     On a recent morning in Clearwater, Florida, Maja Kazazic jumped down into water. From a distance, the
dolphin seemed friendly enough. Still, Kazazic felt a little panic slide into her excitement. In spite of her fear,
she felt strong wearing her new leg.
     In second grade in Bosnia, Kazazic lost her cousin, Jasmina. Kazazic promised she would honor Jasmina
by swimming with a dolphin, an animal that both girls loved. "Jasmina never got the chance to do it," says
Kazazic,"so I decided that someday I'd do it for her."
     However, in 1993, during the Bosnian civil war, Kazazic was badly injured. Her left leg was cut just below
the knee and she received her first artificial (人工的) leg in the US. Because there was so little bone left, and
with her right leg also damaged, walking was rather painful, but she managed to graduate from college. She
was able to play golf or tennis.
     Then one day a young dolphin, Winter, who had lost her tail, caught Kazazic's eye. Trainers were fitting
Winter with a high-tech tail. When they were done, Winter dashed off through the water.
     Kazazic was excited. If she can do this, there's no way I can't, she thought. Within ten days, she had a
new leg with the help of the inventor. Eight months later, Kazazic was ready to keep the promise. "After being
in a war, this should be a piece of cake," Kazazic said as she lowered herself into the tank. Then and there the
two went on an hour-long swim around the pool.
     When Kazazic climbed out, she quietly said, "I feel like I owed (欠) somebody something, and now I've
paid my debt." Out in the parking lot, she got into her car and cried till she lost her voice.
1. Which of the following might serve as the best title of the passage?
[     ]
A. Kazazic's Promise.
B. Jasmina's Death.
C. Kazazic's Debt.
D. A Dolphin's Tail.
2. What does the underlined word "panic" mean in the first paragraph?
[     ]
A. Fear.
B. Surprise.
C. Excitement.
D. Satisfaction.
3. Which is the correct order of the following events?
    a. Kazazic was treated and received a new leg in the US.
    b. Kazazic made a promise to swim with a dolphin.
    c. Jasmina died in Bosnia when Kazazic was in second grade.
    d. Kazazic overcame difficulties and carried out her promise.
    e. Kazazic was badly injured in her legs during the war.
[     ]
A. b, c, e, a, d
B. b, e, c, d, a
C. c, b, e, a, d
D. c, e, b, d, a
4. Kazazic cried in her car after she swam with the dolphin because _____.
[     ]
A. she was sad her cousin couldn't do it with her
B. she was excited her promise had come true
C. she was afraid she would lose the other leg
D. she was proud she didn't owe money to anybody

閱讀理解。
     On a rainy day, you will see many streams of muddy (多泥的) water running down the slopes (山坡) of
a hill. The water is muddy because it washes away soil from the hill slopes.
      Sometimes soil is blown away by strong winds. When the soil is carried away by water or wind, we say
that the land is eroded (侵蝕). This is known as soil erosion.
      Plants cannot grow on eroded land. There is not enough soil on eroded land to give them the things they
need. Plants need water and salts from the soil. 
      We can do a number of things to stop soil erosion. This is called soil conservation (保護(hù)).
      One way of soil conservation on flat, open ground is to grow small plants such as grasses. Their roots
hold the soil tightly together. Another way is to plant trees around an open field. Thus soil erosion by strong
winds cannot take place. Rows of trees act as a very big wall.
      Soil erosion on slopes can be stopped by cutting "steps" called terraces (梯田). Water carrying soil cannot
run straight down the slope now. It has to run down the terraces. This slows down the flow of the water.
Most of the soil in the water is left behind on the terraces.
      There are some other ways of soil conservation.
1. On a rainy day the water running down the slopes of a hill is muddy because _____.
[     ]
A. there is no terrace on the slopes
B. there is no small plant on the slopes
C. it washes away soil from the slopes
D. there is too much soil on the slopes
2. Plants cannot grow on eroded land because _____.
[     ]
A. there is a lot of sand
B. there is not enough water and salts
C. there is no water
D. the land is too hard
3. One way of soil conservation on flat, open ground is _____.
[     ]
A. to grow small plants such as grasses
B. to plant trees around an open field
C. to add fertilizer to the soil
D. A and B
4. From the passage we learn that there are _____ ways to reserve soil.
[     ]
A. only three
B. two
C. more than three
D. six
