mother whale with her baby.we couldnt believe it there arent any whales along the coast here.the storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badlly polluted that nothing could survive.the little baby whaleactually as big as our boalwas obviously stuck and could not move.the mother dived under the water and came up suddenly,making big whirlpools(漩涡) and waves.”shes trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side,”my father said.at this point,my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and ,heading the boat towards the baby whale,pushed it gently.with our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappared under water.then it swam up right beside its mum.they struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction.we hurried up to the whalesand tried to lead them towards the bay channel.showly,they let us lead them,some-times rising from the water right beside us to breatheand to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes.once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea,the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.in the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half.that was the simple and lasting beauty of

culture. cities contain the very best aspects of a society: opportunities for education employment and entertainment. they also contain the very worst parts of a society: violent crime racial conflict and poverty. american cities are changing just as american society is changing. after world war ii city residents became wealthier more prosperous. they had more children. they needed more space. they move out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. they bought houses in the suburbs areas near a city where people live. these are areas without many offices or factories. during the 1950s the american “dream” was to have a house in the suburbs. now things are changing. the children of the people who left the cities in 1950s are now adults. they unlike their parents want to live in the cities. many young professionals doctors lawyers and executives are moving back into the city. many are single; others are married but often without children. they prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; they are afraid of the fuel shortage; or they just enjoy the excitement and opportunities which the city offers.this population shift is bringing problems as well as benefits. countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent. in the 1950s, many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs; now many of these people do not have enough money to stay in the cities.only a few years ago, people thought that the older american cities were dying. some city residents now see a bright , new future .others see only problems and conflicts. one thing is sure：many dying cities are alive again.32what does the author think of cities all over the world ?a. they are alive . b. they are hopeless.c. they are similar d. they are different.33why did american city residents want to live in the suburbs after world war ?a. because older american cities were dying.b. because they were richer and needed more space.c. because cities contained the worst parts of society.d. because they could hardly afford to live in the city.34according to the 4 th paragragh, a great many poor people in american cities _ .a. are faced with housing problemsb. are faced to move to the suburbsc. want to sell their buildingsd. need more money for daily expenses35we can conclude from the text that_?a. american cities are changing for the warsb. people have different views on american citiesc. many people are now moving from american citiesd. the population is decreasing in older american cities【答案】32c33b34a35b【解析】试题分析：这是一篇议论文，城市反映一个国家的文化观。就像美国社会在发生变化一样，美国的城市也在变化。32细节理解题：从第一段第一句american cities are similar to other cities around the
