III Reading Comprehension
(A)
I felt encouraged by his words and began to swim more calmly. But my clothes stuck to me like a heavy weight. I could hardly stay above the surface.
Counsel saw this.“Shall I cut them?”he asked.
With a knife he cut my clothes from top to bottom and took them of quickly while I swam for both of us.
Then I did the same for Counsel, and we continued to swim near each other.
But we were in serious trouble. The crew（船员）might not have noticed our disappearance.
And if they had, they could not return because the rudder（舵）had broken. Counsel thought of all this, and calmly made his plans. We decided to wait for the ship as long as possible, because we had no other hope of safety. I suggested that we save our strength so that both of us would not be tired out at the same time. This was how we did it: While one of us lay on his back, quite still, with arms crossed and legs stretched out（伸直）,the other would swim and push him along. We changed every ten minutes or so. In this way we could swim for hours, perhaps till daylight. The crash（破裂声）of the ship and the whale（鲸）had appeared at about eleven o’clock. We had about eight hours to swim before daylight. This seemed possible, if the sea remained calm.
1.What happened to the man who told the story?
A. He and his companion got into the water to test their strength.
B. He jumped into the water to save the broken rudder.
C. He was knocked into the water by his enemy.
D. He was thrown into the sea when the ship struck a whale.
2.Why did the two men cut their clothes?
A. Because no people helped them to take off their clothes.
B. Because they couldn’t take off their clothes on the sea.
C. Because they wanted to get rid of their clothes quickly.
D. Because they wanted to lifebuoys（救生圈）with their clothes.
3.What does the word “still” in the last paragraph mean?
A. not moving B. even C. yet D. however
4.In order to save their strength,______.
A. one of them pushed the other while swimming and then they changed
B. they both swam calmly
C. they crossed their arms and stretched their legs on the water
D. they lay on their backs instead of swimming
5.Which one of the following is true?
A. Neither of the two men was good swimmers.
B. The sea was calm before eleven o’clock that night.
C. The story took place at night.
D. The two men had to swim eight hours to catch up with the ship
(B)
1970 was World Conservation (自然保护) Year. The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world is in danger. They hoped that governments would act quickly in order to “conserve”nature. Here is one example of the problem. At one time there were 1, 300 different plants, trees and flowers in Holland, but now only 866 remain. The others have been destroyed by modern man and his technology. We are changing the earth, the air and water, and everything that grows and lives. We can't live without these things. If we continue like this, we shall destroy ourselves.
What will happen in the future? Perhaps it is more important to ask“What must we do now?”The people who will be living in the world of tomorrow are the young of today. A lot of them know that conservation is necessary. Many are helping to save our world. They plant trees, build bridges across rivers in forests, and so on. In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned the banks of 11 kilometers of their river. Young people may hear about conservation through a record called“No one's going to change our world”. It was made by the Beatles, Cliff Richard and other singers. The money from it will help to conserve wild animals.
6.“No one's going to change our world”was .
A. an important book published in 1970
B. an idea that nobody would accept

8.What's the main idea of the passage?

B. The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world is in danger.
C. Conservation is necessary.
D. It is the young people who are helping to save our world.
