    (2013·高考四川卷，B)On a sunny day last August，Tim heard some shouting.Looking out to the sea carefully，he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.
    Two 12­year­old boys，Christian and Jack，rowed out a boat to search for a football.Once they’d rowed beyond the calm waters，a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water.The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore.But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.
    Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.
    “Everything went quiet in my head，”Tim recalls(回忆)．“I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”
    Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water.Every 500 yards or so，he raised his head to judge his progress.“At one point，I considered turning back，” he says.“I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.”After 30 minutes of struggling，he was close enough to yell to the boys，“Take down the umbrella！”
    Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella.Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat.He took over rowing，but the waves were almost too strong for him.
    “Let’s aim for the pier(码头)，”Jack said.Tim turned the boat toward it.Soon afterward，waves crashed over the boat，and it began to sink.“Can you guys swim？”he cried.“A little bit，”the boys said.
    Once they were in the water，Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier.Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs.Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys’faces.
    “Are we almost there？”they asked again and again.“Yes，”Tim told them each time.
    After 30 minutes，they reached the pier.
    小题1:Why did the two boys go to the sea?
    A．To go boat rowing.
    B．To get back their football.
    C．To swim in the open water.
    D．To test the umbrella as a sail.
    小题2:What does “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
    A．The beach. B．The water.
    C．The boat. D．The wind.
    小题3:Why did Tim raise his head regularly?
    A．To take in enough fresh air.
    B．To consider turning back or not.
    C．To check his distance from the boys.
    D．To ask the boys to take down the umbrella.
    小题4:How did the two boys finally reach the pier?
    A．They were dragged to the pier by Tim.
    B．They swam to the pier all by themselves.
    C．They were washed to the pier by the waves.
    D．They were carried to the pier by Tim on his back.

    小题1:B
    小题2:D
    小题3:C
    小题4:A
    本文是一篇记叙文。全文记叙了Tim成功地从海中解救了两个12岁男孩的故事。
    小题1:解析：选B。细节理解题。由第二段的Two 12?year?old boys...search for a football.可知B项正确。
    小题2:解析：选D。词义猜测题。文中第二段后三句意为：他们一把船划出静水区，绑在船上的沙滩伞就遇到了风，然后把船拖进了开阔的水域。这两个男孩慌了，尽力想划回海岸。但是他们不是大风的对手，船失去了控制。此处的it指的是the wind。本题易误选B和C，但water和boat都是在wind的作用下才产生力量，所以与两个男孩对抗的是the wind。
    小题3:解析：选C。细节理解题。由第四段I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.“我在尽力弄清楚如何以最近的路线游到男孩们那里”可知，此处Tim抬头是为了确认他与孩子们之间的距离。A项“吸入足够的新鲜空气”文章未提及，B项“考虑是否要返回去”，由下文可知只是作者一时的想法，而不是每次抬头都会考虑，D项“要求男孩们把伞放下来”是他游到男孩附近才说的，故均排除。
    小题4:解析：选A。细节理解题。由倒数第三段中的．..Tim decided...to pull the boys toward the pier.可知男孩们是被Tim拖到码头边的。所以A项符合题意。

    (2013·高考广东卷，C)One day，when I was working as a psychologist in England，an adolescent boy showed up in my office.It was David.He kept walking up and down restlessly，his face pale，and his hands shaking slightly.His head teacher had referred him to me.“This boy has lost his family，”he wrote.“He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others，and I’m very worried about him.Can you help？”
    I looked at David and showed him to a chair.How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to，and which no words can describe.Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.
    The first two times we met，David didn’t say a word.He sat there，only looking up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me.I suggested we play a game of chess.He nodded.After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon—in complete silence and without looking at me.It’s not easy to cheat in chess，but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.
    Usually，he arrived earlier than agreed，took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down.It seemed as if he enjoyed my company.But why did he never look at me?
    “Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with，”I thought.“Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.”Some months later，when we were playing chess，he looked up at me suddenly.
    “It’s your turn，”he said.
    After that day，David started talking.He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club.He wrote to me a few times，about his biking with some friends，and about his plan to get into university.Now he had really started to live his own life.
    Maybe I gave David something.But I also learned that one—without any words—can reach out to another person.All it takes is a hug，a shoulder to cry on，a friendly touch，and an ear that listens.
    小题1:When he first met the author，David________.
    A．felt a little excited
    B．walked energetically
    C．looked a little nervous
    D．showed up with his teacher
    小题2:As a psychologist，the author________.
    A．was ready to listen to David
    B．was skeptical about psychology
    C．was able to describe David’s problem
    D．was sure of handling David’s problem
    小题3:David enjoyed being with the author because he________.
    A．wanted to ask the author for advice
    B．needed to share sorrow with the author
    C．liked the children’s drawings in the office
    D．beat the author many times in the chess game
    小题4:What can be inferred about David?
    A．He recovered after months of treatment.
    B．He liked biking before he lost his family.
    C．He went into university soon after starting to talk.
    D．He got friends in school before he met the author.
    小题5:What made David change?
    A．His teacher’s help.
    B．The author’s friendship.
    C．His exchange of letters with the author.
    D．The author’s silent communication with him.

