Question

【題目】The young dolphin swam in the waters off Brisbane, Australia, and found his seafood dinner. Suddenly he realized that he was not the only hungry predator(捕食者)in the area. A ten-foot tiger shark aimed at the same fish. The dolphin refused to give up the meal and dashed to the shark. The shark attacked him, biting down hard into his back.【1】

Later, on the sandy beach nearby, staff at the Tangalooma Resort were shocked to see the severely wounded male. He was a regular visitor, a playful 12-year-old dolphin called Nari.“We’ve known him all his life, since he was a baby,” says resort director Trevor Hassard.【2】The wound measure about a foot long and more than an inch deep. He took photos of Nari and sent them to vets at Sea World, a local marine mammal park. They agreed that Nari needed emergency care.

The next day, Sea World staff traveled to the beach to catch Nari.【3】Nor did he appear the next evening. Everyone was depressed and worried about him.

【4】“I had started thinking the worst,” Hassard says. “Words can’t describe how excited we were.” Six rescuers surrounded Nari and carried him to Sea World. The vets performed an operation to remove the dead flesh from around the bite. Nari was then moved to a special pool where his wound was cleaned and treated regularly.

【5】Sea World decided to tansort Nair back to his home beach. Hassard had worried that the other dolphins might reject Nari after such a long absence. That concern disappeared when Nari’s friend Echo instantly recognized him and moved close to his side.

A. But Nari didn’t show up

B. Three days later, Nari finally turned up.

C. He felt quite worried when he took a close look at Nari’s injury

D. After seven weeks, Nari was fully recovered but growing restless.

E. Shark researchers are trying to warn people to escape without being eaten

F. The five-meter-long dolphin simply swam away, disappearing into the water below.

G. Luckily, the wounded dolphin managed to escape from the shark’s biting with violent struggle.

【解析】本文講述了一只海豚捕食的海豚被鯊魚咬傷后負(fù)傷逃跑。幸運(yùn)的是，這只海豚被度假村的工作人員發(fā)現(xiàn)并將它送到海洋公園進(jìn)行救治。最終海豚完全康復(fù)，但它卻悶悶不樂(lè)。人們決定將它送回海洋，海豚重回海洋，和同伴自由快樂(lè)的生活在一起。

【1】由前文“The shark attacked him, biting down hard into his back”可知海豚受傷了，而下文“staff at the Tangalooma Resort were shocked to see the severely wounded male”表明海豚從鯊魚的口中逃生，故選Ｇ。

【2】從下文工作人員將海豚送去救治的舉動(dòng)來(lái)看，工作人員應(yīng)是富有同情心的，根據(jù)“The wound measure about a foot long and more than an inch deep”可知海豚的傷勢(shì)嚴(yán)重，傷口被仔細(xì)檢查過(guò)。故選Ｃ。

【3】根據(jù)“Nor did he appear the next evening”它第二天也沒(méi)有出現(xiàn)，可知海豚第一天沒(méi)有現(xiàn)身。故選Ａ。

【4】根據(jù)下文“Hassard says. “Words can’t describe how excited we were.” Six rescuers surrounded Nari and carried him to Sea World. ”可知海豚最終還是出現(xiàn)了。結(jié)合文意，故選Ｂ。

【5】下文中“Sea World decided to tansort Nair back to his home beach. ”海豚要被送回海洋，可知這只海豚已經(jīng)康復(fù)了。故選Ｄ。
