第一節(jié)(共15小題;每小題2分，滿分30分)

                                        A 

          Our tiny boat was ploughing through(費(fèi)力穿過) the waves across the Indian Ocean and I was absolutely freezing. The further we got from the shelter of the land,the more I thought how foolish I'd been to come along on this trip.

          The pilot of the boat looked almost 60 but,perhaps because of a lifetime on the open sea in the hot sun,was very fit and strbng. I was wondering how he managed to find his way. To me,it seemed difficult enough to navigate a boat without any electronic equipment even on a sunny day.

           So at least we were safe. But this was not what we had come along for. A look at the other divers^，faces suggested that now they were also doubtflil that we'd ever get the chancy to see a whale shark — these weather conditions were totally unsuitable for diving!None of us spoke. It seemed too much of an effort. Then suddenly the boatman stopped the engine. He said a few words in his own language to the diving instructor,who immediately jumped up from his seat and told us to get ready to dive.

           When I jumped into the grey sea,I was sure I wouldn’t  see anything. But then …there it was!An enormous whale shark,slowly swimming  through the water. I couldn^，t believe my eyes — my first whale shark!I hardly dared breathe — I was afraid my streams of bubbles(氣泡) might scare the huge creature away. And the other divers were equally awed. Slowly we approached this huge animal. It was swimming quite slowly and we were able to swim with it,looking at the beautiful markings on its back. I was still holding my breath,telling myself that this huge fish was harmless!Then I reached out and touched it'stroking (輕撫) its thick skin. It was amazing how this giant suddenly gained speed — we watched it as it swam away from us,and a few moments later it was gone.

A篇(旅游)

本文是記敘文。文章描述了作者第一次看鯨鯊的經(jīng)歷。

21. B. 推理判斷題。由第一段Our tiny boat was ploughing through the waves ...I thought how foolish T d been to come i along on this trip可知，由于天氣不好,作者對(duì)他出海看鯨鯊的決定感到后悔。

22. C. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段的Iwas; wondering how he managed to find his way. To me,it seemed difficult enough to navigate a boat without any electronic equipment even on a sunny day可知，作者最想了解這位船夫.是如何在海上辨別方向的。

23. A. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第E段的… doubtful that wq d ever get the chance to see a whale shark和最后一段作者描述他下水后看到鯨鯊的過程可知，作者此行的目的是看鯨鯊。

24. B. 推理判斷題。由最后一段可知，當(dāng)看到鯨鯊這個(gè)龐然大物然出現(xiàn)時(shí)，作 者有一點(diǎn)害怕；再由他不敢相信自己的眼睛、與鯨鯊一起游泳和大膽輕撫鯨鯊 可知，此時(shí)的他又有點(diǎn)興奮。
