a place where peace is
dwelling.
1. Which of the following word can be used to describe the writer"s friend?
A. Sad              
B. Sorry              
C. Regretful        
D. Pitiful
2. What does the underlined word "rectify" mean in Para. 3?
A. put…right        
B. recite…by heart  
C. realize          
D. recogniz
3. What does the writer want to tell us in the passage?
A. Your parents will keep talking to themselves when they are old.
B. Be good to your parents when you still have the chance.
C. You will regret in your life if you don"t show your kindness to your parents.
D. It is not easy to take good care of sick old parents.
