Forever第三局部 阅读理解 (共20小题；每题2分，总分值40分)AI had managed to sell all my papers and was coming home in the snow. It was that strange hour in New York when the workers were walking towards home in the evening. I recognized my father near Cooper Union, a frozen figure in an old overcoat standing by a banana cart (手推车). He looked so lonely; tears came to my eyes. Then he saw me, and his face lit with his sad, beautiful smile. “Arch, he said, “so you have sold your papers! Come and eat a banana. He offered me one, but I refused it. I felt it important that my father sell his bananas, not give them away. He thought I was shy, and joked with me, and made me eat the banana. It smelled of wet snow. “You havent sold many bananas today, Dad, I said. “What can I do? No one seems to want them, Dad said. It was true. The crowds pushed home; the sky darkened over the New York buildings; the tall street lamps were lit; street cars and bikes went by. Nobody and nothing in the great city stopped for my fathers bananas. “I ought to yell , said my father sadly. “I ought to make a big noise like other peddlers (小贩), but it makes my throat sore. Anyway, Im ashamed of yelling; it makes me feel like a fool. I had eaten one of his bananas. A voice deep down told me that I ought to pay for it somehow. I must remain here and help my father. “Ill yell for you, Dad, I volunteered. “Arch, no, he said, “go home; you have worked enough today. Just tell momma Ill be late. But I yelled and yelled. My father, standing by, spoke words of praise, and said I was a wonderful yeller. However, nobody else paid attention; nobody listened and came to buy our bananas. My father tried to stop me at last. He said, “That was wonderful yelling, Arch. But its just we are unlucky today! Lets go home. I insisted on keeping up my yells. But at last my father persuaded me to leave with him. 56.

BEvery year gray whales swim a 10,000 miles round-trip, from the cold waters near Alaska, down the coast of North America to the warm waters near Mexico, and back again. It is one of the longest migrations (迁徙) of any mammal.All day, all summer long, in the cold waters near Alaska, gray whales eat and eat.Instead of teeth, gray whales have baleen, they are used to getting food from ocean water. They get big mouthfuls of muck (淤泥) from the ocean floor, then push that muck right back out through their baleen. The mucky water flows through, but tiny animals get trapped in the baleen and licked up.When the water starts to freeze, the whales begin their long trip south. They swim night and day, without stopping to eat or rest. During the long journey, migrating whales may push their heads out of the water to see where they are.Two months later, the whales reach Mexico. Babies are born here in warm, shallow waters called lagoons. Ocean lagoons have no food for the adults, but the babies are safer here than in the open seas. All winter the babies grow big and strong.In spring first the dads and teenagers leave the lagoons, then the moms with babies. Migrating gray whales swim close to shore, especially moms with babies. The ice is melting up north, and its time for the hungry whales to make the long journey back to their summer feeding grounds. 60.
