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。

  I’ve traveled much and seen mankind in various forms , but I’m always more surprised by our similarities than our differences.We drink , laugh , eat , sleep and die in more or less the same way everywhere.That we manage to be different at all interests me.And soon these differences too will disappear.We will become one worldwide nationality-and perhaps the better for that-speaking one language , wearing one style of clothes , eating the same food , driving the same car , with the same modern comforts in our homes and the same programs on our television sets.

  This was made clear to me recently on my last trip abroad , when I was travelling in a place that is far away in North African desert.I was coming near to an old castle , which I wanted to see , when suddenly I felt a man behind me.I turned and saw a tribesman (部落人) pointing a gun at me.Neither of us could speak each other’s language.I waved my hands wildly , asking for an explanation , but he just pushed me forward towards a tent standing nearby.I went in , never expecting to see daylight again.The man followed me in.Then he put down his gun on the floor and got a teapot out of his bag.A smile spread across his face.“Tea?”he asked.

  A cup of tea! I who had feared for my life was being offered a cup of tea! Two thousand miles from home the habit was the same , and the teapot was one of British made.I was filled with relief (放松).I felt at that moment that we could solve all the world’s problems by dissolving (溶解) them with sugar in a simple cup of tea!

                                   A

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.
