【答案】：

5. B
根據(jù)文章第三段“It came in with the waves, and when the waves receded, its huge body rested on the sand.”可知，鯨魚隨著海浪游到沙灘上，當海浪退去時，它的身體留在了沙灘上。因此，“receded”的意思是“退去”，與B選項“Went back”意思相符。
6. C
根據(jù)文章第四段“Jack and his family couldn't do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers.”可知，Jake和他的家人通過為救援人員提供食物和飲料來幫助拯救鯨魚，故選C。
7. A
根據(jù)文章描述，事件的發(fā)生順序為：人們推著鯨魚向海里（e），動物救援服務隊帶來了他們的卡車（d），人們打開了車燈（b），救援人員把鯨魚抬到水里（c），鯨魚在海下消失（a）。因此，正確答案是A。
