The Johnson family from England believe they are lucky to be alive af?ter surviving an incredible incident off the coast of Australia. The John?sons had been 1 that they might see some whales when they were 2 a yacht―a large expensive boat for a 10-day sailing 3 around the Whit?sunday Islands. 4 ， they had no clue just how 5 their viewing would be. Two hours into their journey a nine-metre-long humpback whale 6 out of the ocean and crashed into their boat before returning to the water.
Mark Johnson,the eldest son, was sailing the yacht when he heard an immense bang and a thud(重击声）.He 7 thought the yacht had hit a rock. However, when he looked up,he saw the whale 8 down the deck of the boat. He told the reporters,"We were staring into its right eye. It was a very 9 moment. The eye was about the 10 of a dinner plate. It was huge."
11 for the Johnson family,no one was hurt,but the yacht suffered 12 damage. The whale had ruined the mast and rigging一-the pole and ropes which hold the 13 ―and so the family was left 14 at sea, 10 miles from the shore. The 15 equipment was also damaged, but fortunately they had a cellphone and were able to call for help.
Why the whale jumped onto the yacht is a 16 , but the family thinks that maybe the boat had not 17 sailed between the whale and its baby calf. Perhaps the whale was trying to 18 its calf when it jumped,hitting the yacht by chance.
Whatever the reason, people are completely 19 that this incident hap?pened. There is over 135 million square miles of ocean, so what are the 20 of a whale jumping onto a 30-foot-long yacht? The chance of something like this happen?ing is minuscule,but it just shows that life is full of surprises.

完形填空
[文章大意]本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了来自英格兰的约翰逊一家人在海上乘坐快艇时遇到鲸鱼的惊险经历。
1. C "…that they might see some whales..."是被告诉的内容。他们在租快艇的时候，那里的人告诉他们，他们可能会看到鯨鱼。tell与they是被动的关系。
2. A到海上游玩，根据常识应该是租快艇，再结合下文的"...a large expensive boat for a 10-day sailing "- around the Whit?sunday Islands."可知hire"租赁"符合语境。
3. D从下文的"Two hours into their journey a nine-metre-long humpback whale…"可知是在海上旅行，trip意为"旅行"，符合语境。
4. D 从下文的"."they had no clue just how ― their viewing would be."可知，上下文是转折关系，D项符合语境。moreo?ver 意为" 并且" ，表 并列； nevertheless 尽管如此，不过；worth?while 意为" 值得 的"， 是形 容词。
5. B然而，他们不知道他们的观察会有多近。close意为"靠近的"，符合语境。wide宽的；vivid生动的；tense紧张的。
6. B 从下文的"…crashed into their boat..."可知，鲸鱼先从大海里跳出。leap意为"跳过，飞跃"，符合语境。swim"游泳" 与下文的crashed不相符；slip滑；stretch伸展。
7. C大儿子马克•约翰逊正在驾驶快艇，一听到猛烈的撞击声很快就认为快艇撞上了岩石。immediately立刻，马上； suddenly突然地；occasionally偶然地；accidentally偶然地，意外地。
8. D 从前面的"…when he looked up..."可知，他看到鲸鱼从快艇的甲板滑下。slide down"滑下"，符合语境。shoot射 ；jump跳跃；fall跌倒。
9. C 从上一句的"…'We were staring into its right eye.，"可知是可怕的时刻。frightening"令人恐惧的"，符合语境。ex?citing 令人兴奋的；surprising令人惊奇的；astonishing令人吃惊的。
10. A根据后面的a dinner plate可知，此处形容鲸鱼的眼睛像盘子那么大。size意为"大小，尺寸"，符合语境。
11. B 从下文的"…no one was hurt."可知，此处指"幸运地"。
12. A 从下文的damage和"The whale had ruined the mast and riggmg..."可知，船被破坏得很严重。severe"严重的"， 符合语境。
13. C "...the pole and ropes which hold the..."这是对前文的解释，栀杆和绳索都被弄坏，桅杆和绳索是支撑帆的。sail 在这里是名词，是"帆"的意思。
14. D由于船被破坏得很严重，因此这一家人就无助地留在海上。with no way"没有任何办法"，符合语境。by ail means ——定，务必；in no time立亥(]；from then on从那时起。from then on指时间，但此处主要强调他们发生了这样的情况是无助的，故选D。
15. A 从下文的"…but fortunately they had a cellphone and were able to call for help."可知，此处指的是与外界联系的无线电。radio"无线电"，符合语境。
16. B 从下文"…but the family thinks that maybe the boat had not — sailed between the whale —，，中的maybe和下文的per-haps可知，大家只是在猜测，都不知道为什么鲸鱼会跳上快艇。mystery"谜"，符合语境。
17. C大家猜测可能是快艇无意间行驶在了鲸鱼与小鲸鱼之间。根据语境可知用deliberately"故意地"。
18. D或许鲸鱼只是想接近小鯨鱼。
19. A不论是什么原因，人们对这件事情的发生仍感到很吃惊。amazed吃惊的。 ，
