【題目】I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down，I immediately recognized that something was wrong，and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Shwe with her threemonthold calf struggling in the fast-rising water，and it was a lifeanddeath struggle. Her calf was floating(漂浮) and screaming with fear.Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get，holding her whole body against the rushing water，and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body.Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.

There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother's body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk (象鼻) against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort，she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.

Just at this moment，she fell back into the river. If she were carried down，it would be certain death. I knew，as well as she did，that there was one spot (地點) where she could get up the bank，but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.

While I was wondering what I could do next，I heard the sound of a mother's love. Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could，roaring (吼叫) all the time，but to her calf it was music.

【1】The moment the author got down to the river bank he saw　　　　.

A. the calf was about to fall into the river

B. Ma Shwe was placing the calf on the rock

C. the calf was washed away by the rising water

D. Ma Shwe was holding the calf against the rushing water

【2】How did Ma Shwe manage to save her calf from the fast flowing water？

A. By putting it on a safe spot. B. By pressing it against her body.

C. By taking it away with her. D. By carrying it on her back.

【3】How did the calf feel about the mother elephant's roaring？

A. It was a great comfort. B. It was a sign of danger.

C. It was a call for help. D. It was a musical note.

【4】What can be the best title for the text？

A. A Mother's Love B. A Brave Act

C. A Deadly River D. A Matter of Life and Death

【答案】

【1】D

【2】A

【3】A

【4】A

【解析】試題分析：本文主要講了“我”在聽到一頭大象的哭聲后，走近河岸邊的所見：一頭母象為了挽救自己的幼崽，正在與一場兇猛的河水進行生死搏斗。經(jīng)過她的不懈努力和她終于成功營救了自己的孩子，并奮不顧身地沖向河岸的另一邊。這個故事告訴我們動物之間也有和人一樣的母子真情存在。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第一段講到當(dāng)“我走到河岸邊時，“我”的所見Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water。意思是：Ma Shwe盡可能的貼近河岸，抓住小象來對抗洪水。這里的her指calf。對照選項可知，答案為D

【2】細(xì)節(jié)題。由文章第一段中對Ma Shwe營救小象的細(xì)節(jié)描寫可知，Ma Shwe是在尋找一個安全的地方。文章第二段第三句話I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot (地點) where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf再次說明她是通過小象發(fā)到一個安全的地方來營救小象的。故選A

【3】推理判斷題。由文章對小象的描寫Her calf was floating and screaming with fear.可知小象一直是處于緊張、害怕的狀態(tài)，知道象媽媽成功的救了自己并來到自己身邊時，它的害怕和緊張情緒在得以平復(fù)，對于象媽媽的吼叫也像是音樂一般成為小象的一種撫慰。故選D

【4】主旨大意題。由文章內(nèi)容可知，這篇文章主要是講母象Ma Shwe在遇到洪水時，奮不顧身的營救自己的孩子的整個過程，體現(xiàn)了偉大的母愛。故選A

A young man called LowCarbon Brother become a hit on the Internet in 2011. He is still active in protecting the environment. He suggests living a lowcarbon life, which means using less energy in our daily life so that we can help reducing carbon dioxide in the air. For example, she always picks up some waste paper on the street or uses the blank side to write something. While he is watching TV, he always turns up the screen brightness to the minimum and turns off the light. Therefore, he goes to work by bike instead of driving.

The right pair of exercise shoes can do a lot to prevent discomfort and injuries, personal trainers say. Here are some shopping tips:

【1】 Depending on your workout, shoes designed for walking, running, tennis, cross-training or another specialty will provide the best support for your feet.

Shop when you normally exercise. Feet actually get bigger throughout the day, sometimes swelling up as much as a half-size by nighttime. 【2】

Try them on. Never grab a pair of exercise shoes based only on the size of footwear you normally buy. Bring the type of socks you’d wear to work out and go for a walk through the store.

【3】 You should be able to spread your toes out comfortably. Make sure there’s about a half-inch of space between them and the front of the shoe. The back should fit snugly (warmly and comfortably) against your heel and not move up and down. If your feet are different sizes, buy based on the larger one.

Talk to an expert. Shoe salesmen and personal trainers can study your stride (步伐) and the shape of your feet. 【4】

【5】 Many trainers recommend switching footwear every three to five months, if possible, to maintain proper cushioning and support.

One tip: if you have to tie your shoes very tightly to feel a good amount of support, they may be ready to go.

A. Think about how much you can afford to buy the workout shoes.

B. Consider your type of exercise.

C. Focus on fit.

D. So/span> don’t shop first thing in the morning if you often work out in the evening.

E. Pay more attention to new style shoes.

F. Replace worn shoes regularly.

G. Usually they can recommend the best shoes to guard against injuries.
