Professional
diver(潜水者)Michael
Packard
was
swallowed(吞下)
up
whole
by
a
whale.
He
was
trapped
inside
its
mouth
for
nearly
a
minute.
The
whale,
swimming
off
the
coast
of
Provincetown,
Massachusetts,
US,
then
coughed
Mr
Packard
back
up,
according
to
a
report.
Mr
Packard,
56,
was
about
14m
below
the
surface
of
the
water
near
Herring
Cove
Beach
at
8am
on
Friday
when
the
huge
animal
tried
to
turn
him
into
breakfast,
the
Cape
Cod
Times
reported.
“All
of
a
sudden,
I
felt
it
was
completely
black,”
Mr
Packard
said.
“I
could
sense
I
was
moving,
and
I
could
feel
the
whale
squeezing（挤）my
body
with
his
mouth.”
His
first
thought
was
that
he’d
been
eaten
by
a
great
white
shark.
Mr
Packard
said
he
thought
to
himself
“This
is
it,
I’m
gonna
die.”
“I
was
completely
inside
(the
whale),”
Mr
Packard
said.
“I
thought
to
myself,
‘there’s
no
way
I’m
getting
out
of
here.
I’m
done.
All
I
could
think
of
was
my
boys,
they’re
12
and
15
years
old.”
But
when
he
realized
he
could
feel
no
teeth,
he
began
to
struggle
and
felt
the
whale
shaking
his
head
in
discomfort.
Within
40
seconds
the
whale
spat（吐）
him
back
out
into
the
ocean.
“I
saw
light,
and
he
started
throwing
his
head
side-to-side
and
the
next
thing
I
knew
I
was
outside
(in
the
water),”
Mr
Packard
said.
“My
first
thought
was
I
can’t
believe
I
got
out
of
that
situation.
My
second
thought
was
whether
I
was
hurt.”
His
boating
pal,
Josiah
Mayo,
pulled
Mr
Packard
out
of
the
sea,
and
rushed
him
to
a
hospital.
Amazingly,
Mr
Packard
said
he
feels
just
fine
after
his
terrible
getaway.
An
expert
said
the
whale
may
have
swallowed
Mr
Packard
accidentally,
not
seeing
the
diver
while
his
mouth
was
open
wide
to
catch
little
fish.
Which
of
the
statements
is
true
about
Michael
Packard?
He
is
a
young
Professional
diver.
He
was
swimming
when
the
accident
happened.
He
is
a
brave
man.
He
was
badly
hurt
by
the
whale.

the
whale’s
mouth

he
got
out
of
the

这篇文章主要讲述的是奥利弗·戴门(OliverDamen)今年7月20日乘坐太空飞船(太空舱)进行了一次太空旅行。与他同行的还有其他三人，包括年龄最大的女飞行员Wally
Funk。文章最后还介绍曾经进入太空的最年轻和年龄最大的世界纪录保持者。
C细节理解题。由第四自然“joined
82-year-old
woman
pilot
Wally
Funk,
Bezos
and
his
brother
Mark
Bezos.”可知是四人同行。
C
也是细节理解题。从第七自然段可知，在他四岁时他就对太空充满了好奇和痴迷。
D
细节理解题。第一段“with
a
space
man
who
has
become
the
oldest
at
age
82.”和第四自然段“joined
82-year-old
woman
pilot
Wally
Funk...joined
82-year-old
woman
pilot
Wally
Funk...”判断Wally
Funk是当今年龄最大的纪录保持者。
A
词意猜测题。根据上文，本段主要讲述OliverDamen从小痴迷太空，并为实现太空梦做出了自己的努力。
B
主旨大意归纳题。本文不但介绍了18岁男孩Oliver的太空梦，而且也向我们讲述课了其他人追逐太空梦想的故事，例如82岁老人Wally
Funk等，所以只有B选项才能全面概括本文的大意。

这篇文章讲述了美国潜水员Michael
Packard被一只鲸鱼吞进口中，然后又成功鲸口脱险的故事。
C
细节理解题。通过下文可知，Michael
Packard在鲸鱼口中镇定勇敢，奋力挣扎，所以最后得以鲸口脱险。文章最后提到他在被送往医院检查，结果是状况良好，故D不对。
A
段落大意归纳题。通读这一自然段，可知作者在这里讲述的是Michael
Packard被鲸鱼吞进口中的瞬间感受。
C
归纳推理题。下文提到鲸鱼是无意把他吞进口中，最后又把他吐了出来，所以，从某种意义上讲，这也是不幸中的万幸。
B
词意猜测题。当他没有触碰到牙齿的时候，他就奋力挣扎，然后鲸鱼不舒服地摇头，最后把他吐了出来。
A
句意猜测题。本段最后提到Michael
Packard觉得无法逃脱，只能想到自己的两个孩子，可以猜测他当时是绝望的，认为自己没有生还的肯能了。
