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 did the girl mean by "But 1 can save this one"?

选项 A、She would save just this starfish.
B、She liked the big starfish.
C、She gave up saving all the starfish on the beach.
D、She would save as many as she could.

答案D

解析 根据倒数第二段第三句“She just threw as many starfish as she could. ”和最后一段最后三句"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. 可知,小女孩儿只是尽可能多地把海星扔到海里,作者询问她时,她回复道,“对,我救不了所有海星”,然后她捡起一只非常大的海星并说道,“但我能救这一只”,然后她笑着把这只海星尽量远地扔进海里。由此可推知,小女孩儿说“但我能救这一只”的意思是她会救尽可能多的海星。故选D。
