Whenever possible, I got shifts working the Point known for its massive and natural rip currents(离岸流)．‎ In a shift, I was working Tower 15. Mike was working Tower 17. He phoned me, “I got a couple of kids. I have to give them a warning. Keep an eye on us.”‎ As soon as he hung up, he grabbed his life belt. A rip was torn open under these two kids, and they were getting sucked in. All I saw was two small noses moving up and down in the wavy water.‎ I dropped my binoculars(双筒望远镜) calling, “Double rescue 17—he's out. I'm going.” Mike was already hitting through the surf line. Realizing what happened, the mother was on her feet screaming. At that time, Mike swam sideways out of the rip current into the clear water. Exhausted, the children couldn't move. So Mike's carrying them, one under each arm. Meanwhile, I saw the terror start to flow over her.‎ She looked at Mike. A kind of panic washed over her as though some new, equally dangerous threat was on her kids' lives. She rushed up to Mike, snatched her kids and walked away. Not even a thank－you.‎ Mike had a rough upbringing. He had frightening tattoos, and his shaved head showed the scar from a broken beer bottle. I didn't really get along with Mike. But everything he lacked in personal relationship skills, he more than made up for in lifesaving ability.‎ Having a young son and daughter, I couldn't even imagine the depth of her terror, so I sympathized with her.‎ Anyway, I promise myself I will never let my own fear or prejudice prevent me from recognizing a real hero.‎ 语篇解读：本文主要讲述了作者曾经的同事解救处于危险中的儿童的故事。‎ ‎1．At the sight of Mike, the mother felt ________.‎ A．excited B．depressed C．anxious D．terrified ‎[解析]　细节理解题。根据第五段的第二句“A kind of panic washed over her as though some new, equally dangerous threat was on her kids' lives”可知，孩子的妈妈看到Mike时，感到很害怕，于是连一声谢谢都没有说就带着被救的孩子离开了，故选D。‎ ‎[答案]　D ‎2．The underlined word “upbringing” in the sixth paragraph can be understood as ________.‎ A．caring B．raising C．treating D．building ‎[解析]　词义猜测题。根据第六段的第二句可知，作者的同事Mike身上有吓人的纹身，头上有啤酒瓶留下的疤痕，故可推知此处应选B。raise“抚养，养育”。‎ ‎[答案]　B ‎3．Which word can best describe Mike's act?‎ A．Sociable.

One moment I was joyfully riding through the sunshine. The next moment, metal, flesh and bones were spreading against the pavement in a thunderous crash. Another cyclist, biking carelessly, had cut me off and sent me supermanning toward oncoming traffic.‎ As if to symbolize the accident that had hit my life, another disaster also occurred on April 14th, 2010. It cost the airline industry $1.7 billion. Ten million travelers were stuck for days. Economics all over the world were disturbed. This was the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull, one of Iceland's many volcanoes.‎ However, volcanoes are not all bad. In fact, they are necessary. They are responsible for the birth of new earth, and for the creation of rich soil. This eruption gave off 0.15 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere daily. But cancelling 48% of the world's flight travel saved about 2.8 million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere, temporarily decreasing our carbon footprint.‎ Similarly, the accident had badly affected my emotion but it also allowed me to look more closely inside myself and discover things about myself I would never have realized. I learned how not to judge myself for my new limitations.‎ In 1973, another Icelandic volcano, Eldfell, broke out. Icelanders decided to bomb it with cold water until it froze and chose a different ‎ path. After their plan worked, they used the geothermal (地热的) energy for the next 15 years to heat their homes. A good example of life bringing lemons, and making lemonade! One must move on from misfortunes, focusing only on the present moment and being hopeful for the future.‎ I ran from April 14th, 2010, to every kind of escape. Eventually I ended up in university for a new－found love in Earth sciences.‎ 语篇解读：作者把自己遭遇突发事件和火山爆发这种自然灾害进行类比，说明遭遇到不幸也有好处，面对现实情况要乐观积极。‎ ‎5．What happened to the writer on April 14th, 2010?‎ A．He was involved in a car crash.‎ B．He was stuck in an Iceland's airport.‎ C．He witnessed a volcanic eruption.‎ D．He was badly injured on a bike ride.‎ ‎[解析]　细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“The next moment, metal... crash”和“Another cyclist, biking carelessly, had cut me off and sent me supermanning toward oncoming traffic”可知，一个马虎的骑自行车的人撞到了作者，作者遭遇了事故，受伤严重，故D项正确。‎ ‎[答案]　D ‎6．Which was an effect of the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull?‎ A．The economy was cost globally by the eruption.‎ B．Carbon dioxide increased temporarily.‎ C．Most of the world's planes were held up.‎ D．The earth in Iceland was terribly polluted.‎ ‎[解析]　细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Economics all over the world were disturbed”可知，艾雅法拉火山爆发后，全世界的经济都受到了干扰，即火山的爆发使全球经济受损，故A项正确。‎ ‎[答案]　A ‎7．Why did the writer mention the Eldfell volcano?‎ A．It broke out in Iceland on April 14th as well.‎ B．It symbolized the accident that changed his life.‎ C．It told us to make the best of a given situation.‎ D．It encouraged him to know more about himself.‎ ‎[解析]　推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的“After their plan worked... their homes”并结合“One must move on from misfortunes, focusing only on the present moment and being hopeful for the future”可推知，我们应该充分利用特定的环境。‎ ‎[答案]　C ‎8．What is the best title for the passage?‎ A．Escape from Volcanoes B．Inspiration from Disasters C．Love for Earth Sciences D．Attitude Toward Nature ‎[解析]　主旨大意题。本文作者通过讲述自己遭遇事故和火山爆发带来的好处及坏处，告诉人们要积极应对现实情况，所以选B项。‎ ‎[答案]　B Ⅳ.语法填空 ‎(2017·湖北武汉市高中毕业生四月调研)Sending gifts varies greatly from country to country.
