阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

  The fire again made all the world shocked (震惊). A great fire broke out on April 15, in the town of Mina, only five kilometres from the holiest city of Mecca (圣城麦加), when two million people gathered here for the annual pilgrimage(朝圣).

  It was all started by a gas container when someone was cooking in a camp. The strong wind blew the fire to thousands of camps in just a moment. Many were injured when escaping from the burning camps, for they could not find their way in the heavy smoke and flames(火焰), and some ran the wrong way. The fire lasted for more than five hours before it was put out. Although the firemen arrived shortly after the fire alarm and they were backed by the helicopters, when the fire was at last put out, it was at the cost of 340 lives and 1537 were injured, some of them very seriously.

  About 70000 new camps were put up to help those who lost everything in the fire. An Indian official said more than half of the dead were Indians, the others were from the neighbouring Asian countries.

  The fire was the latest in a long line of tragedies (悲剧) around here. In 1994, people were so crowded that 270 people were found dead and in 1990, an accident left nearly 1500 dead.

Scars of Love

Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks and shirt as he went.

He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator(短吻鳄) was getting close. The mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In great fear, she ran toward the water, yelling to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him. From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched (抓住) his legs. That began an unbelievable tug-of-war (拔河比赛) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, rushed from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.

Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred (留下伤疤) by the terrible attack of the animal. And on his arms, were deep scratches where his mother’s fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.

The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy after the trauma (外伤), asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted the pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, “Look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mum wouldn’t let go.”

You and I can identify with (认同) that little boy. We have scars, too. Not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret. But, some wounds, my friends, are because we have refused to let go.

56. The underlined part “the two” in the second paragraph refers to ______.

   A. the alligator and the mother         B. the mother and the son

C. the driver and the alligator          D. the son and the alligator

57. From the passage we can infer ________.

   A. The mother was unwilling to let the alligator go

   B. The mother was actually stronger than the alligator

   C. The son was proud of his scars on his arms

   D. The son was ashamed of his scars on his legs

58. According to the last paragraph, what is the writer’s real meaning?

   A. To forget the past is to betray.       B. We should forget the scars.

   C. Wounds are different from scars.     D. We should learn to let go sometimes.
