Small as she was, she had attacked him as he carried her to the ground. “I'm going to call you Frightful，” he had said. Then he carried her to a tree. This was Sam's home.He fed her four and five times a day. Before long, Frightful thought of him as her mother. He cared for her like a peregrine falcon (游隼) mother would.When she was older, Sam made a perch (栖木) for her and placed her on it. He taught her to fly to his hand. When she was full­grown, he took her hunting with him. At night and on winter days, she perched on his bedstead and warmed herself by the fireplace. On summer days, she would sit on her perch outside and watch the birds and busy Sam. Patiently she waited for him to take her hunting. It was her greatest pleasure. She loved the sky and the winds.Frightful was an excellent hunter who rarely missed. The food was shared. Their lives depended on each other.Frightful wanted to fly but she could not see. Blindfolded, she had traveled with two strange men for several days.One of them had taken her from the perch beside the tree. She looked at him before he covered her head. She must find Sam again now.Sam had begged the man not to take her away, but he had pushed Sam aside and earned her. A door had closed, and she was inside a truck. The motor was moving. A falcon bell tinkled (叮当作响) nearby. A sharp­shinned hawk (条纹鹰) had shifted his feet. A prairie falcon called out a single note. They, like herself, were sensing the direction of the moving car.Several feedings later, the second man put Frightful on a perch in a forest. The prairie falcon and sharp­shinned hawk were there, too. Although they would readily attack her, she was not afraid of them. Frightful was a peregrine falcon. She was faster than any other bird. Her long pointed wings, wide shoulders, and strong body were sculpted by the wind, the open sky, and the nature of her ancestral birds.1．What was Frightful like when Sam met her for the first time?A．Big.  B．Cute.C．Weak.  D．Aggressive.2．What did Frightful think of Sam?A．She feared him.B．She felt he was cruel.C．She considered him as her family.D．She thought he made her work hard.3．What happened to Frightful later?A．She attacked robbers.B．She had a narrow escape.C．She was taken away from Sam.D．She was sold to strangers by Sam.4．What will Frightful probably do next?A．Learn how to fly faster.B．Try to come back to Sam.C．Fight against the two men.D．Get on well with other birds.B[2021·临沂模拟]One beautiful day, my good friends and I joined an experienced crew and sailed in the Caribbean. As boating beginners, my friends and I were in charge of spotting the light areas of the seafloor that signaled dangerous reefs (暗礁). Ocean reefs have the potential to destroy any sailboat that passes over them, so while the electronic depth sounder is a necessary tool, it is always helpful to find a reef ahead of time so that it can be more easily avoided.One aspect of boating that was reserved for the experts was tacking, the sailing term for changing direction. All at once, a smooth sail could turn into complete pandemonium as the captain at the wheel began yelling directions to the first mate (大副), who quickly began struggling with the sails and rigging (索具). Generally, the wind continued to offer resistance. This made the first mate's struggle more demanding and really frightening to the less experienced boaters on board. This mad yelling and tacking could go on for several minutes before all was right again and the boat settled into its new course. Once this had occurred, the captain and the first mate acknowledged each other with congratulatory smiles. We beginners, however, were still recovering from our terror and wondering to ourselves, “Was all that supposed to happen? And they think this is fun？”As we headed back toward the shore, the unpredictable wind not only slowed but stopped, and soon the boat did too. After several minutes, the ship's crew unwillingly turned on the motor. Unfortunately, it wouldn't start and so we floated at sea, no land in sight, just waiting. It was late afternoon when I began to recognize the panic that was rising in my throat. Eventually, the ship's captain got the engine running. The sails were up and the little motor moved along.5．What were the author and his friends asked to do?A．Watch passing sailboats.B．Notice reefs in the ocean.C．Get experience from the crew.D．Use the electronic depth sounder.6．What does the underlined word “pandemonium” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Chaos.  B．Damage.C．Devotion.  D．Blindness.7．How did the author feel while the captain and the first mate were busy tacking?A．Confused.  B．Amused.C．Scared.  D．Excited.8．What happened when the ship was sailing back?A．There was a fierce wind blowing.B．The engine wouldn't work.C．The author's throat hurt.D．The crew lost their way.Ⅱ.完形填空[2021·海口模拟]In the Thai city of Khon Kaen a dog kept waiting around a crossroad __1__ he was waiting for his owner.
