Question

【題目】

“Save the whales!” That's what the picture on Jake Smith's bedroom wall said. Jake liked having a picture that said something important that showed he cared. He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighbourhood.

It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whales' coming. A group of the animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake's hometown. All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them. They were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie, but nothing they'd have to do anything about.

Then one whale swam in the direction, directly towards land. It came in with the waves, and when the waves receded, it stayed. Its huge body rested on the sand. Suddenly, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers. A few people ran towards the animal. They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water, but it was no use.

An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery, to help move the animal. Jake and his family couldn't do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers. At least, Jake thought, they could help in some way.

Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times they were finally able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to sea. It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea. Then, in what looked like a jump for joy, it rose high above the water—a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save its life.

【解析】

本文是篇記敘文，主要講述了人們齊心協(xié)力幫助一頭鯨魚重回大海的故事。Jake Smith喜歡把自己關(guān)心的事情貼在墻上。他的墻上貼了一張拯救鯨魚的圖片。報(bào)紙第一次報(bào)道鯨魚來了的消息時(shí)，那是一個(gè)星期六的早上。一些動(dòng)物游經(jīng)Jake Smith家鄉(xiāng)的海岸線。人們都去觀看。一只鯨魚被海浪帶上了岸。人們由觀光客變?yōu)榱司仍�人員，幫忙鯨魚再次回到海水里。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的第二句話“Jake liked having a picture that said something important: that showed he cared.”可知Jake貼的畫就是他所關(guān)心的內(nèi)容。拯救鯨魚是和環(huán)境有關(guān)的。故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“they were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie”可知人們期待鯨魚的表演，也就是它的泳姿。故選C。

【3】詞意猜測(cè)題。從第三段的“It came in with the wave”以及“its huge body rested on the sand”可知此處指浪潮退去，鯨魚留在了沙灘上。故選B。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第四段的“Jack and his family couldn’t do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers.”可知Jake和家人給救援人員做了吃喝的東西。故選C。

【5】排序題。由句子It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea. 它游了大約一英里，然后在海底消失了一會(huì)兒。可知，鯨魚最終獲救游回大海，故a位于末尾，排除C和D，根據(jù)句子An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery, to help move the animal. 一個(gè)動(dòng)物救援隊(duì)很快來到一輛裝有重型起重機(jī)械的卡車上，幫助移動(dòng)動(dòng)物。和句子Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the headlights on the sand. 有些人把車排成一排沿著海灘行駛，把車燈照在沙灘上�？芍�，救援人員到了之后，人們打開車燈給救援人員照明，故d在b之前。故選A。
