二、阅读理解
(2025·广州二模改编)“Save the whales!” That's what the picture on Jake Smith's bedroom wall said. Jake liked having a picture that said something important：that showed what he cared. He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighbourhood.
It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whale's coming. Many animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake's hometown. All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them. They were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie, but not something they'd have to do anything about.
Then one whale swam directly towards the land. It came in with the waves. When the waves receded，it stayed. Its huge body was on the sand. Suddenly，Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers(营救者). A few people ran towards the huge whale. They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water，but it was no use. The whale was so heavy that they couldn’t move it.
An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery to help move the whale. Jake and his family couldn't do much on the beach，so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers. At least，Jake thought，they could do something.
Back at the beach，they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shone the headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times，they were finally able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to the sea. It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea. Then，in what looked like a jump of joy，it rose high above the water—a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save its life.

答案
【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Jake Smith和他的邻居们如何齐心协力帮助救助一头搁浅的鲸鱼的故事。
1. D细节理解题。根据“‘Save the whales!’That's what the picture on Jake Smith's bedroom wall said. Jake liked having a picture that said something important: that showed what he cared.”可知，Jake关心动物。故选D。
2. C词义猜测题。根据“it stayed. Its huge body was on the sand”可知，鲸鱼搁浅在沙滩上，应是海浪退去了，所以画线部分的含义是“退去”。故选C。
3. B细节理解题。根据“Jake and his family couldn't do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers.”可知，Jake一家通过为救援人员提供食物和饮料来帮助救援。故选B。
4. A事件排序题。根据“All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them.”；“Suddenly, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers.

Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shone the headlights on the sand.”；“After trying many times, they were finally able to lift the whale into the water... disappeared for a moment under the sea.”可知，正确的事件顺序是：人们去看鲸鱼→被迫成为救援者→推鲸鱼失败→用车灯照明→救援人员将鲸鱼抬入水中→鲸鱼潜入海中。故选A。
