An atheist was taking a walk through the woods, admiring all that the “accident of evolution” had created.
“What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!” he said to himself. As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7 - foot grizzly（灰熊）charge towards him. He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing. He ran even faster, so scared that tears were ing to his eyes. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. His heart was pumping frantically and he tried to run even faster. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw the bear right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.
At that instant the atheist cried out “Oh my God!”
Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. Even the river stopped moving.
As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky,“ You deny my existence for all of these years; teach others I don’t exist; and even credit creation to a cosmic （宇宙的）accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this difficulty? Am I to count you as a believer?”
The atheist looked directly into the light. “It would be hypocritical（伪善的）of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as Christian now, but perhaps could you make the bear a Christian？”“Very well,” said the voice.
The light went out. The river ran again. And the sounds of the forest resumed.
And then the bear dropped his right paw... brought both paws together... bowed his head and spoke, “Lord, for this food which I am about to receive, I am truly thankful.”

(答案→)B
解析：
一个无神论者走在森林之中，欣赏着“进化之美”，突遇灰熊追捕。危急时刻口呼上帝。上帝的声音从空中传来：你不相信我的存在，并教给别人说我不存在，将世间万物归因于一次宇宙事故。你希望我救你吗？能将你算作信徒吗？无神论者问上帝能否将灰熊变为基督信徒。只见灰熊双手合十、念念有词：主啊，感谢您赐给我食物。
【小题1】推断题。第二段“What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!”一句表明，在无神论者眼中，世间万物，包括树木、河流和动物，都是“进化事故”的产物，不存在所谓“上帝”。故B项正确。
【小题2】细节题。从第五段上帝的话 “You deny my existence for all of these years; teach others I don’t exist; and even credit creation to a cosmic （宇宙的）accident…”可知，这位atheist否认上帝的存在。故 D项正确。
【小题3】主旨大意题。A项real一词提示该项排除；B项practical提示该项排除；而Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. Even the river stopped moving.等都是虚构的，虚构的东西不能证明上帝的存在，排除C项。“灰熊为美食祷告”极具趣味性，故D项正确。
