Part Two Reading
V. Reading comprehension (阅读理解): (共50分)
A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案):（共12分）Stealing? Maybe, but in our 13-year-old minds we were just enjoying nature’s gift.
We were not thinking about whose things they were. We just knew the Jordan family had the best raspberries (山莓) in the neighbourhood.
So on a Friday summer night, we secretly went into the Jordans’backyard (后院) and started picking sweet, juicy raspberries. There wasn’t anything that tasted better than fresh raspberries. As we were enjoying the delicious raspberries, suddenly the Jordans’backyard lights came on, and Mr. Jordan ran outside.
“What are you boys doing?” he shouted as my friends ran off in all directions.
They were too quick for the older man to catch, and within seconds the boys disappeared into the dark. All except me.
Mr. Jordan shouted at me as he ran after me down the block to my house, where my mother took over. My friends said they could hear every word she said to Mr. Jordan from our backyard.
My friends laughed at me about it for days afterwards. After about a week of this, I couldn’t help but complain to my father.
“I don’t think it’s unfair(不公平的) at all,” said Dad. “You took raspberries without asking, and you got exactly the punishment (惩罚) you should have.”
“But what about the other guys?” I asked. “They didn’t get punished at all!”
“That’s not my concern, nor should it be yours,” said Dad. “You can’t control what happens to other people. You made a bad choice that night, and you were punished for it. That sounds completely fair to me.”

D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): （共12分）
It is usual for volunteers to make sure that the hundreds of sea turtles (海龟) that hatch (孵化) on the beaches of the Caribbean Island, can move to the sea each year. The task usually includes keeping an eye on them. This year, they had to do something they had never done before — build a human wall for some of the little ones that may go the wrong way to the sea.
It all began when volunteers on Bonaire Island noticed a group of turtles hatching a little further out on the beach, closer to the airport. This is a problem because once they hatch, the babies usually look to the moonlight which guides them to the sea. However, when the turtles are born so close to the airport, they may think of the bright light from the airport as the moonlight by mistake, and often, end up moving in the wrong direction. A few years ago, a whole group got killed after they moved upon a busy road.
In order to stop this from happening again, the volunteers kept a close eye on the turtles’eggs as they began to hatch. Then on July the first came the big day when the little turtles were ready to make their long trip to the water. In order to make sure they followed the light from the moon but not that from the airport, the volunteers came together and built a
human wall around the turtles to stop them from seeing the light from the airport. Sure enough, all the one hundred and twelve turtles moved in the right direction and made their way to the sea safely.
