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 caused the little girl’s emotion?

选项 A、The beach was filled with starfish.
B、She fell on the rock and hurt herself.
C、She could not stop the starfish from dying on the sand.
D、The writer’s refusal.

答案C

解析 根据第三段最后两句“She wanted to prevent all of them from dying. She asked me if I could perhaps help her.”第四段“…‘To be frank, I don’t think we can do anything, ’ I said.”和第五段前三句“The little girl started to cry…Finally, the emotion was gone. ”可知,小女孩儿想阻止所有海星死掉,她请求作者帮助,但作者认为他们其实做不了什么事情,小女孩儿听后开始哭泣,她靠在一块石头上想了一会儿后,这种情绪才消失。由此可推知,造成小女孩儿有悲伤情绪的原因是她不能阻止沙滩上的海星死掉。故选C。
