四、阅读理解
It was still only a little after 7 o'clock, the Sun was pale, and the air was cool. The morning smelled delicious. After a difficult walk, Sam finally sat down by the pool, put away his compass(指南针) and lifted his field glasses. There they are! The mother swan was only a few feet away. She was sitting very close, not moving. The father swan was nearby. Both birds were listening and waiting. Both birds saw Sam, but they thought it didn't matter. Sam stayed with these two great birds in the wild, just like old friends. That made him really happy.
In the morning, when the Sun was up in the sky, Sam focused his glasses on the nest(巢) again. At last, he saw a small head pushing through the mother's feathers, the head of a baby swan. The baby climbed out of the nest. It had a grey head and neck, with soft fine feathers. Soon another baby appeared. Then another. Then the first one walked his way down into his mother's feathers again for warmth. Then one tried to climb up his mother's back, but her feathers were wet, and he fell off. The mother swan just sat and sat, enjoying her babies, watching them use their legs. One of the baby swans, more brave than the others, left the nest and walked around on the shore(岸边) of the island. When this happened, the mother swan stood up. It was time for her to lead her children to the water. The baby swans did as their mother did and soon found it easy to swim.
"One, two, three, four, five," Sam counted. "One, two, three, four, five. Five babies, just as sure as I am alive! This is my lucky day." The father swan, when he saw his children in the water, felt like he should act like a father. He began by making a speech.

答案
1.B 2.C 3.B 4.D 5.A
解析
1. 细节理解题。第一段描述早晨氛围舒适，“The morning smelled delicious”体现的是愉悦的感受，A（冷）、C（普通）、D（奇怪）不符合，故选B。2. 词义猜测题。根据第二段“One of the baby swans... left the nest and walked around on the shore”可知这只小天鹅比其他的更敢离开巢，“brave”意为“勇敢的”，故选C。3. 细节理解题。第三段Sam数出五只小天鹅，称“This is my lucky day”，原因是看到五只新生小天鹅，A（学跳舞）、C（保护巢）、D（发现新鸟类）均不符合，故选B。4. 推理判断题。Sam数小天鹅时说“lucky day”，情绪是兴奋的，A（冷静）、B（担心）、C（沮丧）不符合，故选D。5. 推理判断题。第一段提到“Sam stayed with these two great birds in the wild, just like old friends”，说明Sam对这些鸟不陌生，B（救鸟）、C（带回家）、D（写报告）均无法从文中推断，故选A。
