D
Three Central Texas men were honored with the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Director’s Award in a Tuesday morning ceremony for their heroism in saving the victims of a fiery two-car accident.
The accident occurred on March 25 when a vehicle lost control while traveling on a rain-soaked State Highway 6 near Baylor Camp Road. It ran into an oncoming vehicle, leaving the passengers trapped inside as both vehicles burst into flames.
Bonge was the first on the scene and heard children screaming. He broke through a back window and pulled Mallory Smith, 10, and her sister, Megan Smith, 9, from the wreckage.
The girls’ mother, Beckie Smith, was not with them at the time of the wreck, as they were traveling with their baby sitter, Lisa Bowbin.
Beckie Smith still remembers the sickening feeling she had upon receiving the call informing her of the wreck and the despair as she drove to the scene.
Bozeman and Clemmons arrived shortly after Bonge and helped rescue the other victims and attempted to put out the fires.
“I was nervous,” Bozeman said. “I don’t feel like I’m a hero. I was just doing what anyone should do in that situation. I hope someone would do the same for me.”
Everyone at the accident made it out alive, with the victims suffering from nonlife-threatening injuries. Mallory Smith broke both femurs(股骨), and Megan had neck and back injuries. Bowbin is still recovering from a broken pelvis(骨盆), ankle and foot.
The rescuers also were taken to the hospital and treated for cuts and smoke breathing, Bonge said.
In addition, Bozeman got to meet accident victim Anthony Russo in the hospital after the accident, where Russo presented him with a glass frame inscribed(刻;雕 )with “Thank you,” Bozeman said. Those involved in that fateful encounter on Highway 6 credited God blessing for bringing them together.
“Whatever the circumstances, Tuesday’s ceremony provided a time to be grateful for those who put their lives on the line for the lives of complete strangers,” Beckie Smith said, “We’re calling it The Miracle on Highway 6.”
53. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Three persons were awarded for rescuing victims in a car accident.
B. Three ordinary people were regarded as great heroes.
C. Several victims were carried to safety from the burning cars.
D. A car accident occurred on a rain-soaked State Highway 6.
54. Who saved Megan Smith from the damaged car?
A. Clemmons. B. Anthony Russo. C. Bozeman. D. Bonge.
55. Which of the following can be used to describe Bozeman?
A. Kind. B. Modest. C. Excited. D. Smart.
56. It can be inferred from what Beckie Smith said that _______.
A. she regarded the accident as a wonder
B. she was frightened by the serious accident
C. she thought highly of the rescuers
D. she called on others to learn from the rescuers

Upon waking up, Jim found himself lying on a stretch of sandy shore with his face half-buried in the sand. He found, that his clothes had been almost torn apart. His arms ached and his body was heavy like stone. Before he could stand up, he was brought to his knees due to exhaustion. As he lay on the sand, he began to study the environment for signs of human activities. But there was nothing except for a few trees and some stones within eyesight.
He remembered how, a few hours before, he had still been struggling for survival in the vast South China Sea. The boat that had carried his friends and him out to sea for a fun fishing trip had run into a terrible storm. James, who was the captain of the boat, and had been at the wheel, lost control of the boat. The boat moved from side to side in the storm. Suddenly, it hit a sharp object, most probably a rock from the sea and was wrecked.
Jim could not remember how he had managed to drift onto land. His friends were not in sight. He was saddened by the fact that they might have all drowned. Then he suddenly saw a thin column of smoke on the far side of a hill. “Could it be a house?” Jim asked himself. Even if it wasn’t, it gave him some fresh hope of surviving the ordeal that he was going through. He struggled on towards the place from where the smoke was rising.
Finally, he found himself at the top of the hill. He saw a little green valley dotted with a few huts and trees in the sun. His eyes were not playing tricks on him. There was a village located at the bottom of the valley. The sight gave him renewed hope. He began to run toward the village with his last ounce of energy.

Throughout seafaring history, ships and sailors have been lost to storms, accidents and war. Until recently, most of these ships were weak wooden sailing vessel (船只), their skeletons(骨架) quickly eaten away by sea creatures. Now, large vessels made of steel float on the seas. Thousands of these huge ships have been lost in times of war and in times of peace.
The bones of great metal ships, unlike the wooden vessels of old, survive the destruction of the sea long enough to become home and harbor for underwater life of all kinds. Shipwrecks(残骸) often provide the only hard surface and structure at the sandy bottom of the sea, something many sea creatures need.
The ship has been underwater for only five days. Its surface is still clean. Six weeks later, the wreck is covered with a slimy layer of algae(海藻), but it is still recognizable as a ship. Soon, animals that need to attach themselves to a hard surface, like the feather duster worms, make the wreck their home.
In warm waters, coral polyps(珊瑚虫) settle on the wreck and begin the process of building a rock-like crust on the ship. Small fish are attracted on all of these creatures. Larger fish come to feed on these small fish that hide in the wreckage. Eventually, the largest animals are attracted to the rich life on the shipwreck.
Shipwrecks give us valuable information about how sea plants and animals develop. We know exactly how long this wreck has been under water and how long sea life has been growing on it. Yet even the strongest steel shipwreck will finally be destroyed by the flows of water. But long after this wreck has been broken apart, it will still act as a reef (礁石). Layer upon layer of sea life has formed a structure that is now more natural than artificial, and will remain an island of life under the sea.
1.Which of the following is NOT TRUE about shipwrecks?
A．Most ships in ancient times sank easily and become shipwrecks.
B．Shipwrecks, for scientists, are worth researching to get valuable information.
C．The skeletons of old wooden shipwrecks will exist for quite a long time.
D．Some sea animals tend to seek food on the shipwrecks.
2.The writer’s purpose in writing the article is to tell us_____.
A．the differences between the ancient vessels and the modern ones
B．how the ships become shipwrecks at sea
C．how coral polyps live on the wreck in warm waters
D．the value of studying shipwrecks at the bottom of the sea
3.Which of the following is closer to the underlined “crust”?
A．a hard outer covering B．the skin of a rock
C．a hole in a ship D．a small house
4.What will happen to shipwrecks in the end?
A．They will be pulled out of the sea for research.
B．They are likely to disappear and form reefs.
C．They will become an island under the sea.
D．They will be like works of art.
