One morning the two brothers put the oil in the stove and started the fire. The stove exploded (爆炸). Someone had put gasoline in the oil can!

The inside of the schoolhouse was in flames（火焰）. Glenn’s pants were on fire. The building was full of smoke. He looked for his brother but couldn’t see him.

This is really a very fast game, the fastest I have seen so far this year. Both sides are fighting for the ball all the time. The crowd is loving every minute of it. They’re shouting at the tops of their voices.
Mike has the ball now. This is only his third game for Scotland, but he’s playing so well that it won’t be his last, I’m quite sure.
Mike passes the ball to Peter. Peter kicks it over the heads of the waiting Frenchmen, towards the gold-mouth. But he’s too far away. Jack picks it up easily and throws it to Tom, out on the left.
France and Scotland still have one goal each, and there are only two minutes left of the game. But in that time, anything can happen. Tom kicks the ball across to Ctrozat. It’s a beautiful kick, but Stevens jumps and just stops the ball with the side of his head. But Meunier is there, he passes it to Crozat, without waiting a second, he puts the ball into the back of the goal. It takes everybody by surprise. I’ve never seen a goal like it. And the game is over. France has won the cup.
( ) 29. “They’re shouting at the tops of their voices” means _______.
A. they’re shouting all the time B. their shouting is almost like singing
C. they’re shouting as loud as they can D. their voices are as high as they will go
( ) 30. It won’t be Mike’s last game for Scotland because _______.
A. He is playing so well B. he has played there already
C. this is only his fourth game D. he has the ball for the third time.

“Fish stories” are stories of the greatest fish that a fisherman has almost caught, but for some reason, the fish always get away. Usually, these stories do not have much truth to them. One of the biggest fish stories in history was about a whale.
In 1891, a ship hunting for whales in the South Atlantic Ocean found a very large whale. While the hunters were trying to kill the whale, it sank two small boats. One man drowned, and another man, James Bartley, was lost in the ocean. However, after the hunters finally killed the whale, they cut open the whale’s stomach and found Mr Bartley inside. He was not dead!
Several weeks later, Mr Bartley seemed to have gotten over his terrible experience. The only thing he could remember was that while he was inside the whale, it was very hot. The liquid (液体) from the whale’s stomach had turned all of his skin snow white. Mr Bartley had to live with the effect from the whale for the rest of his life.
Today, many people have heard about the strange experience of Mr Bartley and do not buy it. Not one real fact has been found to prove that the events ever took place described by the sailors. No scientist or newspaper reporter was ever able to talk to Mr Bartley, and all of the stories told in magazines about Mr Bartley’s experience were explained by other sailors on the boat. Mr Bartley was probably not even a real person at all.
In 1928, after the captain (船长) of the whaling ship had died, one man asked the captain’s wife about Mr Bartley’s story. The wife said that no man who had sailed on her husband’s ship was ever swallowed by a whale.
However, this has not stopped James Bartley’s story from being repeated, and many people today still believe that it is true.
( )32. What made Mr Bartley’s skin white?
A. The ocean water. B. The whale’s teeth.
C. The heat inside the whale. D. The liquid in the whale’s stomach.
( )33. Who may have talked to Mr Bartley?
A. A scientist. B. The captain’s wife.
C. The sailors on the ship. D. A newspaper reporter.
( )34. The captain’s wife said that .
A. the story was not true B. her husband told her the story
C. the whale was never found D. Mr Bartley didn’t work for her husband
( )35. Today, many people have heard about the strange experience of Mr Bartley and do not buy it. Here “buy” means .
A. 明白 B. 相信 C. 购买 D. 证明
