A couple from Miami, Bill and Simone, spent sixty-six days in a life-raft in the seas of Central America after their boat sank. Twenty-one days after they left Mexico (墨西哥) in their boat, they met some whales (鲸鱼). “They started to hit the side of the boat,” said Bill, and then suddenly we heard water.” Two minutes later the boat was sinking. They jumped into the life-raft and watched the boat go under the water.
For twenty days they had tins of food, biscuits, and bottles of water. They also had a fishing-line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water—two things which saved their lives. They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw. Then the line broke. ―“So we had no more fish until something very strange happened. Some sharks (鲨鱼) came to feed, and the fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface. I caught them with my hands.”
About twenty ships passed them, but no one saw them. After fifty days at sea their life-raft was beginning to break up. Then suddenly it was all over. A fishing boat saw them and picked them up. They couldn’t stand up. So the captain and his men carried them onto their boat and took them to Costa Rica (哥斯达黎加). Their two months at sea was over.

When I was sixteen, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children, I learned French at school.

“There is no love which is more sincere than the love of food,” said Anglo-Irish writer George Bernard Shaw. Like Bernard Shaw, many writers e___81___ food very much, and they say and write interesting things about it.
British poet Owen Meredith (1831—1891) learnt a lot about food when he lived in Paris. He famously said, “We may live without friends, we may live without books, but civilized(文明的) men cannot live without
c___82___.”
American writer Mark Twain also wrote a lot about food. “When you have t___83___watermelon,” he wrote, “you know what angels eat.”
American cookbook writer Alice May Brock has some simple rules about food from different c___84___. “If you want to cook international food, it’s easy,” she wrote. “Put tomatoes on the plate and it’s Italian. Use soy sauce and it’s Chinese. A___85___ wine to the recipe (食谱) and it’s French. Sour cream makes it Russian and lemon makes it Greek. But garlic makes it good! Cheers!”
Tea and coffee are even more i___86___ for some people. There is a Chinese saying, “It is better to go without food for three days, than tea for one.”
American President Abraham Lincoln was often rude about the tea and coffee which was served to him. For example, he was in a Washington restaurant one day, and when the main meal was over, a cup of hot l___87___ was placed in front of him. He drank a bit and was clearly angry. “Waiter,” he said, “if this is coffee, please bring me some tea; and if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.”

D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (第88题1分;第89—92题每小题2分;第93题3分,共12分)
If the temperature rises by 5 degrees tomorrow, you will probably take off just one coat. But such a change in the average world temperature would be a serious problem. Many animals and plants would not be able to deal with these changes, and would die.
The UNEP (联合国环境规划署) released the Report 2012 on November 21, 2012. It says that if we don’t take action now, the world temperature will have risen by 3 to 5 degrees by the end of this century.
The report was written by 55 scientists from 20 countries. Scientists have set a goal for greenhouse gases sending out to limit the world temperature rise to only 2 degrees this century. But according to the report, people have already let out 14 percent more greenhouse gases than they should have done.
A large rise in temperatures could be terrible for us and for many other living things on the Earth. Sea levels will rise because higher temperatures will cause melting ice flow into the sea. Large coastal (沿海的) cities such as the Netherlands and Bangladesh could be flooded.
Some plants such as corn and sugarcane (甘蔗) will not grow well in higher temperatures. Some countries, such as Brazil and parts of Africa, will not have enough food. The change may cause less rain and even make some places very dry.
On November 26, people from around 200 nations and regions gathered again in Doha (多哈) for the annual UN climate talks. “Climate change is coming to all human beings and effective actions need to be taken to deal with it,” president of the conference said at the opening ceremony.
