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 12-year-old 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 (回憶). "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 (碼頭)," 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 30minutes, they reached the pier.
1.Why did the two boys go to the sea?
A. To go boat rowing. B. To swim in the open water.
C. To get back their football. D. To test the umbrella as a sail.
2.What does "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The beach. B. The wind.
C. The boat. D. The water.
3.Why did Tim raise his head regularly?
A.To check his distance from the boys.
B.To consider turning back or not.
C.To take in enough fresh air.
D.To ask the boys to take down the umbrella.
4.How did the two boys finally reach the pier?
A. They were carried to the pier by Tim on his back.
B. They swam to the pier all by themselves.
C. They were washed to the pier by the waves.
D. They were dragged to the pier by Tim.
1.C
2.B
3.A
4.D
【解析】
試題分析：本文講述了描述了兩個孩子劃船出海撿球遇險，Tim勇敢地游泳去營救的故事。
1.細節題：根據第二位段第一句“Two 12-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search for a football”兩個12歲男孩 Christian 和Jack劃船去找一個足球。故選C。
2.推理題：no match for“無法對抗；不敵”，定位原文中的it，閱讀其上文可知，綁在船上的傘利用了風力將船帶入開闊的水域，孩子們慌了，盡力往岸邊劃，但卻抵不過它，船失控了。因此，it指的是“the wind”。故選B。
3.細節題：根據第五段中“ Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress”可知，Tim抬頭是為了判斷自己的進程。故選A。
4.細節題：根據第八段中“Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier.”可知，Tim 將兩個孩子拖回了碼頭，A項中的“drag”與原文“pull”同義。故選D。

With so many other ways to get information these days, do we still need books? Old habits die hard, and are passed down from generations. If your parents read to you, the chances are you will read to your children and so on. Well, that is an ideal world.
I think it comes from the educational side of life. If you have a good experience in school with books, then reading on after school years won't be a problem. For me I did very well in English language and literature as I had an inspiring and interesting English teacher who let us write our stories freely without correcting our spelling right away. The creative side of you should always come first and then the technical errors can be corrected.
Starting reading early is very important to children's relationship with books. If you casually read to your children then the books will have always been there in their lives and by the time reading comes along at the age of 4－5 years old it will all be fun and start to make sense. It has to be said that books are vital to learning.
Getting information and searching on the Internet is fine and necessary at this moment but it requires reading and reading requires practice, I believe we should relax whilst learning and digesting facts and information, and this can only be done with the simple book. Learn the basic habit of reading a book and then expand on and use the technology available, like e－books to make things convenient. But when you're not in a rush or whilst on a sunny beach, spending time with your children, what could be better than holding that book in your hands and feeling the achievement of getting to the last page?
1. The author of the passage thinks that ________.
A. the habit of reading should be passed down from generations
B. books are less important with so many other ways to get information
C. reading to children has become an old habit
D. it's difficult to get children to read books today
2. We can conclude from the second paragraph that ________.
A. children can develop the good habit of reading by themselves
B. it's not necessary to correct children's errors in reading
C. reading on after school years is becoming a difficult problem today
D. a good teacher can cultivate the habit of reading
3. According to the third paragraph, if you casually read to your children, they will ________.
A. form the habit of reading in time
B. have no idea of their relationship with books
C. lose the interest in reading books later
D. realize the importance of reading by the age of 4
4. What is the author's attitude towards the Internet?
A. He thinks it can only ruin people's pleasure in reading.
B. He thinks it is an important way to get information.
C. He thinks it will replace traditional books.
D. He believes we should limit the use of it.
5. We learn from the last paragraph that ________.
A. reading e－books is a better way to digest facts and information
B. the technology available can help us learn the basic habit of reading books
C. reading books on a sunny beach is only a way to kill time
D. reading can be a great pleasure when you are not in a hurry
