阅读理解(Reading Comprehension)

　　When I was twenty-seven years old, I was a clerk in San Francisco, and an expert at stock(股票)．I was content with the prospect(前景)．

　　One day I ventured in a small boat too far, and was carried out to sea．Just at nightfall, when hope was about gone, I was picked up by a small brig(双桅船)which was bound for London．When I stepped ashore in London my clothes were ragged and shabby, and I had only a dollar in my pocket．

　　About ten o'clock on the following morning, thirsty and hungry, I was dragging myself along Portland Place, when a child that was passing, towed(牵着)by a nurse-maid, threw a luscious(甘甜的)big pear－minus one bite－into the gutter(排水沟)．I stopped, of course, and fastened my desiring eye on that muddy treasure．My mouth watered for it, my stomach craved(恳求)it, my whole being begged for it．But every time I made a move to get it some passing eye detected my purpose, and of course I straightened up then, and looked indifferent(无关紧要的), and pretended that I hadn't been thinking about the pear at all．This same thing kept happening and happening, and I couldn't get the pear．I was just getting desperate(不顾一切的)enough to brave all the shame, and to seize it, when a window behind me was raised, and a gentleman spoke out of it, saying．

　　“Step in here, please．”

　　I was admitted by a well-dressed flunkey(仆役)，and shown into a sumptuous(华丽的)room where a couple of elderly gentlemen were sitting．They sent away the servant, and made me sit down．They had just finished their breakfast, and the sight of the remains of it almost overpowered me．I could hardly keep my wits together in the presence of that food, but as I was not asked to sample it, I had to bear my trouble as best I could．

The Spanish exploration was the beginning of the history of San Francisco Harbor. That long history is celebrated at the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park. The park’s main visitor center is only a few hundred meters from the waters of the great harbor. It is a memorial to the great ships and those who sailed them.

The visitor center holds many objects linked to the past of the great harbor. There are small ships, ship equipment, and hundreds of beautiful old photographs. Many visitors stop to look at a large painting of a huge sailing ship named the Balclutha.

Visitors who look at the painting can go out through the front door of the visitor center and see the real Balclutha. People walking near Fisherman’s Wharf often do not believe their eyes when they first see the Balclutha. Almost everyone stops and looks at the huge ship. The ship looks almost new. Several years ago, more than one million dollars was spent in repairing and painting it. Now, more than two hundred thousand people a year visit the ship.

The Balclutha is perhaps the most popular ship with visitors at the Maritime Park. However, there are also several other ships which are very important to the history of the great harbor. But not all of these ships are open to the public. One that is open is a small steam-powered workboat, called the Hercules. The Hercules was a tugboat. Until 1924 it pulled ships around the harbor.

Another boat popular with visitors is the Eureka. It was built in 1890. It is the largest wooden ship still floating today. The Eureka was a ferryboat. It carried people and cars across the bay. It did this until the Golden Gate Bridge and the Oakland Bay Bridge were built.

The park also has a very unusual looking museum. It is a large building that almost looks like a ship. The museum is filled with interesting equipment. One of the most interesting objects in the museum is a small sailboat called the Mermaid, which is only large enough for one person to sit in.

The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refers to _________.

A. the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park

B. the Spanish exploration

C. the main visitor center

D. San Francisco Harbor

Around the World in Eighty Days is a classic Adventure novel by Jules Verne. The story starts in London in 1872. One day in the Reform Club, Phileas Fogg, a wealthy gentleman, accepts a wager(赌注) for £20,000, which he will receive if he travels around the world in 80 days.
Phileas Fogg sets off immediately, with his servant Passepartout. They reach Suez(苏伊士) quickly. While landing in Egypt, he is watched by a British detective named Fix, who is in search of a bank robber. Because Fix mistakes Fogg for the criminal, he follows secretly, as they are getting on a ship to Bombay.
After more than 20-days of travelling, they arrive in San Francisco, and then get on the train to New York. During that trip, the train is attacked by Indians, who take Passepartout away. With some soldiers’ help, Fogg succeeds in freeing his companion. To make up for the lost time, Fogg and his companion hasten on to New York, and catch the steamer for the crossing of the Atlantics. They arrive in Ireland in time to reach London before the deadline. However, once on British soil again, Fix arrests Fogg. Although the misunderstanding is quickly cleared up—the actual bank robber had been caught several days earlier. Fogg has missed the train and returns to London five minutes late, sure that he has lost the wager.
However, the next day Fogg learns from the priest that he is mistaken in the date, which he thinks Sunday but which actually is Saturday, due to the fact that they gained a full day on their journey around the globe, by crossing the International Date Line. Fogg immediately sets off for the Reform Club, where he arrives just in time to win the wager.

B．rescuing his companion from the Indians

D．Yes. Because he arrives at the Reform Club before the deadline.