    That summer an army of crickets(蟋蟀) started a war with my father. Dad cared for insects no more than Mamma, but he could tolerate a few living in the basement. Mamma was a city girl and she said a cricket was just too noisy. Then to support her point she wouldn’t go to bed. She drank coffee and smoked my father’s cigarettes and paced between the sofa and the TV. Next morning she threatened to pack up and leave, so Dad drove to the store and hurried back. He sprayed poison from a jug. When he was finished he told us that was the end of it.
    For a couple of weeks we went back to find dead crickets in the laundry. He suggested that we’d all be better off to hide as many as we could from Mamma. I fed a few dozen to the cat who I didn’t like because he scratched for no reason.
    However,soon live crickets started showing up in the kitchen and bathroom. Mamma was upest because she thought they were the dead crickets coming back,but Dad said these were certainly new ones. He fetched his jug of posion and sprayed all over until the whole house smelled of posion, and then he sprayed the basement again.
    A couple of weeks later, when both live and dead crickets kept turning up, Dad emptied the basement of junk. Then he burned a lot of old newspapers and magazines which he said the crickets had turned into nests.
    While we ate supper that evening, the wind lifted some flames onto the wood pile. The only gasoline was in the lawn mower’s(割草机) fuel tank but that was enough to create an explosion big enough to reach the house. Once the roof caught, there wasn’t much anyone could do.
    After the fire trucks left, Mamma took the others to Aunt Gail’s. I helped Dad and Uncle Burt carry things out of the house and pile them by the road. We worked into the night and we didn’t talk much, while all around the noise of crickets broke our silence.

    On June 15th，2012，millions of people watched as 33­year­old Nik Wallenda walked across one of the world's greatest waterfalls on a tightrope(钢丝)．What made the 25－minute walk that was televised live and watched by over 13 million people worldwide even more amazing，is that it was done over the Niagara Falls－An action that had never been attempted before.
    Even though Nik was wearing a harness(保护带)，a safety measure provided by ABC，the television network that broadcast the event，his action to keep his balance against the strong winds made for some heart－stopping(令人担忧的) moments for the audience.
    Nik，however，never slowed down for even one moment.Wearing special shoes made by his mother，he remained totally focused on the job at hand.It was only when he got to the last stretch near Canada's Table Rock that he knelt down on one knee and finally broke into a smile.Waving and blowing kisses to the cheering audience，he knew he had accomplished a great task，which most people had thought impossible.
    While he described the whole experience as peaceful and relaxing，Nik said his biggest challenges came from a totally unexpected source－his 40 pound balancing pole.The balancing pole was so heavy that he could hardly carry it on the tightrope.

A 5，000－foot tightrope walk across the Grand Canyon.While the one across the Niagara Falls took years of planning because he had to convince the US and Canadian officials，this one should happen in the very near future.That's because，the Florida resident has already been granted(授予) a permit by the Canyon officials.
    小题1:Why did so many people fix their attention on the event?
    A．Because it was done by Nik Wallenda.
    B．Because nobody had done it there before.
    C．Because it was broadcast live by ABC.

    Standing       the meat, I searched for the perfect small steak       my husband used to love it.       a woman came up beside me. I watched as she picked up a large pack of T-bone steaks, dropped them in her basket,      , and then put them back. She turned to go and once again       for the pack of steaks. She saw me       her and she smiled. “My husband loves T-bone steaks, but they are so expensive.”
    “My husband       away eight days ago,” I told her, and       to control the sadness in my voice, “Buy him the T-bone steaks. And       every moment you have together.”
         by my words, she placed the steaks in her basket and walked away      . But several minutes later she came towards me again,       a package in her arms. She was       the brightest smile I had ever seen.
    As she      , I saw what she held. “These are for you,” she placed three beautiful yellow roses in my hands. I wanted to tell her what the roses       for me, but, unable to speak, only watching her walking away.
    Looking down at the roses, I wondered       she knew it. Suddenly the answer seemed so      . I wasn’t alone. There were       many people caring for me and willing to help me. Just be thankful for what you have and who you are.
