【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述了Ellen号船长根据一只小鸟的异常表现而保持航线，最后在漆黑夜里的海上，救了海里沉船事故中的辛存者的故事。

1.考查名词。Land陆地；grass草；hope希望；wood木头。Hold on to意思是“紧紧地抓住”。通读全文可知现在这些人是在茫茫大海里，他们必须抱住能找到的任何一块木头，以帮助自己逃生。故选D。

2.考查名词。Food食物；help帮助；rest休息；stop停止。根据句意：他们向“玛丽号”船求救。联系上下文可知the Marie是船的名字。故选B。

3.考查介词。Off离开；out向外；beyond超过；from从...。根据句意：人们向“玛丽号”求救，然而船上的人们根本听不到他们的呼救声。此处考查短语beyoud the reach of 意思是“在...的范围之外”。故选C。

4.考查名词。People人们；lights灯光；ships船；houses房子。根据下文another ship出现，根据常识可知漆黑的夜里能发现远处的船，是靠灯光。故选B。

5.考查名词。Sailors士兵；captains船长；rescuers救援者；swimmers游泳人。联系上下文可知，这些人的身份我们并不知道，只知道他们在水里，因此D项最合适。故选D。

6.考查名词。Name名字；owner拥有者；captain船长；finder发现者。the Ellen是船的名字，因此此处应用name。故选A。

7.考查词组。ahead of time提前；at times有时；on time按时；in time及时。根据句意：及时赶到现场，挽救了他们生命的船的名字是Ellen。故选D。

8.考查动词。Brought带来；carried搬运；kept保持；caused引起。根据句意：是什么把她带到这个地点的？故选A。

9.考查介词。In在...里；on在...上面；through通过；around在...周围。根据句意：穿过黑夜和茫茫大海。故选C。

10.考查指示代词。Everything每件事；nothing没有事；something一些事；anything任何事。根据空后的“had, indeed, _____ (attempted) to sail away from it”及下一段，我们可以知道，船长对此事一无所知。故选B。

11.考查动词。Attempted试图；managed管理；allowed允许；demanded需求。根据上下文可知因为他不知道这里发生了沉船事故，因此他曾“试图”把船开走。故选A。

12.考查词组。Just as正当的时候；In case以防；Only because只因；Even though尽管。根据句意：正当我因大风被迫要改变航线时，一只小鸟一次或两次的飞过船，然后飞到我面前。由此可知此处引导时间状语，只有A合适。故选A。

13.考查词组。paid no attention不重视；took good care珍重；took no notice不注意；kept close watch密切注视。根据句意：我根本就没有注意到这一次直到完全相同的事情再次发生。 pay attention后搭配的介词应该是to。故选C。

14.考查代词。Which那一个；what什么；that那个；this这个。引导从句，D排除。代词在句中作主语，B排除。此处是非限制性定语从句，故用which。故选A。

15.考查形容词。Interesting有趣的；funny好笑的；friendly有好的；unusual不寻常的。联系上下文“不寻常”更符合语境。故选D。

16.考查动名词。Searching搜索；expecting期待；considering考虑到；studying研究。considering在此处相当于thinking。指船长认为鸟的举动有些异常。故选C。

17.考查副词。Back向后地；about到处；up向上；down向下。fly about 意思是“到处飞”。故选B。

18.考查动词。Forced被迫；decided决定；persuaded说服；forbidden禁止。联系上下文可知船长在这里说“鸟的异常举动劝服我改变了主意”。故选C。

19.考查连词。When当...时候；until直到...时候才；then然后；while与此同时。when引导的句子的谓语部分可以是短暂性的也可以是持续性的动词或结构。while 引导的句子的谓语部分必须是可以延续的动词或结构。until肯定形式表示的意思是“做某事直至某时”，动词必须是延续性的，否定形式表达的意思是“直至某时才做某事”，动词为延续性或非延续性都可以根据句意：当我听到奇怪的声音时，我离得并不远。故选A。

20.考查词组。listen to听；search for搜索；make sure确信；look out当心。因为是黑夜，在茫茫大海上，船长一时辨不清声音来自何方，因此他首先确定声音的位置。故选C。
