When dawn came, they realized that the entire boat was    1    with ice. The captain has fallen    2    but the rest of the crew hurriedly woke him. He took a small axe and    3  great care, so as not to    4    a hole in the deck, he began to knock the ice away. Each member of the crew took    5    to cut the ice away for as    6    as he could bear it. Standing up on that roiling deck would have been    7    one's life because a man who has fallen overboard could not have been saved. Then the captain discovered that ice was    8    inside the cabin. He called to one of the crew and together they    9    to light the stove in the    10    that it would    11    enough heat to warm the cabin to    12    freezing point.    13    the ice in the bottom could be melted    14    it could be pumped out, they were in danger of sinking. Throughout the afternoon, the ice began to    15    up again in spite of their work. In the  16 of this new danger, the captain decided that it was    17    risky to depend on the    18  that the boat should survive until the next morning. Once more, he ordered the crew to clear the ice. Then they    19    down to wait for    20    day.

四．阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.

One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, saying, “You don’t say！”“You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic. “Well, I’d better change the topic. ”So I said to him, “well, shall we talk about the Great Wall?” By the way, have you ever been there? “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent（壮丽的）.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide, “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his order “You don’t say!” I couldn’t help asking .I said, “Didn’t you say you don’t say?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “You don’t say actually means really? It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.” Only then did I make a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expression.

Every Friday we have a fire alarm test at nine o'clock sharp, and even though the sound is very noisy, I am so happy because when I heard that it reminded me today is Friday and tomorrow is weekend, it is the last working day of the week and I have two days off, it’s so excited!Sometimes we have a fire drill, when you hear the fire alarm, everybody have to run out through the fire exit.

One Monday at nine o’clock, the alarm was sounded and I was working behind the fish house and didn’t hear it. The department manager and staff were looking for me thoroughly, finally they found me and asked me to stop my job and follow them went out.

"I am busy, No problem! You leave, I work." I said.

"No, this is the law, everybody has to leave." The manager said.

I understood that if I insisted not to leave, they must carry me out. I went out with them together finally, no choice.

One afternoon, when I was working outside, the fire alarm cropped up（突然出现） sounding wildly, nobody knew what’s happening, some were standing and looking around, some were asking questions, some were running, I knew this wasn’t a test or drill, must be a real one. At that moment, one lady called me from a distance:"Jinglebell: leave your job, go out quickly."I joined the crowded flow of customers and staff going out. I asked somebody what's happened? And they told me this is a real one as there was some smoke on the shop floor.Finally I found out, actually there was no problem, that it was an electrician who used the equipment for the carpet and made a little smoke.

After that I asked somebody how to deal with the customer’s food in the restaurant in that case, because they went out to leave because of the fire, but hadn't finished their food. They told me that the customers who had bought food or drinks there could get a new one.

I don't understand, if in China, under that situation, everybody must carry a bucket（桶） or some other water containers to the fire spot, to fight the flames.

I agree with the English emphasis the human right, but maybe a very small problem could become a big problem while everybody had withdrawn from the shop, because the fire fighters could not come at once.

I was just thinking.

1.Despite the noise from the fire alarm, the author still feels happy because _____.

2.If there is a fire breaking out in a restaurant, what will happen in China?

3.What’s the author’s attitude to the human right?

4.Why does the author think that a very small problem may become a big one while everybody had withdrawn from the shop?

______ he did not want to, he still had to share his hotel room with a stranger．

A．Because       B．Even though      C．When       D．As if
