“All I could see was two sets of red eyes below me,” said Dave Gatty, an Australian farmer who spent seven days up a tree in remote bush land to escape crocodiles. Gatty, 52, said he was forced to take such drastic action after he accidentally went into a crocodile-infested area of Queensland. He only had two meat sandwiches to keep him going, as crocodiles moved beneath his tree each night until his rescue. Gatty said he decided it was safer to hold out for a rescue team than try to make a run for it. His problems began after he fell off his horse while out in the northern Australia outback. Dazed and bleeding, he climbed back on his horse and hoped it would lead him home. It was only when he regained his senses he realized that he had been taken into crocodile-infested area. “I had to get off the horse and I fell straight into a crocodile nest,” he told reporters. 
“That frightened me. I couldn’t go back, it was too far and too dangerous, so I headed to the nearest high ground and stayed there, hoping someone would come and find me before the crocs did.”
Gatty explained how each night two crocodiles would sit at the bottom of the tree staring at him. Although Gatty’s two sandwiches ran out after three days, he was able to get running water during the day and knew rescuers were looking for him as he could see helicopters in the air above his tree.
“If I hadn’t seen the crocs circling me, and if I hadn’t fallen into the croc nest, I would have made a push for it. But I knew the safest thing was for me to sit and wait,” he said. A chocolate bar, given to him by rescuers after being moved to safety by using a winch(卷扬机), “was like a gourmet (delicious)meal,” he said.
小题1:Gaddy felt _______ when he found himself trapped in the crocodile- infested area.
A.panicked but optimisticB.nervous and hopeless
C.upset and regretfulD.frightened but calm
小题2:Which of the following did not help Gatty survive the accident?

解析

试题分析:本文讲述了一个Gaddy的人以外陷入鳄鱼出没的地区,危机丛丛,他惊恐不已但机智镇静,最后得以营救的故事。
小题1:从第二段第一句That frightened me及该段中so I headed to the nearest high ground and stayed there, hoping someone would come and find me before the crocs did.”说明Gaddy惊恐害怕但是很镇静,故选D
小题2:从最后一段A chocolate bar, given to him by rescuers after being moved to safety by using a winch,说明A chocolate bar是在Gaddy被营救之后营救人员给他的,故在他被营救过程中没有起作用,故选C。
小题3:从第一段第五行His problems began after he fell off his horse可确定d排在最前面,故排除AC,再根据第一段第六行he climbed back on his horse and hoped it would lead him home... he had been taken into crocodile-infested area可确定正确答案为B
小题4:本文主要讲述Gaddy被陷入鳄鱼出没的地区,最后得以营救的故事,故选答案A。

My eighth grade consisted of 28 classmates. We knew each other so well that most of us could distinguish each other"s handwriting at a glance. Although we grew up together, we still had class outcasts.From second grade on, a small group started harassing (***扰) two or three of the others.I was one of those two or three, though I didn"t know why.In most cases when children get picked on, they aren"t good at sports or they read too much or they wear the wrong clothes or they are of a different race.But in my class, we all read too much and didn"t know how to play sports.We had also been brought up to carefully respect each other"s race.This is what was so strange about my situation.Usually, people are made outcasts because they are in some way different from the larger group.But in my class, large differences did not exist.It was as if the outcasts were invented by the group out of a need for them.
The harassment came in the form of laughter when I talked, and rolled eyes when I turned around.If I was out on the playground and approached a group of people, they often fell silent.Sometimes, someone would not see me coming and I would catch the tail end of a joke at my expense.
There was another girl in our class who was perhaps even more rejected than I.She provided the group with a lot of material for jokes.One day one popular girl came up to me to show me something she said I wouldn"t want to miss.We walked to a comer of the playground.Three or four girls there were reading aloud from a small book, which I was told was the girl"s diary.
I sat down and, laughing till my sides hurt, heard my voice finally mixed with the others.Often being accepted by others is more satisfying than being accepted by oneself, even though the satisfaction does not last.Looking back, I wonder how I could have participated in making fun of this girl when I knew perfectly well how it felt.If I were in that situation today I would react differently, but I can"t honestly be sure.
小题1:The author was made an outcast because ____.
A.she couldn"t play sports as well as others
B.her classmates needed to find an outcast her
C.her classmates found her clothes funny
D.family belonged to a minority group
小题2:How was the author treated as an outcast?
A.She was refused to approach others.
B.No one responded to her talking.
C.She was often the target of teasing.
D.Her diary was often made public.
小题3:What did the author do to the girl mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A.She showed great sympathy with the girl.
B.She found more materials about the girl for jokes.
C.She stopped the others from hurting the girl.
D.She joined others in making fun of the girl.
小题4:What does the passage intend to tell us?
A.Everyone is likely to become an outcast.
B.We shouldn"t hit a person when he is down.
C.Everyone has a desire to be accepted by others.
D.One should pay somebody back in his own way.
