17、们及时赶到岸边，看到对面有一个庞大的动物猛力跃出海面，然后又坠落到水里。它黑白相间，样子像鱼，但我知道它并不是鱼。“那是老汤姆，是虎鲸。 ”一位叫乔治的捕鲸人高声对我说， “它是在告诉我们那边有一头鲸，叫我们去捕猎。 ”另外一位捕鲸人大声喊叫：“快走啊走啊。 ”这是宣告猎鲸行动马上就要开始的呼声。“克兰西，快来，上船去。 ”乔治在我前面边跑边说。我以前就听说过，乔治不喜欢等人，所以尽管我还没有穿上合适的衣服，就跟在他后面跑起来。一刻不停地，我们和其他捕鲸人都跳上渔船，朝海湾方向驶去。我朝水里望去，可以看到老汤姆就在渔船旁边游着，为我们指路。几分钟之后，汤姆不见了，于是乔治开始用浆拍打水面。汤姆
18、出现了，转回到船边，又领着我们前往捕猎处。通过望远镜，我们可以看到远处有情况发生了。走近一看，原来是一头大鲸受到约六七条虎鲸的攻击。我问乔治：“它们在干什么呢？”“啊，它们在协同作战呢那些虎鲸正在往那头鲸的出气孔上扑去，不让它呼吸，而其他那些虎鲸则阻止它潜水或逃跑。 ”乔治一边指着捕猎的情景，一边告诉我。就在这时候，最精彩的场面出现了。虎鲸们在我们的渔船和那头鲸之间追逐，就像一群兴奋的猎狗一样。于是，猎鲸叉准备好了。站在船头的那个人把叉瞄准了那头鲸，扔了出去，恰好击中了要害，鲸受了重伤，没过多久就死了。过了片刻，鲸的尸体就被虎鲸们迅速拖向深海中去了。捕鲸人于是调转船头往回走。“怎么啦？”我问道
19、， “我们失去鲸了吗？”杰克回答说：“不，我们明天再回来运鲸鱼的尸体。它在 24 小时以内是不会浮出水面的。 ”雷德笑着补充说：“在这段时间里，老汤姆和其他虎鲸会饱餐一顿的，鲸唇和鲸舌就是它们的美食。 ”虽然老汤姆和其他虎鲸都很凶恶，但是它们从来不伤害人，也不袭击人。事实上，它们还保护人。有一天，我们出海捕鲸的时候，詹姆斯被冲下水去了。乔治大声喊道：“有人落水了！把船头调回去！”那天海上波涛汹涌，很难调转船头。海浪把詹姆斯冲得离我们越来越远。从詹姆斯的脸上我能看出他非常恐慌，生怕被我们遗弃。随后我们看到一条鲨鱼。我尖叫起来：“瞧，那边有一条鲨鱼。 ”雷德回答说：“别着急，老汤姆不会让它靠近的。
20、 ”我们花了半个小时才把船头调转过来，回到詹姆斯落水的地方。当我们靠近他的时候，我看到老汤姆正在水中稳稳托着詹姆斯。我几乎不相信自己的眼睛。当我们把詹姆斯拉上渔船的时候，大家都欢呼着“老汤姆，好样的” “感谢上帝” 。后来，老汤姆离开了，回到捕猎的地方，跟其他虎鲸一起捕鲸去了。,二、课文精选段落背诵，请注意文段中 ving 的用法Old Tom the Killer WhaleWithout pausing we jumped into the boat with the other whalers and headed out into the bay.I looked down into
