Robert was wise enough not to fight for air. He kept his mouth shut. In his right hand he still held the knife. He quickly cut open the bag, got his arm out, and then his body. But he could not free himself from the stone; it was pulling him down. Then he reached down and cut the stone free, just as he felt that he was at the end of his strength. He rose quickly to the top of the water, while the stone pulled down to the bottom of the sea the bag which had almost become his gravecloth(寿衣) indeed.
Robert drew in the night air. Then he began to swim under the water so that he might not be seen. When he came up a second time he was nearly a hundred yards from the place where he had first touched the sea. He saw above him a black and stormy sky over which the wind was driving the hurrying clouds. In frond of him lay the great ocean, black, fearful. Behind him, blacker than the sea, blacker than the sky, rose the Cateaud’ If(伊夫堡), whose rocks like arms held out to seize him; and on the highest rock, was a lamp that lighted the forms of two men. He thought that they were looking at the sea; perhaps they had heard his cry. Robert went down again under the water and remained there a long time. 24. Robert didn’t free himself until _________. A. he cut the bag open B. he got his arm out C. he got his body out D. he cut the stone free

New Zealand is an English-speaking country. But the government recognizes another language, too. This is the Maori language. English sailors began to visit New Zealand after 1770. They found a dark-skinned people living there. These were the Maori. They had come from islands in the Pacific Ocean 400 years before — in the 14th century.
For a long time the British government was not very interested in these far-away islands. It was made a British colony(殖民地) in 1840. In this year the first British people came to settle in the new country. More and more settlers came from Britain later.
The Maoris were friendly to the first settlers. But soon the new settlers wanted the Maoris’ land. So in 1844 there was fighting between them. This was the first of several wars between the two people. The next 50 years were very bad for Maoris. Many were killed in the wars. Many more died from the new diseases brought by the British. In 1840 there were perhaps 200 000 Maoris. By 1896 this number had fallen to 42 000.
By this century the two people have lived in peace. For many years the “British” New Zealanders looked down on the Maoris. But in recent years they have had equal rights, and the Maori language is one of the languages of the country with English. Today there are about a quarter of a million Maoris, that is, about 9% of the population. Most of them live on North Island. They have a rich culture and a great love of singing and dancing.
28. The Maoris began to live in New Zealand ________.
A. after 1770 B. after the English sailors C. 400 years ago D. in the 14 century 29. At the beginning, the British showed little interest in New Zealand because ________. A. it was too far away from Britain B. they didn’t want a war against them C. Many people died from new diseases
D. there were dark-skinned people living there
30. Wars between the Maoris and the British settlers ________. A. started in 1840 B. killed 42,000 Maoris C. lasted about fifty years D. killed more British settlers
31. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Now New Zealand has a population of about 2,780,000 B. Maoris can speak both English and Maoris language.
