閱讀理解：

　　Our boat floated on, between walls of forest too thick to allow us a view of the land we were passing through, though we knew from the map that our river must from time to time be passing through chains of hills which crossed the jungle plains．Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed：where the jungle did not actually spread right down into the river, banks of soft mud prevented us going ashore．In any case, what would we have sailed by landing?The country was full of snakes and other dangerous creatures, and the jungle was so thick that one would be able to advance only slowly, cutting one’s way with knives the whole way．So we stayed in the boat, hoping we reached the sea, a friendly fisherman would pick us up and take us to civilization．

　　We lived on fish, caught with home-made net of string(we had no hooks), and fruits and nuts we could pick up out of the water．As we had no fire, we had to eat everything, including the fish, raw I had never tasted raw fish before, and I must say I did not much enjoy the experience; perhaps sea fish which do not live in the mud are less tasteless．After eating my raw fish, I lay back and dreamed of such things as fried chicken and rice, and ice-cream．In the never-ending damp heat of the jungle, ice-cream was a particularly frequent dream．

　　As for water, there was a choice：we could drink the muddy river water, or die of thirst．We drank the water．Men who had just escaped what had appeared to be certain death lose all worries about such small things as diseases caused by dirty water．In fact, none of us suffered from any illness as a result．

　　One day we passed another village, but fortunately nobody saw us．We did not wish to risk being taken prisoners a second time：we might not be so lucky to escape in a stolen boat again．

(1)

What they could see in the boat was only ________．

[　　]

A．

high wall

B．

villagers from time to time

C．

vast land

B．

the forest was too thick to let them go through

C．

they could not find the mark on the map

D．

they could not find anyone to lead them out of the forest．

(3)

The passage infers that the forest was ________．

[　　]

A．

rich of fruits and animals to be served as food

B．

not very thick as they could advance slowly by cutting the branches

C．

full of various dangerous beings

D．

full of ancient trees

(4)

Escape

第三部分：閱讀理解，共兩節(jié)，共40分。
第一節(jié)，閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項中，選出最佳選項。 
After her parents separated, things at Tami’s house changed. Her mom, was busy working, and Tami became responsible for the house and making meals for herself and her younger sister. Though money was tight, they never went without. They had a nice home in a modest neighborhood. What Tami missed most of all, though, was family.
Tami spent the summer during her ninth grade year working at a park to earn exam spending money. Her job was to organize activities for the kids who spent their summer days at the park. The kids absolutely loved Tami. She was constantly going out of her way to do things for them. She would plan picnics, organize field trips and even buy ice cream for all of them, using her own money. She always did more than the job required, even if it did mean using her own money.
She got to know one little boy who lived in an apartment across the street from the park. His parents both worked at fast – food restaurants, and she knew that they didn’t have much money. The boy talked about his upcoming birthday and the fire truck he wanted so badly. He said he was going to be a fireman some day and needed the truck to practice. He told Tami more details about the truck than she knew a boy truck could have.
The boy’s birthday came and went. The next day when Tami saw the boy, she expected to see a shiny red truck in his arms. When he arrived empty – handed, she asked whether he had got the truck. The boy said no. His parents were going to get it for him later, when things were better. He seemed a little sad.
That week, Tami eased her paycheck and headed for the toy stores. She found the truck easily – after all, from his descriptions, she felt she knew it inside out. She used the money from her paycheck to buy the truck, and then had it wrapped in birthday paper.
56. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. They didn’t need worry too much about their living.
B. Tami’s sister became more responsible.
C. Tami began to earn money.  
D. Her mother changed her job.

A. Because he was poorer than she.  
B. Because he was her best friend.
C. Because she wanted him to be a fireman.
D. because she wanted him to feel love around him.

A. She knew how much money she would pay.
B. She knew she should check the toy truck inside out.
C. She was fully aware which toy truck the boy wanted.
