I heard the bees long before I saw them.
It was a very hot afternoon, and we decided to cool off in the river near my home. As we climbed down a small rocky hill toward the water, my boyfriend John suddenly started to shout then jumped into the water below. Peter and Mary quickly followed but I was too far away to jump. I was trapped.
I heard a low hum(嗡嗡聲)，which was growing louder. From a distance, the group of bees looked almost like a cloud of smoke. As it got closer, I realized it was actually thousands of bees flying towards me.
All I could do was cover my face with hands. Crazily, I thought that if I sat very still, the bees would think I was just another rock.
After a few minutes, I knew my plan hadn’t worked. The bees were attacking me. I could hear my friends shouting at me to get down to the pool fast.
But it wasn’t so easy. I was in great pain and the only way I could get away was to use my hands to climb down the rocks. However, I was afraid to do that at first because my face would be unprotected. The noise the bees made was so loud and frightening, but I had no choice.
I rushed down the rocks and jumped into the pool, but I don’t remember doing it. I was just so happy to be free from the pain. I was safe, and the water felt wonderful.
But we still weren’t out of danger. Every time we tried to climb out of the pool, the bees flew back over our heads. We spent the next three hours in the water, putting our heads under the water from time to time to avoid the bees until they finally lost interest.
【小題1】 How many people went swimming that day?

A．Two.B．ThreeC．FourD．Five
【小題2】The underlined word “it” (in Paragraph 3) refers to        .
A．a(chǎn) rockB．the group of beesC．a(chǎn) hillD．the river
【小題3】 At first why didn’t the writer want to climb down the rocks?
A．She was afraid she would fall.
B．She was too far away from pool.
C．She thought the bees would follow her.
D．She didn’t want her face to be unprotected.
【小題4】 How did the writer escape the bees?
A．She covered her face with her hands.
B．She hid behind the rocks.
C．She jumped into a water pool.
D．She pretended to be a rock.
【小題5】In what order are the following mentioned in the story?
a. The writer rushed down the rocks.
b. John jumped into the water.
c. The low hum grew louder.
d. The bees flew back over their heads.
e. The bees were attacking the writer.
A．b c e a dB．b a e c dC．c d e a bD．c b d e a


【小題1】C
【小題1】B
【小題1】B
【小題1】C
【小題1】A

解析【小題1】細節(jié)理解題。由文章第二段我們可以知道the writer，John, Peter和Mary四個人去游泳。
【小題1】細節(jié)推理題。第三段第二，三句話是說“從遠處看，這群蜜蜂就像是一團濃煙。當它們越來越近時，我意識到，事實上這是成千上萬的蜜蜂飛向我”。根據(jù)第二三句，我們就可輕易地得知it 是指the group of bees.故選B。
【小題1】細節(jié)推理題。從第二段最后一句可得知，作者一開始并沒有跳入水里是因為作者too far away to jump，故選B.
【小題1】細節(jié)理解題。從第四段，我們可知道，作者試圖用手遮住臉，并認為只要一動不動，蜜蜂就以為是一塊巖石了，但是第五段說…I knew my plan hadn’t worked. 因此作者并沒有擺脫蜜蜂，故排除A和D。B文章沒有提及。
【小題1】歸納推理題。文章先是交代了Tom 跳入水中，接著作者聽到蜜蜂的嗡嗡聲，隨后蜜蜂襲擊了作者，作者也跳入水中，但是蜜蜂仍在他們的頭頂上徘徊。根據(jù)這條主線，我們就可以歸納出故事發(fā)生的先后順序。故選A

At a nation’s saddest moment, its greatest heroes are born.
On September 11th, 2001, many police officers and government officials in America worked day and night to save lives from the big fire at the World Trade Centre. And in Japan, after the serious earthquake, a group of workers showed their courage.
The earthquake on March 11th made Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant(福島核電站) turn off and stop its protective cooling systems. And later, a fire broke out.  Workers were told that the plant’s radiation(輻射) could be harmful to human health. Hundreds of workers left the plant quickly. However, a group of workers decided to fight against the fire and the damage, though they knew it could cause very serious health problems. There were 50 workers in all, so they were also named the "Fukushima 50". The workers worked in shifts(輪班).
People knew little about the workers, who were mainly experts (專家) with the skills to control the situation. One woman said that her father had volunteered to stay there. "I heard that he volunteered even though he would retire(退休) in just half a year and my eyes were filled with tears. I am really proud of him. And I pray for his safe return.
