B

When Lina was awoken by the sound of thunder, she was alone on the island. The air was cool

and bullfrogs croaked. It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadn't

yet appeared. Lina rubbed her eyes and looked around.

"Hello?" she called. "Celia? Marie?"

There was no response.

The moon was rising now, shedding light on the island. They had always called it "Forgotten

Island" because no one but they seemed to remember its existence. It wasn't on any of the maps they

could find, and even the forest rangers didn't know about it. Lina loved that the island, hidden in a

heavily-wooded side stream of the river, was a secret between the three friends-her, Celia, and

Marie.

But now Lina was here alone, and it was night. Worse still, it was her own fault.

"Come on, Lina, let Marie row the boat." Celia had said. Marie was two years older than Lina,

but she was a hopeless rower. That's why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island. The

argument that followed the refusal took the usual form. Celia took Marie's side, as she always did.

Lina had exploded and yelled at them to just leave. So they got back in the boat and left.

A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky, accompanied by a deafening thunder clap. The

storm was here. As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck, Lina's mind returned to her current

problem. She was stuck here by herself. She just hoped she didn't become as forgotten as the island.

The thought of it sent a chill（寒意）down her back.

Suddenly, Lina spotted something in the water. It was a boat, and inside it were Marie, Celia,

and Marie's dad, who was steering through the fast flowing waters. As the boat approached, they

saw Lina waving and the worried expressions on their faces turned to relief.

In her excitement Lina jumped into the river. Only once she was in the icy water did she

remember how fast the water was moving. Luckily a strong arm reached into the water and pulled

her out. She smiled weakly at Marie's dad and, without a word, hugged Celia and Marie. They didn't

seem to mind becoming wet.

24．What can be inferred about the island?

A. It is very near the ocean. B. It is a popular place for boating.

C. It is surrounded by thick forest. D. It has never been reached by others.

25. Why did Lina get angry?

A. Marie would not help row the boat.

B. Lina was left alone on the island.

C. Marie didn't know how to row the boat.

D. Celia supported Marie in the disagreement.
