15."Fish stories"are stories of the greatest fish that a fisherman has almost caught,but for some reason,the fish always get away.Usually,these stories do not have much truth to them.One of the biggest fish stories in history was about a whale.
In 1891,a ship hunting for whales in the South Atlantic Ocean found a very large whale.While the hunters were trying to kill the whale,it sank two small boats.One man died,and another man,James Bartley,was lost in the ocean.However,after the hunters finally killed the whale,they cut open the whale's stomach and found Mr.Bartley inside.He was not dead!
Several weeks later,Mr.Bartley seemed to have got over his terrible experience.The only thing he could remember was that while he was inside the whale,it was very hot.The liquid (液體) from the whale's stomach had turned all of his skin snow white.Mr.Bartley had to live with the effect from the whale for the rest of his life.
Today,many people have heard about the strange experience of Mr.Bartley.But so far not one real fact has been found to prove that the events described by the sailors(水手) ever took place.No scientist or newspaper reporter was ever able to talk to Mr.Bartley,and all of the stories told in magazines about Mr.Bartley's experience were explained by other sailors on the boat.Mr.Bartley was probably not even a real person at all.
In 1928,after the captain (船長(zhǎng)) of the whaling ship had died,one man asked the captain's wife about Mr.Bartley's story.The wife said that no man who had sailed on her husband's ship was that lucky after he fell into a whale's mouse.
However,this has not stopped James Bartley's story from being repeated,and many people today still believe that it is true.

38.What made Mr.Bartley's skin white?D
A.The ocean water.
B.The whale's teeth.
C.The heat inside the whale.
D.The liquid in the whale's stomach.
39.Who may have talked to Mr.Bartley?C
A.A scientist.
B.The captain's wife.
C.The sailors on the ship.
D.A newspaper reporter.
40.The captain's wife said thatA.
A.the story was not true
B.her husband told her the story
C.the whale was never found
D.Mr.Bartley didn't work for her husband
41.In paragraph 4and paragraph 5we may know that Mr.BartleyD.
A.became a writer later
B.died when he was young
C.told his story to a magazine reporter
D.was not even a real person at all.

分析 本文敘述了一個(gè)名叫Mr Bartley的人被鯨魚(yú)吞下后有活著的故事.沒(méi)有人證明船員們描述的事情是真實(shí)的,而且Mr Bartley的太太說(shuō)沒(méi)有人被鯨魚(yú)吞食過(guò),人們猜測(cè)這個(gè)故事是虛構(gòu)的.但是仍然有人相信你這個(gè)故事是真的.

解答 38.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段的The liquid (液體) from the whale's stomach had turned all of his skin snow white.可知鯨魚(yú)肚子里的液體使他的皮膚變成雪白.故選D.
39.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四段的and all of the stories told in magazines about Mr Bartley's experience were explained by other sailors on the boat.可知Mr Bartley的經(jīng)歷可能是他的船員們講的,因此可能他的船員跟他談過(guò)話,故選C.
40.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第五段的The wife said that no man who had sailed on her husband's ship was ever swallowed by a whale.可知那個(gè)故事不是真的.故選A.
41.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第五段的Mr Bartley was probably not even a real person at all.可知甚至沒(méi)有Mr Bartley這個(gè)人.故選D

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做題時(shí)要在理解好文意的基礎(chǔ)上,與題目有機(jī)的結(jié)合,從文章中找到相關(guān)細(xì)節(jié)性的句子與選項(xiàng)細(xì)細(xì)比對(duì),進(jìn)行選擇或推理判斷,選出符合文章內(nèi)容的正確選項(xiàng).做題注意靈活,有時(shí)可采用排除法或直選法確定出最終答案.

All these efforts create the"National Dictionary"of China.The Xinhua Dictionary is not only a useful tool for generations of Chinese people.It also helps foreigners who are learning the Chinese language and culture.
