]Ⅰ.阅读理解AIt was the summer of 1998 and I was trying to study hard for my engineering degree. I went up to the roof for a break and watched people swimming in the natural rock pool below our house. It was a sunny day. But as I looked into the distance, I discovered a series of three or four big waves racing towards the shore. They must have been at least four meters high and were heading at speed in the direction of the pool. From the screams that started coming from the beach, I could tell someone was in trouble.Without thinking, I held my bodyboard (冲浪板) and shouted at a stranger to call the lifeguards (救生员). My neighbor Moises had heard the screaming as well and was also outside with his bodyboard, so together we rushed to the sea.Once we got closer, we discovered two people floating about 400 meters out. Waiting for help wasn't a choice. I didn't think twice about trying to save them. When we finally reached them 10 minutes later, they were almost lifeless, pale and motionless. We could tell they were still alive from their small breaths. We put them on our boards, patted their faces to wake them up, telling them to be strong, all the while swimming hard to keep ourselves afloat.Thirty minutes later, I began to feel a bit afraid and tired. Finally, a small boat with three lifeguards headed towards us. When the boat pulled up, we helped push the couple on board, only to be told that there was no room for us. It seemed pretty unprofessional (不专业的) to leave us there—we were a couple of miles from the shore.I didn't feel like a hero. I'm sure that anyone who could swim would have done the same thing.文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文。

B(2016·洛阳市统一考试)Some people like modern art, while others say that is rubbish.But a cleaner who works in the Tate Gallery in London isn't able to tell the difference.The woman, whose name isn't known, mistook a work of art by the German painter Gustav Metzger for a bag of rubbish, andthrew it out with other bags. The plastic bag, which contained pieces of paper and cardboard, was later recovered outside the gallery, but the artist thought that it was too damaged to be put on show again. 78-year-old Mr Metzger explained that the exhibit, which he said was a copy of a similar work he had created in 1960, was meant to show that all art is temporary and “finite (有限的)”. Embarrassed officials at the museum said that they had had to call a meeting with cleaners to explain which things should not be touched. They would not say whether Mr Metzger would be paid any compensation for the incident. However, to make absolutely sure the same thing would not happen again, they decided to cover Mr Metzger's work every evening with a coloured cloth. In this way the cleaners arriving after the gallery had been closed to the general public would realize they should not touch it.This is not the first time that museum cleaners have had trouble distinguishing exhibits from rubbish. In 2001, in another London gallery, a cleaner threw away a work by the well-known British artist Damien Hirst. It was an arrangement of empty beer bottles, coffee cups, and overflowing ashtrays, which were meant to indicate the chaos in the life of an artist.However, cleaners don't always throw things away — sometimes they clean them! This was the case with a dirty bath, which was on show in a gallery in Germany. Without asking what the bath was doing in the gallery, the cleaners simply scrubbed it clean.1.The officials of the museum covered Mr Metzger's work so that ________.A.the visitors couldn't get close in the eveningB.they could get recovered soonC.the cleaners wouldn't make the same mistakeD.they would return to normal2.Which of the following is NOT true?A.People have different opinions on modern art.B.Mr Metzger would be paid much compensation.C.A work of Damien Hirst was thrown away by a cleaner in 2001.D.Some modern work is about the chaos of an artist's life.3.The last paragraph is written to show that________.A.cleaners often make exhibits as clean as possibleB.cleaners can't always differ exhibits from rubbishC.exhibits are usually difficult to cleanD.exhibits are not always so beautiful4.What's the best title of the passage?A.Cleaners mistake modern art for rubbishB.Modern art shouldn't be cleanedC.What makes a great work of artD.Cleaners don't always throw things away1.解析:选C细节理解题。
