【正文】 violent sports if people enjoy them so much? You may well ask. The answer is simple: they are uncivilized. For centuries man has been trying to improve himself spiritually and emotionally—though with little success. But at least we no longer tolerate the sight madmen imprisoned in cages, or public punishment of any of the countless other barbarous (野蠻的 ) practices which were mon in the past. Prisons are no longer the harsh forbidding places they used to be. Social welfare systems are in operation in many parts of the world. Big efforts are being made to distribute wealth fairly.

One day, we took out a small rowing boat with an outboard motor on it, and went fishing on a lagoon at a place called San Martina. 61 Suddenly, as if out of nowhere, there was this disturbance in the water. I remember at first everyone thought it was a dolphin, but it wasn39。t leaping in and out of the water, and before long we could see this grey fin moving purposefully towards us. It then circled around our rowing boat, and I remember my father saying: 39。Well, I think that39。s a shark . . .39。 62 My mother was screaming, and father was shouting obscenities at this thing, which he was to bash (痛擊 ) back with one of the oars. I had never seen my parents in obvious terror before, and that39。s something which never leaves you. 63 My mother clutched the three of us around her. I remember she had a navy blue robe, with huge starfishes and sunflowers on it, and us three kids gratefully huddled together inside it. 64 As soon as we were in the fishing boat there was this almost hysterical laughter, and I remember feeling very cold, and being unable to stop trembling. 65 We all talked about it continually, too, and probably made out we were far braver than we were. And there was lots of reenactment(表演 ). I remember that we made mud pools. One of us would be crawling along, playing the shark, and the others screaming and shouting: 39。Kill the shark39。. A. For the longest time this thing kept circling around us, and hitting our rowing boat, while Dad continued fighting it off, stabbing at it with his oar, which was probably the worst thing to have done because it must have made the beast even angrier than it already was. B. Our story went back to the town. It spread like wildfire. Everybody knew about it, and people talked about it endlessly. My father was regarded as a bit of a hero: Dad the sharkbasher. If he39。d caught the thing, then I suppose he would have been pletely heroic. C. The shark became a legend in the town and there were many local fishermen who claimed to have seen it moving around the bay. But despite all the stories of sightings, nobody ever managed to catch the thing. D. It was early evening when the motor stopped, and we were stranded (擱淺 ). We started to shout in the hope that somebody would hear us。 we knew the sound could travel because of the water being very flat and calm. E. Eventually, people in a fishing boat heard us screaming, and came alongside, and a fisherman tied our boat up to his. He was very careful, or he seemed to be, and he and my father handed first us kids, and then mother, through to his boat, and our rowing boat was towed behind. F. This monster started bashing our boat, which began rocking from side to side. We were just terrified because the boat was by now rocking so much we thought we were going to be tipped into the water and bitten up by this thing. I remember assuming that we were going to die. 第三部分：寫作（共兩節(jié)，滿分 40 分） 第一 節(jié)：短文改錯(cuò)（共 10小題；每小題 1 分，滿分 10 分） 下面短文中有 10處語言錯(cuò)誤。請?jiān)谟绣e(cuò)誤的地方增加、刪除或修改某個(gè)單詞。 增加 ：在缺詞處加上一個(gè)漏字符號（ ∧ ），并在其下面寫出該加的詞。 刪除 ：把多余的詞用斜線（ \）劃掉。 修改 ：在錯(cuò)的詞下劃一橫線，并在該詞下面寫上修改后的詞。 注意： 1. 每處錯(cuò)誤及其修改均僅限一詞； 2. 只允許修改 10處，多者（從 11處起）不計(jì)分。 A British woman was caught on camera dumped a cat into a rubbish bin.
