A ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small island.

The two survivors, also good friends, not knowing what else to do, agreed that they had no other choice but to pray to God. However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they divided the land between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.

The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree beside him and he ate its fruit. The other man’s land remained barren (贫瘠的).

After a week, the first man was lonely so he prayed for a wife. The next day, another ship　 was completely destroyed, and the only woman survivor soon became his wife. On the other side of the island, there was still nothing.

Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day, like magic, all of these were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.

Finally, the first man prayed for a ship. In the morning, he found a ship at his side of the island. The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island behind, because he considered the other man unworthy to receive God’s blessings, since none of his prayers had been answered.

As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from heaven, “Why are you leaving your companion on the island?”

“My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one who prayed for them,” the first man answered. “His prayers were all unanswered and so he does not deserve anything.”

“You are mistaken!” the voice rebuked him. “He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings.”

“Tell me,” the first man asked with great curiosity, “What did he pray for that I should owe him anything?”

“He prayed that all your prayers be answered.”

A.the men prayed for each other selflessly

B.the first man was a reliable and devoted friend

2.What does the passage imply about the second man?

A.He lost his chances since he was not brave enough to show his needs.

B.His wife was another survivor sent by God to keep him company.

C.He lost heart in trouble so he deserves no God’s blessings.

D.It was his prayers that helped his friend get out of trouble.

3.What does the underlined word “rebuked” in paragraph 9 most probably mean?

No one thought that the RMS Titanic would sink on its first time at sea. But in 1912, the ship hit an iceberg and sank during the night. No one knew exactly where it had sunk. Even if someone had known, it was 12,500 feet (3.8 km) underwater. To search for the Titanic so deep in the water seemed impossible. But, 73 years later, Dr. Robert Ballard thought he had found a way to go that deep.

In 1985, Ballard set out to find the Titanic. He would use an unmanned submarine（无人驾驶的潜水艇）called Argo. Ballard’s research team controlled it from a ship on the surface. Argo had video cameras and lights on it. This let Ballard see the ocean floor.

Argo searched for signs of the Titanic. For many days and nights, Ballard and his teammates found nothing but sand and sea life. Time was running out. Ballard had only four days left before he had to return his boat. He knew this would be his only chance. Then, Ballard was awakened by one of his men. It was just after one o’clock in the morning. He rushed to the control room. On a screen was the view of one of the Titanic's boilers. They had found it!

Argo took amazing pictures of the ship. Ballard and his teammates found that the huge ship was in pieces. The debris was spread across one square mile (2.6 km2) of the ocean floor. They saw teacups, bottles, shoes, and other belongings（所有物）of the passengers.

During his career, Ballard has made more than 100 trips underwater. He has done much to teach children about the oceans. But, he will always be thought of as the man who found the Titanic.

1.Why was it difficult to find the Titanic?

A. Its size was huge.　　 B. It was deep under the sea.

C. It had been broken into pieces.　　 D. The weather at sea was terrible.

2.What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

A. The poor life at sea.　　 B. The difficulties in controlling Argo.

C. The causes of the Titanic’s sinking.　　 D. The experience of finding the Titanic.

3.What does the underlined word “debris” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. Rocks and sand.　　 B. Dead passengers.

C. Pieces from the Titanic.　　 D. Personal belongings.

4.What’s the best title for the text?

A. Ballard’s life　　 B. Finding the Titanic

C. Underwater trips　　 D. The sinking of the Titanic
