问题     Last summer I took a trip to an island. I had a lot of fun. I sat and watched the waves and listened to the ocean. I learned to identify birds. I discovered pretty things and enjoyed the taste of new foods. It was a very nice time.
    One evening I took a pleasant walk by the ocean. When the waves came in, many starfish fell on the beach. Some starfish went back into the water, and they were safe. But other starfish were still on the sand. They would die if they did not get into the water. There were many starfish on the beach that night. It made me sad, but I knew I could not fix the problem. I stepped very carefully so that I wouldn’t hurt them.
    Then I saw a little girl. She was also sad about the starfish. She wanted to prevent all of them from dying. She asked me if I could perhaps help her.
    "To be frank, I don’t think we can do anything, ’ I said.
    The little girl started to cry. She sat back against a rock and thought for a while. Finally, the emotion was gone. She stopped crying and stood up. Then she picked up a starfish and threw it into the water.
    " What are you doing?" I asked her. But she did not answer me. She just threw as many starfish as she could. "You cannot save all of them!" I said.
    She stopped to look at me. "No, I cannot save them all," she replied. Then she picked up a very big starfish and said, "But I can save this one. " And then she smiled and threw the starfish as far as she could into the ocean.
What made the writer feel sad?

选项 A、Watching the waves.
B、Walking on the beach.
C、Identifying birds.
D、Seeing starfish dying on the sand.

答案D

解析 根据第二段倒数第二、三、四、五句“But other starfish were still on the sand. They would die if they did not get into the water. There were many starfish on the beach that night. It made me sad, but I knew I could not fix the problem. ”可知,其他海星仍然在沙滩上;它们如果不回到水里就会死掉;那晚沙滩上有很多海星;这让作者感到难过,但是他知道自己无法解决这个问题,即看到沙滩上濒死的海星让作者感到难过。故选D。
