　　Tired of all the pushing in supermarkets? Fed up with waiting in endless lines to pay for what you have bought? Angry at wasting time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when you eventually arrive at the store? If this is you, then online shopping is the answer to your dreams of trouble-free(安全可靠的)shopping, Or is it?

　　Online shopping brings its own challenges．Here are a few things to bear in mind when browsing(浏览)various websites．The claim(主张)made by online sites is that shopping online is a safe and secure way to make purchases．The evidence challenges this．In any case, you only have to be the victim of fraud(诈骗)once to experience all the problems that come with this form of stealing．Use only sites that have a trusted history and an excellent reputation．

　　Another problem is the appearance of items in reality is often quite different from what you see on your computer screen．This might not be a problem if you are buying washing up powder but could be a major disappointment when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turns up in green．Also, product descriptions are sometimes simply untrue Perhaps the wisest plan is to purchase items where design and color are not essential to customer satisfaction．

　　Some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes to global warming．Yes, your car can stay parked but how are online goods delivered? Often by some large van porting out carbon monoxide and adding to our already desperate traffic problems．You are also by now becoming increasingly irritated(使烦恼)by the fact that the delivery is late and you have wasted the leave from work you have taken to receive it!

　　Without question, online shopping is here to stay and it has its benefits．However, perhaps it is not as wonderful as some of its supporters claim it to be．

　　I felt encouraged by his words and began to swim more calmly. But my clothes stuck to me like a heavy weight. I could hardly stay above the surface.

　　Counsel saw this.“Shall I cut them?”he asked.

　　With a knife he cut my clothes from top to bottom and took off quickly while I swam for both of us.

　　Then I did the same for Counsel, and we continued to swim near each other.

　　But we were in serious trouble. The crew might not have noticed our disappearance. And if they had, they could not return because the rudder(舵) had broken. Counsel thought of all this, and calmly made his plans. We decided to wait for the ship as long as possible, because we had no other hope of safety. I suggested that we save our strength so that both of us would not be tired out at the same time. This was how we did it: While one of us lay on his back, quite still, with arms crossed and legs stretched out(伸直), the other would swim and push him along. We changed every ten minutes or so. In this way we could swim for hours, perhaps till daylight. The crash(破裂声) of the ship and the whale (鲸) had appeared at about eleven o'clock. We had about eight hours to swim before daylight. This seemed possible, if the sea remained calm.

1．What happened to the man who told the story?

[　　]

A．He and his companion got into the water to test their strength.

B．He jumped into the water to save the broken rudder.

C．He was knocked into the water by his enemy.

D．He was throw into the sea when the ship struck a whale.

2．Why did the two men cut their clothes?

[　　]

A．Because no people helped them to take off their clothes.

B．Because they couldn't take off their clothes on the sea.

C．Because they wanted to get rid of their clothes quickly.

D．Because they wanted to make lifebuoys (救生圈) with their clothes.

3．What does the word“still”in the last paragraph mean? It means ________.

[　　]

A．not moving

B．even

C．yet

D．however

4．In order to save their strength, ________.

[　　]

A．one of them pushed the other while swimming and then they changed

B．they both swam calmly

C．they crossed their arms and stretched their legs on the water

D．they lay on their backs instead of swimming

5．Which one of the following is true?

[　　]

A．Neither of the two men was good swimmers.

B．The sea was calm before eleven o'clock that night.

C．The story took place at night.

D．The two men had to swim eight hours to catch up with the ship.

阅读下面短文，从所给四个选项中，选出最佳答案。

　Can trees talk? Yes——but not in words． Scientists have reason to believe that trees do communicate (互通信息) with each other． Not long ago, resear- chers learned some surprising things． First a willow tree(柳树)attacked in the woods by caterpillars(毛毛虫)changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that the caterpillars got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them． Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special vapour — a signal causing its neighbours to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty．

　　　Communication, of course, doesn't need to be always in words． We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands． We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements． Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar(花蜜)for honey． So why shouldn't trees have ways of sending messages?

　　Tom Dyson tried to find out what his new machine could do. One day he fixed the small box to a flowering plant that was growing in a pot. He didn't say anything at all, but he began to think some cruel thoughts.

　　“I'm going to cut off these flowers. They're getting old and ugly. So I'll cut them off…”

　　The needle on the machine climbed quickly from zero to 8, then 10, 12, 15. It stopped at 17. The plant was in trouble! Something was worrying it. Was it fear or sadness? The thought of being cut? The flowers bent their heads. They suddenly looked old and tired, and Tom felt sorry for them.

　　“No, no!”he cried. “I won't cut you. You're my friends. I just want you to grow and be lovely. I'll take you outside, into the sunshine. You'll like that, won't you?”

　　The flowers lifted their heads slowly and seemed to smile at him. The needle returned to zero. Tom put away the machine, picked up the plant and walked outside. It was very nice in the garden that morning.

　　All plants enjoy their owner's love and care and kindness. They know the sound of their voice. They also seem to understand people's thoughts.

　　Once there was an 11-year-old boy who went fishing with his father in the middle of a New Hampshire lake．On the day before bass(巴斯鱼)season opened, they were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms．Then the boy tied on a small silver lure(鱼饵)and put it into the lake．Suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure．His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank．Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water．It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass．

　　The boy and his father looked at the big fish．The father lit a match and looked at his watch．It was 10 p.m.－two hours before the season opened．He looked at the fish, then at the boy．“You’ll have to put it back, son,”he said．

　　“Dad!”cried the boy．“There will be other fish,”said his father．“Not as big as this one,”cried the boy．He looked around the lake．No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight．He looked again at his father．

　　Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed．He threw the huge bass into the black water．The big fish disappeared．The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish．

　　That was 34 years ago．Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City．He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place．

　　And he was right．He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago．But he does see that same fish…again and again…every time he has an ethical(道德的)decision to make．For, as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong．It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult．
