题目内容
6.Having worked as captain of the lifeboat at Portland Bay in the north of England for over thirty years now,I feel quite proud of my career.In my time,I've rescued fishermen with broken-down boats,swimmers (61)swept(sweep) out to sea and once even a pilot whose helicopter had developed engine (62)failure(fail).I've always been mad about the sea,and about the lifeboat.Both my father and grandfather were volunteers on the lifeboat.(63)However/Nevertheless,I'm the first one in the family to be captain.This means that different from my father and grandfather,I work full-time at the lifeboat station.(64)The rest of the crew are volunteers (65)working (work) in other jobs locally.When the alarm goes,to signal a call-out,the crew members must drop whatever they (66)are doing (do) and report for duty (67)immediately(immediate)---we can be out on the water within a few minutes of the alarm sounding.
The coastline here can be one of the (68)worst (bad) places in England.When the wind is in the east,the waves can be huge and there are a lot of rocks just beneath the surface of the water,(69)which makes it a dangerous place for shipping.But the sea feels (70)like a home for me---it's where I belong,in spite of its dangers.
分析 本介绍的是一位救生艇船长的故事.
我三十多岁的时候在波特兰北部的还湾担任救生艇船长,我为自己的事业感到自豪.我用过救了渔民,游泳者,甚至有一次一个飞行员,他的直升机出现了引擎故障.我的父亲和祖父都是救生艇上的志愿者.然而,我是家里第一个做船长的人,我在救生站全职工作.其余的船员都是在当地工作的志愿者,当警报响起时,船员们必须放弃他们正在做的任何事情,并马上报告值班,我们要在警报声几分钟之内就离开水面.这里的海岸线可能是英国最糟糕的地方之一,当刮东风时,海浪会很大,水面下面有很多岩石,这是一个危险的航运地点.但是大海对我来说就像一个家---尽管我有属于它的危险.
解答 61.swept.考查非谓语动词.sweep out to sea 做swimmers定语,二者之间是被动关系,表示"被冲入大海的游泳者".
62.failure.考查派生词.engine failure表示"发动机事故",这个飞行员由于发动机事故而坠海.
63.However/Nevertheless.考查连词.Both my father and grandfather were volunteers on the lifeboat 和I'm the first one in the family to be captain二者之间是转折关系,所以用However/Nevertheless.
64.The.考查冠词.根据rest of the crew 可知rest特指其他的船员.
65.working.考查非谓语动词.work in other jobs locally做 volunteers 的定语,二者之间是主动关系.所以用doing.
66.are doing.考查谓语动词.根据When the alarm goes,to signal a call-out可知当报警器想起的时候,船员会放下他们正在做的事,因此答案用现在进行时态.
67.immediately.考查副词.修饰句子 the crew members must drop whatever they (66)are doing (do) and report for duty 用副词.
68.worst.考查形容词的等级.根据修饰词one of the 可知用最高级,表示最糟的地方之一.
69.which.考查关系词.定语从句makes it a dangerous place for shipping的先行词是the waves can be huge and there are a lot of rocks just beneath the surface of the water,所以用which代指整件事.
70.like.考查固定短语.feel like表示"感到像",表示"大海感到就像我的家".
