课时作业(十三)　UNIT 2　MORALS AND VIRTUES 一、阅读理解 A (2022·浙江温州高三第二次模拟)David was about 8 when he learned how to swim. He got so good that he eventually picked up free diving, a sport where divers hold their breath until resurfacing instead of using breathing equipment. He never imagined nearly two decades later he would come to use that skill in such a way. It is an extraordinary act of courage, but to have the moment caught on camera for the world to see is something else entirely. The scene was filmed by someone on the same boat and was put online. The video was shared immediately by national and global media. That August day began with David boating around with his friends. They spotted a woman driving a bright red Mazda heading right into high water. David and his crew tried to warn her to stop, but by then it was too late, and the car had already slid under water. In the moments before David jumped into those muddy flood waters to tear the roof off the car with his bare hands, his thought process was short. In fact, he didn't have one. “The car was sinking fast，” David says. “There was no time to think. It had to be done.” Up until recently, David hadn't reunited with the woman he saved. He was perfectly fine with saving a stranger and remaining unknown to her. Still to this day, even after the attention the video received, after the media from all over the globe landed on his front yard, David doesn't think it a big deal. “I think I was just lucky，” David says, smiling. “I happened to be at the right place at the right time.” [语篇解读]　这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲了David救了一位女士，很多媒体都来采访他，但是他没有居功自傲，认为这不是什么大事情。 1.What did David do on that August day?
