第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A，B，C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

Once upon a time，the animals decided that they must do something heroic to meet the problems of“a new world”．So they organized a training school．

They adopted an activity curriculum consisting of running，climbing，swimming and flying．To make it easier to manage the curriculum，all the animals took all the subjects．

The duck was excellent in swimming，in fact，better than his instructor，but he made only passing grades in flying and was very poor in running．Since he was slow in running，he had to stay after school and also drop swimming in order to practice running．This was kept up until his webbed(脚蹼) feet were badly worn and he was only average in swimming．But average was acceptable in school，so nobody worried about that except the duck．

The rabbit started at the top of the class in running，but had a nervous breakdown because of so much make-up work in swimming．

The squirrel was excellent in climbing until he developed frustration in the flying class where his teacher made him start from the ground up instead of from the treetop down．He also developed a“charlie horse”and then got a C in climbing and a D in running．

The eagle was a problem child and was disciplined severely．In the climbing class he beat all the others to the top of the tree，but insisted on using his own way to get there．

At the end of the year，an abnormal eel that could swim very well，and also run，climb and fly a little，had the highest average and was the one who gave a good-bye speech．

The prairie dogs stayed out of the school because the administration would not add digging to the curriculum．

A．he only passed in flying

B．he ran very slowly

C．he wasn’t good at swimming

D．he had to practice climbing

57．We can learn from the passage that ________．

A．an abnormal eel’s average score is the highest in all subjects
