Ⅳ.阅读理解
I ud to rve as an ocean lifeguard. Whenever possible, I got shifts working the point known for its massive and natural rip currents(离岸流)．
In a shift, I was working Tower 15. Mike was working Tower 17. He phoned me, “I got a couple of kids. I have to give them a warning. Keep an eye on us.”
As soon as he hung up, he grabbed his life belt. A rip was torn open under the two kids, and they were getting sucked in. All I saw was two small nos moving up and down in the wavy water.
I dropped my binoculars(双筒望远镜) calling, “Double rescue 17—he's out. I'm going，” Mike was already hitting through the surf line. Realizing what happened, the mother was on her feet screaming. At that time, Mike swam sideways out of the rip current into the clear water. Exhausted, the children couldn't move. So Mike's carrying them, one under each arm. Meanwhile, I saw the terror start to flow over her.
She looked at Mike. A kind of panic washed over her as though some new, equally dangerous threat was on her kids' lives. She rushed up to Mike, snatched her kids and walked away. Not even a thankyou.
Mike had a rough upbringing. He had frightening tattoos, and his shaved head showed the scar from a broken beer bottle. I didn't really get along with Mike. But everything he lacked in personal relationship skills, he more than made up for in lifesaving ability.
Having a young son and daughter, I couldn't even imagine the depth of her terror, so I sympathized with her.
Anyway, I promi mylf I will never let my own fear on prejudice prevent me from recognizing a real hero.
1．At the sight of Mike, the mother felt ________.
A．excited B．depresd
C．anxious D．terrified
2．The underlined word “upbringing” in the sixth paragraph can be understood as ________.
A．caring B．raising

3．Which word can best describe Mike's act?
A．Sociable. B．Courageous.
C．Fierce. D．Unfriendly.
4．What's the best title of the passage?
A．A Hero in Disgui
B．A Rescue in a Rip Current
C．Prejudice Against the Lifeguard
D．A Terrified and Helpless Mother
答案：[解题导语] 本文主要讲述了作者曾经的同事解救处于危险中的儿童的故事。
1．D 解析：细节理解题。根据第五段的第二句“A kind of panic washed over her as though some new, equally dangerous threat was on her kids' lives”可知，孩子的妈妈看到Mike时，感到很害怕，于是连一声谢谢都没有说就带着被救的孩子离开了，故选D项。
