John Perry stood up and looked around again. The island had been a good place to find shells. But now how could he make the 21 move out to sea…? If they swam out to sea he could jump in and get to shore 22 they saw him.

He saw the sharks rolling and playing. Their 23 was now gone and they were killing for fun. How could he make them move away?

He drew his knife from his belt. Sharks can 24 blood, he thought. He put the knife against his leg and cut deep into the 25 . The blood ran out and he caught it on his white shirt. When the shirt was red and wet he tied some cloth around his leg to 26 the flow of blood. He then tied a long piece of cloth to the shirt, threw it into the water and 27 it with the piece of cloth.

The sharks smelled the blood and came 28 toward the shirt. He ran down the sand reef pulling the shirt and the sharks raced after it. He was 29 them away from shore. Suddenly he dropped the cloth, turned toward the 30 and ran as fast as he could. He jumped in the water and swam.

He was halfway across 31 he turned to look back. A high bony fin (鳍) was 32 through the water toward him. He put his face in the water and kicked and splashed himself 33 as fast as he could. The shore was near now.

He lifted his head again to 34 and he saw the shore very near. From behind he left the water rush toward him, almost pushing him, helping him. And then a great gray body hit him and almost rolled him over in the water. He touched the shore with 35 and he pulled himself up the stones. The shark, 36 by the smell of blood and the chase (追逐), went wildly after him. Its great body crashed against 37 .

The end came quickly and the water was covered with the shark’s blood. The injured shark was eaten up 38 by others as it tried to escape.

三、阅读理解（满分40分）

第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（共20小题；每小题2分，共40分）

A

Every one of the gymnasts who went to?National Qualifiers (国家冠军赛资格赛) showed up with that goal in mind. Everyone gave it their all.

And I hate admitting it, but I was an exception. I did not do my best. Not for the ribbon exercise, nor for the club exercise. Knowing that I could have reached a little further to catch my ribbon, focused a little more so the stick wouldn’t slip through my fingers, tried a little harder to clean up those errors, but I didn’t, still bothers me.

After?my disappointing competition, I tried my best to keep my eyes dry. But soon tears burned the edges of my eyes, and as I blinked, the first tear rolled down my cheek. Even though I angrily wiped my tears away before she looked at me, the evidence of my self-pity session presented itself clearly in the form of dirty makeup and reddened eyes.

My mom hated to see me cry, especially because I had no right or reason to. I had messed up — that wasn’t anyone’s fault but mine — and crying wouldn’t help at all. “Why are you crying, Amanda?” she asked, perhaps more pointedly (尖刻地) than intended, but I heard the concern in her voice. Unable to form all the emotions into words, I just looked away and avoided her questions.

“Tell me now why you’re crying.” Her voice this time wasn’t as gentle as it was before; it was filled with frustration and impatience. “Why are you crying?” she whispered again, but this time her voice was shaky and flooded with pain. This was the first time I’d ever seen my mom cry; my mom, who was always so strong and was there to encourage me through the roughest times, was now crying, and I was the reason for it. Finding my voice, I tentatively asked, “Why are you crying?”

She looked at me and answered exactly what I was afraid to hear, “I hate to see you hurting yourself.” So it was my fault. I had put those tears in her eyes. I had filled her with pain, with helplessness and with sadness.

I’ll never forget her pained expression. It forced me to realize how shortsighted and close-minded I’d been. I decided that no matter what happens in the future, I will never lose myself to regret.

41. Why did Amanda feel regretful after the competition?

A.?Because she wasn’t admitted to the club.

B.?Because she dropped her ribbon suddenly.

C.?Because she broke the rule of the competition.

D.?Because she didn’t try her best to compete.

42. What did Amanda try to hide on the way back?

A.?Her silent tears.????????? B. The disappointing scores.

C.?Her dirty makeup.??????? D. The evidence of failure.

43. Which words reflect the change
