Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life-and-death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother’s body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk(象鼻) against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.Just at this moment, she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot(地點(diǎn)) where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mother’s love. Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could, roaring(吼叫) all the time, but to her calf it was music.60.The moment the author got down to the river bank he saw ______.A. the calf was about to fall into the riverB. Ma Shwe was placing the calf on the rockC. the calf was washed away by the rising waterD. Ma Shwe was holding the calf against the rushing water61.How did Ma Shwe manage to save her calf from the fast-flowing water?A. By putting it on a safe spot.B. By pressing it against her body.C. By taking it away with her.D. By carrying it on her back.62.How did the calf feel about the mother elephant’s roaring?A. It was a great fort.B. It was a sign of danger.C. It was a call for help.D. It was a musical note.63.What can be the best title for the text?A. A Mother’s LoveB. A Brave ActC. A Deadly RiverD. A Matter of Life and Death[答案]本文描述了一頭母象在危急時(shí)刻營救落水的小象的經(jīng)過。60.D。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的第二句和第五句可知,當(dāng)作者跑到水邊時(shí),母象Ma Shwe正在盡力用身體擋住湍急的流水,以免孩子被大水沖走。61.A。推理判斷題。從第二段的最后一句“Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock”可判斷母象最終把小象放在一個(gè)安全的地方。62.A。推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章的最后一句“...raring(吼叫) all the time, but to her calf it was music”可知,母象發(fā)出的陣陣吼聲對(duì)于她的孩子來說就像是音樂一樣,換言之,母親發(fā)出的聲音對(duì)孩子來說是一種安慰。63.A。主旨大意題。全文講述了一頭母象不顧自身的安危營救一頭小象的經(jīng)過,贊美了母愛的力量。最后一段中的“I heard the sound of a mother’s love”一句揭示了文章的主題,因此A作為標(biāo)題非常貼切。C(2009浙江)Four people in England, back in 1953, stared at Photo 51. It wasn’t much—a picture showing a black X. But three of these people won the Nobel Prize for figuring out what the photo really showed—the shape of DNA. The discovery brought fame and fortune to scientists James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins. The fourth, the one who actually made the picture, was left out.Her name was Rosalind Franklin. “She should have been up there,” says historian Mary Bowden. “If her photos hadn’t been there, the others couldn’t have e up with the structure.” One reason Franklin was missing was that she had died of cancer four years before the Nobel decision. But now scholars doubt that Franklin was not only robbed of her life by disease but robbed of credit by her petitors.At Cambridge University in the 1950s, Watson and Crick tried to make models by cutting up shapes of DNA’s parts and then putting them together. In the meantime, at King’s College in London, Franklin and Wilkins shone X-rays at the molecule(分子). The rays produced patterns reflecting the shape.But Wilkins and Franklin’s relationship was a lot rockier than the celebrated teamwork of Watson and Crick. Wilkins thought Franklin was hired to be his assistant. But the college actually employed her to take over the DNA project.What she did was produce X-ray pictures that told Watson and Crick that one of their early models was inside out. And she was not shy about saying so. That angered Watson, who attacked her in return, “Mere inspection suggested that she would not easily bend. Clearly she had to go or be put in her place.”As Franklin’s petitors, Wilkins, Watson and Crick had much to gain by cutting her out of the little group of researc
