Passage Five
"Family"is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life，they are thinking of "family" in its "narrow，peculiarly European sense of mother， father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus， every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—— hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman， marriage means leaving one"s parents and starting one"s own life. The man"s first duty will then be to his wife， and the wife"s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support， and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife"s parents nor the husband"s， nor their brothers or sisters，

Passage Four
Deep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East. Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Bool of World Records as the world"s largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.
The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian Nation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance， in room called "the Council Room"， many Indian artifacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery， arrowheads， weapons， and jewelry.
For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave， but it was not discovered until 1905. In that year， a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.
Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea， .the full extent of it is still unknown.

根据以下内容，回答题。
Passage One
There has been， in history， a man who was swallowed by a whale and lived to tell the tale. The man"s name is James Bartley. The records to prove his unusual experience are in the British Admiralty.
Bartley was making his first trip on the whaling ship Star of the East. Suddenly the lookout sighted a huge sperm whale. The whalers knew it was a huge whale by the size of the spray it blew into the air. They lowered their small boats. James Bartley was in the first longboat. The men rowed until they were close to the whale. A harpoon was thrown and it found its mark. It sank into the whale"s flesh. The maddened beast crashed into the boat， snapping its tail at the men and the wreckage of their boats. When the survivors were picked up， James Bartley was missing.
Shortly before sunset， the whale was finally captured. The sailors tied the whale"s dead body to the side of the ship. Because of the hot weather it was important that they cut up the whale right away. Otherwise， the meat would begin to rot and oil would begin to spoil. When they got to the stomach， they felt something moving about wildly. They thought it would be a big fish still alive inside. But when they opened the stomach they found James Bartley. After this trip， Bartley settled in England， and never returned to sea.
This passage is mainly about__________. 查看材料
- A.how to hunt whales for their oil and meat

- C.The duties of each man on a whaling ship
- D.a man who was swallowed by a whale and lived
