阅读理解 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各项的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Fred, a close friend of mine, lives with six hundred wild animals on a small island. Ever since he left school, where I first knew him, he has traveled all over Africa collecting animals for his zoo. He hoped to collect at least two animals of each kind on his island, like Noah before the Great Flood（水灾）. But the flood that my friend was afraid of was a flood not of water but of people. I think you have heard of my friend: he writes books about his travels, and about the wild and wonderful animals that he collects. The money from the books helps to pay for all the food that those animals eat. Fred told me that when he was out looking for water last week(there is not enough there is plenty all around it), he found oil. He needs money for his travels, and for his zoo, and a little oil will buy enough water for a lifetime; but he knows that if he tells anybody else about it, it will be the end of his zoo and his life’s work. So, if I know my friend, he will not tell anybody（but you and me）about what he found. 56. What is Fred most afraid of if a flood of people come onto the island? A. The zoo will be destroyed when they make it an oilfield. B. They may come in large crowds（人群）and frighten（使惊恐）the animals. C. There will be so much noise that he can not write any more. D. Nobody can look after the zoo when he is away traveling. 57. Fred pays for the food the animals eat by . A. selling oil on his island B. traveling all over the world

B What am I doing with my daughter at home? Rather than read aloud from books, we go to dinner and have a very good time. This is usually when her Mom isn’t around, and this is when my little girl and I relate better（关系好转）. They’re alone together so much. We’re seldom alone. When we’re alone together, she and I somehow behave differently. We learn about each other. She learns that I’m her father. I learn that she’s my daughter. It’s a strange feeling, but any parent knows what I’m talking about when I say that I often look at my daughter and wonder just whose child she is. Where’d she suddenly come from? And why on earth did she pick Laura and me for parents? When my daughter and I are alone she’ll hold my hand and say,“I just love you so much, Daddy!”She’s so used to my leaving that when I tell her she and I are going to hang out（闲荡）all night, she gets this great look on her face and says,“We’ve got so much to do, Dad!”There’s nothing like it in the world. I want my relationship with my daughter to keep growing. So I’ve been giving my wife several hundred dollars each week and making her go to the shopping center with her girlfriends, or something—anything! But this closeness is not without its problems. When I’m sitting there playing with her Barbie doll（巴比娃娃）, washing her hair, a voice in me suddenly says,“I’ve got to get a drink and get out of here.” Right in the middle of all this happiness, the voice goes,“Look at yourself! You’re washing dolls!” 60. Why does the husband give his wife so much money each week? A. He wants her to buy more things for the family. B. She can do anything that she likes with the money. C.

The father is happy, hearing“We’ve got so much to do, Dad!” D. The father is sure that the daughter is not his own. 62. What does the last paragraph tell us about the father? A. He doesn’t enjoy being with his daughter. B. He doesn’t like washing his daughter’s hair. C. He doesn’t enjoy himself by going out for a drink. D. He had mixed feelings when he is with his daughter.
