第三部分： 阅读理解（共两节，满分 40 分） （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C,D）中，选出最佳选项。 Mike McClure walked into Sarasota Bay for a little fishing on a beautiful day last April. This afternoon, the water was shallow enough at low tide that McClure could easily walk 100 yards offshore and cast(投）his line in any direction. Near sunset, still without a fish, he decided to turn back. Rather than turn to his earlier course, he chose a more direct path toward shore, thinking the bay wouldn't get deeper along the way. Instead, he was trapped. He tried to walk in different directions, but shallower water eluded(避开）him. Finally, he decided his safest choice was to head straight for land. "Within about five steps, the water was coming in through the top of the waders(高筒防水胶靴）," says McClure. He felt the deadweight of the flooding waders pulling him down and knew that if he didn't get out of them, he would drown. But he failed to kick his way out of the waders. Instead, they pulled him completely below the surface. Back onshore, Eliza Cameron, 19, Loren Niurka Mora, 20, and Caitlin Petro, 20, had been watching McClure fish as they rested on the grass after a long week of classes. They saw McClure go under and then heard him cry, "Help！” The three friends kicked off their shoes and ran into the bay. They were all good swimmers, but all hid a fear that he might pull them down too because they'd have to dive to save him. When they reached him, he'd managed to kick himself out the waders, but his eyes had partly rolled back. Cameron and Mora each hooked an arm under his shoulders, while Petro supported his back and held his hand. Then the three friends tried their best to tug him towards shore. Finally, they all returned to shore safely. 56.Mike McClure didn't turn back by his earlier course because _____. A. He wanted to choose a short course B. His earlier course was dangerous C. He just wanted to take a risk D. He knew where the water was deep 57.What directly trapped Mike McClure in the bay? A. His wrong decision B. The coming high tide C. His waders' being flooded D. The depth of water 58.During the rescue, ____. A. The three women were afraid of being trapped in the water B.Cameron and Petro helped catch Mike McClure's arms C. The three women removed Mike McClure's waders D. Mike McClure still wore his flooding waders

When I recall my experiences of feeling heard and deeply understood by someone, I know how much the experiences helped me to cope with whatever I was dealing with at the time. Caring people who I have turned to in difficult times helped me the most by listening and asking about my feelings. During one of my volunteer jobs at a local HIV and cancer clinic, I found the helpfulness of empathic（感情移入的） listening. As a volunteer I was providing emotional support for people with health related problems. Empathic listening really made a difference on how patients felt about their health problems. By sharing about their pain and suffering and may willingness to listen, they felt less alone. We can make life easier for each other by becoming a better listener and encouraging each other to share our feelings. We can become a better listener by avoiding giving advice and trying to solve problems unless we are asked to do so. Pressuring others to solve their life problems--"our ways"--is not helpful. Most people intuitively(凭直觉地） know how to solve their own problems. As a listener it's important to be patient and not to interrupt the speaker. Let them know it's OK to talk about their feelings and support them in feeling their feelings. When one neither shares nor reaches out for support, he or she can remain a lonely mystery. Life can feel lonely when one keeps everything inside. Feeling alone with life problems can be worse than the problem itself. When we let a caring person listen to our life struggle, we will no longer feel alone with our struggle. Don't be afraid to ask your loved ones to take time to hear you out. Sometimes you have to ask for it. People cannot read your mind. Confiding in others can have a positive effect on our mood. 59.What made the author comfortable in difficult times? A. Persuading B. Sharing C. Apologizing D. Complaining 60.According to the second paragraph, we can know that ____. A. The patients enjoyed listening to the author B. The author found empathic listening was helpless C. The patients didn't get on well with the author D. The author did a good job at a cancer clinic 61.What does the underlined part "Confiding in others" in the last paragraph mean? A. Telling others your secrets. B. Reading others' mind C. Listening to others. D. Leaving others alone. 62.What's the main idea of this passage? A. Listening and sharing can make you happier. B. People know how to solve their own problems. C. It is wrong to give advice to solve problems. D. You should learn to believe in other people.
