　　I felt encouraged by his words and began to swim more calmly. But my clothes stuck to me like a heavy weight. I could hardly stay above the surface.

　　Counsel saw this.“Shall I cut them?”he asked.

　　With a knife he cut my clothes from top to bottom and took off quickly while I swam for both of us.

　　Then I did the same for Counsel, and we continued to swim near each other.

　　But we were in serious trouble. The crew might not have noticed our disappearance. And if they had, they could not return because the rudder(舵) had broken. Counsel thought of all this, and calmly made his plans. We decided to wait for the ship as long as possible, because we had no other hope of safety. I suggested that we save our strength so that both of us would not be tired out at the same time. This was how we did it: While one of us lay on his back, quite still, with arms crossed and legs stretched out(伸直), the other would swim and push him along. We changed every ten minutes or so. In this way we could swim for hours, perhaps till daylight. The crash(破裂声) of the ship and the whale (鲸) had appeared at about eleven o'clock. We had about eight hours to swim before daylight. This seemed possible, if the sea remained calm.

A．He and his companion got into the water to test their strength.

B．He jumped into the water to save the broken rudder.

C．He was knocked into the water by his enemy.

D．He was throw into the sea when the ship struck a whale.

(2)Why did the two men cut their clothes?

[　　]

A．Because no people helped them to take off their clothes.

B．Because they couldn't take off their clothes on the sea.

C．Because they wanted to get rid of their clothes quickly.

D．Because they wanted to make lifebuoys (救生圈) with their clothes.

(3)What does the word“still”in the last paragraph mean? It means ________.

[　　]

A．one of them pushed the other while swimming and then they changed

　　It was a high cliff (悬崖). Tom had been climbing for a long time. He was getting tired. Suddenly a piece of rock broke off his fingers. He almost fell.

　　He looked down and again almost fell. The ground was far below him. He looked up. It was still a long way to the top. He let his foot feel around below, but there was nothing there. He couldn't find the rock where his foot had been.“I'm going to fall,”he said aloud. His voice sounded frightened. Behind and below him ,quite near , a girl's voice spoke.

　　“Hold on hold on and I'll help you ,”she said.

　　Tom was afraid to look down again.

　　“Where did you come from?”he asked.

　　“I saw you were in trouble , so I came to help” she answered.

　　Her voice was closer. She must be just below me , Tom thought.

　　“If I fall, I'll hit you,”he said, “and you will fall too. You'd better go back. There is no way down from here. ”

　　“I know,”the girl said,“you have to keep going up. See that crack(裂缝) in the rock a long arm's reach? Take your time , but reach for it”.

Tom reached and found the crack. His fingers gripped it.

　　“Now move your right foot up,”the girl said.“you will feel a place for your toes. Don't look back just keep going up. ”

　　Tom moved up slowly , carefully.

　　“Now reach for those tree roots that are coming through above you,” the girl said. Tom reached and gripped them. And slowly, with the girl telling him where to put his hands and feet, Tom climbed. At last he made it. One strong pull , and he was over the top. He fell facedown on the grass , his eyes shut , too tired to move.

　　“Thank you , ”he said. “You saved me. This is a dangerous climb. I shouldn't have tried it. A girl fell from here last year. She was killed.”

　　“Yes,”the girl's voice said, “I was killed.” It sounded far away.

　　Tom jumped to his feet , suddenly cold , his eyes wide.

　　There was no one there no one at all.
