发展d“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 whales 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 whales 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 bartleys 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 captains wife about mr bartleys story. the wife said that no man who had sailed on her husbands ship was ever swallowed by a whale.however, this has not stopped james bartleys story from being repeated, and many people today still believe that it is true.41. what made mr bartleys skin white? a. the ocean water.b. the whales teeth. c. the heat inside the whale.d. the liquid in the whales stomach.42. who may have talked to mr bartley? a. a scientist.b. the captains wife. c. the sailors on the ship.d. a newspaper reporter.43. the captains wife said that . a. the story was not trueb. her husband told her the story c. the whale was never foundd. mr bartley didnt work for her husband44. 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45. in paragraph 4 and paragraph 5 we may know that mr bartley . a. became a writer laterb.
