Question

Eight-year-old Jesse Arbogast was playing in the sea late one evening in July when a 7-foot bull shark attacked him and tore off his arm. Jesse’s uncle jumped into the sea and dragged the boy to shore. The boy was not breathing. His aunt gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation(人工呼吸) while his uncle rang the emergency services. Pretty soon, a helicopter arrived and flew the boy to hospital. It was a much quicker journey than the journey by road.
Jesse’s uncle, Vance Folsenzier, ran back into the sea and found the shark that had attacked his nephew. He picked the shark up and threw it onto the beach. A coastguard shot the fish four times and although this did not kill it, the shark’s jaws relaxed so that they could open them, and reach down into its stomach, and pull out the boys’ arm.
At the Baptist Hospital in Pensacola, Dr Ian Rogers spent eleven hours reattaching Jesse’s arm. “It was a complicated operation,” he said, “but we were lucky. If the arm hadn’t been recovered in time, we wouldn’t have been able to do the operation at all. What I mean is that if they hadn’t found the shark, we wouldn’t have had a chance.”
According to the local park ranger Jack Tomosvic, shark attacks are not that common. “Jesse was just unlucky,” he says, “evening is the shark’s feeding time. And Jesse was in an area without lifeguards. This would never have happened if he had been in an area where swimming is allowed.”
When reporters asked Jesse’s uncle how he had had the courage to fight against a shark, he replied, “I was mad and you do some strange things when you’re mad.”

Answer 1

【小題1】D
【小題2】A
【小題3】B
【小題4】C

解析試題分析：
【小題1】D 細節題。根據倒數第二段2,3行“evening is the shark’s feeding time. And Jesse was in an area without lifeguards. This would never have happened if he had been in an area where swimming is allowed.”說明他是在鯊魚進食的時間在沒有救生員的地方游泳的，是在一個危險的區域，故D正確。
【小題2】A 細節題。根據第二段最后一句the shark’s jaws relaxed so that they could open them, and reach down into its stomach, and pull out the boys’ arm.叔叔是把他的手臂從鯊魚的嘴里搶了過來，讓醫生再接上去。A正確。
【小題3】B 推理題。能和鯊魚搏斗搶回侄兒的手臂，說明他很勇敢。故B正確。
【小題4】C 細節題。根據倒數第二段shark attacks are not that common. “Jesse was just unlucky,”說明他認為Jesse很不幸。故C正確。
