Ⅴ.阅读理解
A Japanese Imperial ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Navy submarine(潜艇),thought to be the first one sunk by a US destroyer during the Dec.7,1941 attack on Pearl Harbor,was discovered in an underwater training area in the harbor.
According to the n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ews from NOAA,the sub was one of five that was supposed to slip into Pearl Harbor and wait for the air attack the Japanese.
But one was hit fro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m and sunk by the USS Ward,another washed ashore in Waimanalo,and a third was found in the waters off Oahu in the 1960s.This latest find leaves just one so called small sized submarine unaccounted for.
“The sub was fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )und during a routine training dive in a 20 foot long submarine.The location,a pile of vehicles and other remains left over from the war,is used as a training ground for maneuvering(机动)and locating exercises for submarine,”said John Wilshire,acting director of NURP’s National Undersea Research Center at the University of Hawaii,Manoa.
“We were taking par ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t in an exercise in an area covered witt war remains and there it was,”said Kalvaitis,safety and operations director for NOAA’s National Undersea Research Program.“I can’t believe it.It was like finding the Titanic.”
“A shell hole in the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sub’s tower proved that the sub had been shot down,”NOAA said.Historical accounts of the Pearl Harbor attack mentioned that the Ward fired on a Japanese small sized submarine,but until Wednesday’s find,the story was unproven.
“It was just u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nbelievable,” Kalvaitis said.“You think it can’t be happening,but we recognized it right away.It was in good condition and we got within four feet of the conning tower.”
The 78 foot submari ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ne is sitting upright and is in“good condition”,Kalvaitis said.Two torpedoes still in their tubes provided additional proofs to the submarine’s identity.
Two Japanese sailor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s were aboard the submarine when it sank.Kalvaitis said he did not know what would be done with the submarine,which belongs to the Japanese government.
1.The passage is mainly about________.
A.the war of Pearl Harbor
B.a newly found Japanese Imperial Navy submarine
C.Japanese Imperial Navy submarines in the war of Pearl Harbor
D.the military training of the US navy
2.How many Japanese subs took part in the war of Pearl Harbor
A.Five. B.Two.
C.Three. D.Four.
3.How did Kalvaitis feel when the Japanese sub was found
A.Surprised. B.Pleased.
C.Disappointed. D.Calm.
4.Which of the follo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wing is NOT true about the Japanese midget submarine
A.It was sunk by a US destroyer.
B.It was in good condition when it was found.
C.Two Japanese soldiers were on it when it was sunk.
D.It was found far away from the battlefield of Pearl Harbor.

10.【解析】选C。句意: ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )当最后一批客人离开的时候,我们说有他们的陪伴,我们感到很高兴。A项意为“成员”,B项意为“伴侣,同伴”,C项意为“陪伴,陪同”,D项意为“友谊”,故只有C项符合语境语义。
