( The Letter “ A ” )(七)阅读理解(20%)(A ) Few people now remember the sinking of the great passenger ship Colossus exactly fifty years ago. The number who were actually saved from her was small, and some of those have died in the years ever since, so that those who are still alive today can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Then you will easily understand why I have been asked to write about that sad day in 1912. The Colossus, then the largest ship in the world, was thought by people at that time to be unsinkable. Yet, when she hit an iceberg in thick fog in the North Atlantic Ocean, she actually disappeared in less than twenty minutes, taking nearly fifteen hundred people with her. My own life was saved by my youth. Being only a boy of fourteen, I was one of those lucky women and children who, according to custom, were allowed to get away first from the sinking ship. The selfless crew packed some sixty of us into a small boat, and lowered it into the angry sea. But during the ship’s last minutes, more and more passengers, as their last hope of escaping death, threw themselves wildly into the sea and tried to scramble aboard our boat, with the result that it finally turned over and we all found ourselves struggling for our lives in the water. But I was strong enough to swim for three hours in the icy water before a passing steamer picked me up.1.“ at that time ” meansA. that sad dayB. in 1912C. todayD. within twenty minutes2.“ My own life was saved by my youth ” meansA.his life was saved by another young man on the shipB.he was saved because he was youngC. a passing steamer picked him upD.only boys were saved3.People at that time thoughtA.nothing could sink the ColossusB.only an iceberg could sink herC.nothing could sink her, but she might disappearD.it would take longer than twenty minutes to sink her4.The writer was asked to write the story because heA.was now the only person alive who had seen the ship sinkB.was only a boy of fourteen when she sankC.had been on the ship when it hit the icebergD.had felt sad when the ship sank5.“ we all ” meansA. fifteen hundred peopleB. the selfless crewC. those who are alive todayD. those in the small boat(B) Donovan, who had broken one of his arms the week before, was sitting at lunch in a restaurant. He managed the soup without much trouble, but then he came to the main course and seemed to be having some difficulty cutting the meat. “ Miss! ” he called to the waitress, “ I’m very sorry, but do you think you could possibly help me to--?”“ Well, indeed! ” the surprised girl exclaimed, “ We’re not paid here to be your mothers, you know!” But as she came nearer and saw what was the matter with him, her face became red, and she added, “ Oh, I’m sorry,sir. You see, I didn’t notice--”“ That’s all right, ” said Donovan. “ It is a rather strange request. I know.” The waitress came to his side and did as she had been asked. “ Would you mind telling me how you did it?” She enquired. “ I’m afraid you’ll laugh at me, if I tell you,” Donovan replied. “ It was like this. The other day I dropped the soap while I was getting out of the bath, stepped on it, and half a second later there I was, lying on my back, as helpless as a new-born bay.”“ What bad luck, sir,” commented the waitress, who now felt really sorry for her customer . “ Let me know if you need any help with the sweet course, won’t you? ”1.When he was eating his lunch, DonovanA.couldn’t do anything for himself at allB.could still do some things for himselfC.could do everything for himself, if he wanted toD.was as helpless as a new-born baby2.The face of the waitress became red becauseA.she was surprised and angryB.she was ashamed and sorryC.she had to stand near DonovanD.cutting the meat made her feel hot3.Donovan said he was like a new-born baby because heA.was in a bathB.couldn’t get out of the bathC.had dropped the soapD.couldn’t cut the meat4.Which is true?
