第一節(jié)(共15小題;每小題2分，滿分30分)
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D) 中，備出最佳逸項。
A
Our tiny boat was ploughing through(費力穿過) the waves across the Indian Ocean and I was absolutely freezing. The further we got from the shelter of the land,the more I thought how foolish I'd been to come along on this trip.
The pilot of the boat looked almost 60 but,perhaps because of a lifetime on the open sea in the hot sun,was very fit and strbng. I was wondering how he managed to find his way. To me,it seemed difficult enough to navigate a boat without any electronic equipment even on a sunny day.
So at least we were safe. But this was not what we had come along for. A look at the other divers，faces suggested that now they were also doubtflil that we'd ever get the chancy to see a whale shark — these weather conditions were totally unsuitable for diving!None of us spoke. It seemed too much of an effort. Then suddenly the boatman stopped the engine. He said a few words in his own language to the diving instructor,who immediately jumped up from his seat and told us to get ready to dive.
When I jumped into the grey sea,I was sure I wouldn’t see anything. But then …there it was!An enormous whale shark,slowly swimming through the water. I couldn，t believe my eyes — my first whale shark!I hardly dared breathe — I was afraid my streams of bubbles(氣泡) might scare the huge creature away. And the other divers were equally awed. Slowly we approached this huge animal. It was swimming quite slowly and we were able to swim with it,looking at the beautiful markings on its back. I was still holding my breath,telling myself that this huge fish was harmless!Then I reached out and touched it'stroking (輕撫) its thick skin. It was amazing how this giant suddenly gained speed — we watched it as it swam away from us,and a few moments later it was gone.

A. To see a whale shark.
B. To learn how to dive.

D. To save underwater creatures.

B
As a sculptor,Gregory Kloehn often felt his sculptures that stayed in one place for years on end,lacked a meaningful purpose. So he decided to channel his artistic energies into creating homes.
Over the years,he built lots of small houses,bars and restaurants from recycled shipping containers. But the thought of doing the same for the homeless never occurred to him. That idea hit in 2013 when a homeless couple in search of a tarp(防水布) ，knocked at his door. While Gregory did not have a tarp,he did have a small wooden structure complete with a water tank and built-in kitchen that he offered them. They were so grateful for his generosity that Gregory decided to build more for other people in similar situations.
Since starting the Homeless Homes Project in 2013,Gregory has donated ten homes to the most needy. The brightly colored houses that are the size of a regular sofa,are not fancy,but they do provide a safe place for the homeless to sleep in.
Gregory often goes hunting for raw materials by digging through dumpsters(垃圾箱) in an industrial area of Oakland. Everything he finds is usable — refrigerator doors become house doors,pizza delivery bags turn into insulators (隔熱層) , while washing machine doors often serve as windows. Wheels at the bottom allow the homes to move around easily,while pitched roofs (斜屋頂) help make the shelters rain-proof. Gregory says that each mobile shelter which is built with a team of volunteers,costs between $30-$50 in screws,nails,glue,and the gas that he uses to search for materials.
Like any other project,Gregory has seen his fair share of challenges. The original house which inspired the whole movement was firebombed,while another was stolen. One homeless recipient (接受者) sold his home for $80,which has since been used as a dog house. But those incidents are few and far between. Most are thrilled with their houses. A woman named Wonder calls her new home,which is made from an unwanted picnic table,the best one she has had in five years.
6. Gregory decided to create homes because.
A. he had no house of his own
B. he was inspired by other artists
C. he wanted to become an architect
D. he would like to try something different
7. How did Gregory treat the homeless couple who knocked at his door?
A. He invited them to dinner.
B. He gave them some money.
C. He provided a house for them.
D. He offered them what they wanted.
8. The houses Gregory has donated .
A. are made of high-quality material
B. can move around with their owners
C. are built completely by Gregory himself
D. have refrigerators and washing machines inside
9. What can we learn about the Homeless Homes Project?
A. It receives much support from the public.
B. Its (Jonations are all kept in good condition.
C. It was actually created by a homeless couple.
D. Its donations are unpopular with the homeless.
10. How does Wonder feel about her new home?
A. It needs improving.
B. It truly meets her needs.
C. It isn't worth a penny.
