阅读理解。     On a recent morning in Clearwater, Florida, Maja Kazazic jumped down into water. From a distance, the
dolphin seemed friendly enough. Still, Kazazic felt a little panic slide into her excitement. In spite of her fear,
she felt strong wearing her new leg.
    In second grade in Bosnia, Kazazic lost her cousin, Jasmina. Kazazic promised she would honor Jasmina
by swimming with a dolphin, an animal that both girls loved. "Jasmina never got the chance to do it," says
Kazazic,"so I decided that someday I"d do it for her."
     However, in 1993, during the Bosnian civil war, Kazazic was badly injured. Her left leg was cut just below
the knee and she received her first artificial (人工的) leg in the US. Because there was so little bone left, and
with her right leg also damaged, walking was rather painful, but she managed to graduate from college. She
was able to play golf or tennis.
    Then one day a young dolphin, Winter, who had lost her tail, caught Kazazic"s eye. Trainers were fitting
Winter with a high-tech tail. When they were done, Winter dashed off through the water.
     Kazazic was excited. If she can do this, there"s no way I can"t, she thought. Within ten days, she had a
new leg with the help of the inventor. Eight months later, Kazazic was ready to keep the promise. "After being
in a war, this should be a piece of cake," Kazazic said as she lowered herself into the tank. Then and there the
two went on an hour-long swim around the pool.
     When Kazazic climbed out, she quietly said, "I feel like I owed (欠) somebody something, and now I"ve
paid my debt." Out in the parking lot, she got into her car and cried till she lost her voice. 1. Which of the following might serve as the best title of the passage?[     ]
A. Kazazic"s Promise.
B. Jasmina"s Death.
C. Kazazic"s Debt.
D. A Dolphin"s Tail. 2. What does the underlined word "panic" mean in the first paragraph? [     ]
A. Fear.
B. Surprise.
C. Excitement.
D. Satisfaction. 3. Which is the correct order of the following events?
    a. Kazazic was treated and received a new leg in the US.
    b. Kazazic made a promise to swim with a dolphin.
    c. Jasmina died in Bosnia when Kazazic was in second grade.
    d. Kazazic overcame difficulties and carried out her promise.
    e. Kazazic was badly injured in her legs during the war. [     ]
A. b, c, e, a, d
B. b, e, c, d, a
C. c, b, e, a, d
D. c, e, b, d, a 4. Kazazic cried in her car after she swam with the dolphin because _____. [     ]
A. she was sad her cousin couldn"t do it with her
B. she was excited her promise had come true
C. she was afraid she would lose the other leg
D. she was proud she didn"t owe money to anybody

not be a tree for him because we didn"t have enough money. However it didn"t matter to him. All he talked
about was how much he wanted to make other children smile. So he decided to earn money to buy Christmas
cards and send them to other children from poor families. My son went out daily and raked leaves and walked
some dogs to make money. Not only did he buy cards, but he also made enough money to buy all the stamps

A gentle breeze blew through Jennifer"s hair. The golden red sun was setting. She was on the beach, looking up at the fiery (火红的) ball. She was amazed by its color, deep red in the middle, softly fading into yellow. She could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky. The atmosphere relaxed her. After all she had been through, this was what she needed. "It"s getting late," she thought, "I must go home. My parents will be wondering where I am." She wondered how her parents would react, when she got home after the three days she was missing. She kept on walking, directing herself where she spent every summer holiday. The road was deserted. She walked slowly and silently. Just in a few hundred meters she would have been safe in her house. It was really getting dark now. The sun had set a few minutes before and it was getting cold too. She wished she had her favorite sweater on: it kept her really warm. She imagined having it with her. This thought disappeared when she finally saw her front door. It seemed different. Nobody had taken care of the outside garden for a few days. She was shocked: her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy, and now... It all seemed deserted. She couldn"t understand what was going on. She entered the house. First, she went into the kitchen where she saw a note written by her father. It said:" Dear Ellen, there is some coffee ready. I went looking." Ellen was her mother but－where was she? On the right side of the hallway was her parents" room. She went in. Then she saw her. Her mother, lying on the bed, was sleeping. Her face looked so tired, as if she hadn"t slept for days. She was really pale. Jennifer would have wanted to wake her up but she looked too tired. So Jennifer just fell asleep beside her. When Jennifer woke up, something was different－she wasn"t in her mother"s room and she wasn"t wearing the old clothes she ran away in. She was in her cozy bed in her pajamas. It felt so good being back home. Suddenly she heard a voice, "Are you feeling better now, dear? You know you got us very, very scared."
1. Three days later Jennifer came back home _____.
[ ]
A. at sunrise B. at sunset C. at night D. at midday
2. What does the underlined phrase "This thought" most probably mean?
[ ]
A. The idea of going back home. B. Her anxiety about her parents. C. The feeling of being warm in her favorite sweater. D. The feeling of getting back home safely.
3. Her father didn"t take care of the garden because _____.
[ ]
A. he was busy looking for her B. he had to look after his wife C. he was not strict with his job D. he no longer enjoyed working in the garden
4. What can we infer from this passage?
[ ]
A. In fact Jennifer"s mother had been sick for days. B. As Jennifer walked towards home, she became increasingly scared. C. When she found the garden deserted, she realized she was wrong. D. Having experienced a lot outside, Jennifer felt home was safest for her.
