15."Fish stories"are stories of the greatest fish that a fisherman has almost caught,but for some reason,the fish always get away.Usually,these stories do not have much truth to them.One of the biggest fish stories in history was about a whale.
In 1891,a ship hunting for whales in the South Atlantic Ocean found a very large whale.While the hunters were trying to kill the whale,it sank two small boats.One man died,and another man,James Bartley,was lost in the ocean.However,after the hunters finally killed the whale,they cut open the whale's stomach and found Mr.Bartley inside.He was not dead!
Several weeks later,Mr.Bartley seemed to have got over his terrible experience.The only thing he could remember was that while he was inside the whale,it was very hot.The liquid (液体) from the whale's stomach had turned all of his skin snow white.Mr.Bartley had to live with the effect from the whale for the rest of his life.
Today,many people have heard about the strange experience of Mr.Bartley.But so far not one real fact has been found to prove that the events described by the sailors(水手) ever took place.No scientist or newspaper reporter was ever able to talk to Mr.Bartley,and all of the stories told in magazines about Mr.Bartley's experience were explained by other sailors on the boat.Mr.Bartley was probably not even a real person at all.
In 1928,after the captain (船长) of the whaling ship had died,one man asked the captain's wife about Mr.Bartley's story.The wife said that no man who had sailed on her husband's ship was that lucky after he fell into a whale's mouse.
However,this has not stopped James Bartley's story from being repeated,and many people today still believe that it is true.

38.What made Mr.Bartley's skin white?D
A.The ocean water.
B.The whale's teeth.
C.The heat inside the whale.
D.The liquid in the whale's stomach.
39.Who may have talked to Mr.Bartley?C
A.A scientist.
B.The captain's wife.
C.The sailors on the ship.
D.A newspaper reporter.
40.The captain's wife said thatA.
A.the story was not true
B.her husband told her the story
C.the whale was never found
D.Mr.Bartley didn't work for her husband
41.In paragraph 4and paragraph 5we may know that Mr.BartleyD.
A.became a writer later
B.died when he was young
C.told his story to a magazine reporter
D.was not even a real person at all.

分析 本文叙述了一个名叫Mr Bartley的人被鲸鱼吞下后有活着的故事.没有人证明船员们描述的事情是真实的,而且Mr Bartley的太太说没有人被鲸鱼吞食过,人们猜测这个故事是虚构的.但是仍然有人相信你这个故事是真的.

解答 38.D 细节理解题.根据第三段的The liquid (液体) from the whale's stomach had turned all of his skin snow white.可知鲸鱼肚子里的液体使他的皮肤变成雪白.故选D.
39.C 细节理解题.根据第四段的and all of the stories told in magazines about Mr Bartley's experience were explained by other sailors on the boat.可知Mr Bartley的经历可能是他的船员们讲的,因此可能他的船员跟他谈过话,故选C.
40.A 细节理解题.根据第五段的The wife said that no man who had sailed on her husband's ship was ever swallowed by a whale.可知那个故事不是真的.故选A.
41.D 细节理解题.根据第五段的Mr Bartley was probably not even a real person at all.可知甚至没有Mr Bartley这个人.故选D

点评 做题时要在理解好文意的基础上,与题目有机的结合,从文章中找到相关细节性的句子与选项细细比对,进行选择或推理判断,选出符合文章内容的正确选项.做题注意灵活,有时可采用排除法或直选法确定出最终答案.

To keep up with the times,some popular and widely used internet words are also added to the dictionary.For example,in the 11th edition,the phrases"晒工资 (show off salary)"and"晒照片 (show off pictures)"were included.
All these efforts create the"National Dictionary"of China.The Xinhua Dictionary is not only a useful tool for generations of Chinese people.It also helps foreigners who are learning the Chinese language and culture.
