form is still used today to mark building, ships and other vehicles related to a country. the national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive artifact. it is , rather, the product of thousands of years development. historians believe that it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to show wind direction. early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause high waves that endangered travelers. peoples food supplies were similarly vulnerable (易受损害的). even after they had learned how to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. therefore they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another. using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. the connection of the flag with heavenly power was therefore reasonable. early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems (图腾)before carrying them into battle. they believed that the power of the wind would be added to the good wishes of the gods and ancestors represented by the totems themselves. these flags developed very slowly into modern flags. the first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked: the king of china around 1008 b.c. was known to have a white flag carried ahead of him. this practice might have been learned from egyptians even further in the past, but it was from china that it spread over trade routes through india, then across arab lands, and finally to europe, where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag.8. the best title for the passage would be_ a. uses of flags b. power of the national flagc. type of flags d. development of the national flag9. the earliest flags were connected with heavenly power because_a. they could tell wind directionb. they could bring good luck to fightersc. they were believed to stand for natural forces.d. they were handed down by the ancestors10. what does the author know of the first national flag?a. he knows when it was sent to europe.b. he believes it was made in egypt.c. he doubts where it startedd. he thinks it came from china.11. what will the author most probably talk about next?a. the second ancestor of the national flag.b. the role of china in the spread of the national flag.c. the use of modern flags in europe.d. the importance of modern flags. d it was a sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. the morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently. my father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. i was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but i decided to go all the same. i m so glad i did. on the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. after all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that only one tiny channel to the sea. as we got on board, we noticed two big humps(里脊）in the distance. on approaching them, we saw it was a 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 badly polluted that nothing could survive. the little baby whale- actually as big as our boat- was obviously stuck and could not move. the mother dived under the water and camp up suddenly, making big whirlpools(旋涡）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 disappeared 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 whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. slowly, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe-and 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 the day. nearly four decades later, i still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.12. the author says “ im so glad i did”(in para.2) because_a. he witnessed the whole process of fishingb. he enjoyed the beauty of the calm seac. he spent the weekend with his familyd. he experienced the rescue of the whales13. the harbour survived the storm owing to_a. the shape of the harbourb. the arms of the bay c. the still water in the channeld. the long coast line14. the mother whale failed to help her baby because_a. she had stayed in the polluted water for too long.b. the whirlpools she had made were no big enough.c. the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction.d. she had no other whales around to turn to for help15. what is the theme of the story?a. fishing provides excitement for children.b. its necessary to live in harmony with animals.c. its vital to protect the environment.d. saving lives brings people a sense of happiness.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。16 a team gets better. a kid practices more and swims a personal best or learns a new move on the
