阅读下列短文,掌握其大意,然后从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出最佳选项。

  A 57-year-old woman was hurt yesterday by“a huge black cat”, as she was walking her two dogs near Bodmin Moor in the West Country. Local police are looking into her story, which follows a lot of similar reports in the area in recent months. Residents and visitors to the West Country have been warned to keep away from the Bodmin area.

  Mrs Williams, the wife of a local farmer, described the cat as“just like something out of the jungle. It was jetblack all over with a white-tipped tail. It had short legs but was very strong.”More details were not available, as the creature moved too fast and MrsWilliams only managed to take a short look at it. The incident happened when Mrs Williams was taking her dogs for a walk, as she always does on Sunday morning. Suddenly something struck her really hard on the back of the head, causing her to fall to the ground, stunned.

  “When I came to, there was a huge black cat staring down at me with its glittering, green eyes. I got the fright of my life, I can tell you,”said Mrs Williams.“It was a frightening experience,”she told reporters, as she sipped a cup of tea to calm her down, still visibly shaken.“If it hadn't been for my Labrador, it would have savaged me to death. It was about six feet long, the size of a large Alsa-tian (a kind of dog).”Mrs Willians' description matches that of other eye witnesses in incidents involving strange creatures in various parts of the country.

  More police have been trying to track the“Beast of Bodmin”, since it was first spotted some years ago, but they have so far come up with nothing except for a few very large animals tracks and a trail of dead sheep. Claims that the creature was sighted in a school playground recently are being investigated (调查).“Our policy is to look into all reports of this sort, however ridiculous,”said Chief Constable(警察局长) John Witmoor.

  Investigations are still going on and local police have brought in zoologists to help them with the hunt for the“Beast of Bodmin”. Meanwhile, local people and visitors to the area have been warned not to walk alone on the moor. Parents have been advised to keep their children at a safe distance from the area. Motorists have also been asked to keep an eye out for anything unusual and to report sightings to the police immediately.

[  ]

A.Mrs Williams' dog      B.the black cat

2.In order to find the creature, the police _____.

Scars of Love

Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks and shirt as he went.

He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator(短吻鳄) was getting close. The mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In great fear, she ran toward the water, yelling to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him. From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched (抓住) his legs. That began an unbelievable tug-of-war (拔河比赛) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, rushed from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.

Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred (留下伤疤) by the terrible attack of the animal. And on his arms, were deep scratches where his mother’s fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.

The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy after the trauma (外伤), asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted the pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, “Look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mum wouldn’t let go.”

You and I can identify with (认同) that little boy. We have scars, too. Not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret. But, some wounds, my friends, are because we have refused to let go.

56. The underlined part “the two” in the second paragraph refers to ______.

   A. the alligator and the mother         B. the mother and the son

C. the driver and the alligator          D. the son and the alligator

57. From the passage we can infer ________.

   A. The mother was unwilling to let the alligator go

   B. The mother was actually stronger than the alligator

   C. The son was proud of his scars on his arms

   D. The son was ashamed of his scars on his legs

58. According to the last paragraph, what is the writer’s real meaning?

   A. To forget the past is to betray.       B. We should forget the scars.

   C. Wounds are different from scars.     D. We should learn to let go sometimes.
