题目内容
The night was dark, though sometimes the moving clouds allowed a star or two to be seen in the sky. The poor man held on to any bit of 1 they could find. They called to the Marie for 2 , but she was far 3 the reach of the human voice. At one o'clock in the morning suddenly some 4 were seen in the distance: another ship! The shouts of the 5 were heard on board, and willing hands pulled them out of the water. The 6 of the ship that had arrived at the scene 7 to save their lives was the Ellen. What had 8 her to the exact spot 9 the darkness and the pathless sea? Her captain had known 10 of the wreck (沉船) and had, indeed, 11 to sail away from it. But let him speak for himself.
“ 12 I was forced by the wind to change my course, a small bird flew across the ship once or twice and then flew at my face. I 13 of this until exactly the same thing happened a second time, 14 caused me to think it rather 15 . While I was thus 16 , the same bird, for the third time, made its appearance and flew 17 in the same way as before. I was then 18 to change my course back to the original one. I had not gone far 19 I heard a strange voice; and when I tried to 20 where they came from, I found I was in the middle of people who had been shipwrecked. I immediately did my best to save them.”

解析:
答案提示: 本文是记叙文。一只轮船在海上沉没了,船上的人们落入水中,一只鸟运用特殊的方法将此事告诉了另外一只船的船长,船长带着他的船队将落水的人们救起。 1.D 提示:hold on to意为“紧紧地抓住”。通读全文我们可以知道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。 2.B 提示:他们向“玛丽号”船求救。联系上下文我们可以知道the Marie是船的名字。 3.C 提示:beyond the reach of意为“在……范围之外”。人们向“玛丽号”船求救,然而船上的人们根本听不到他们的呼救声。 4.B 提示:lights的意思是“灯光”。C项有一定干扰性。从空后的another ship看,C项不合题意。 5.D 提示:其他选项均有较大的干扰性。联系上下文,这些人的身份我们一直不知道,因此D项为最佳选项。 6.A 提示:the Ellen是船的名字,因此,此空选name。 7.D 提示:in time及时;ahead of time提前;at times有时;on time准时。 8.A 提示:“是什么把她(船)带到这个地点的?” 9.C 提示:through the darkness and the pathless sea意为“穿过黑夜和茫茫大海”。 10.B 提示:从空后的“had,indeed, 46 (attempted) to sail away from it”及下一段,我们可以知道,船长事先对此事一无所知。 11.A 提示:因为不知道这里发生沉船事故,因此他曾试图将船开走。 12.A 提示:just as在这里引导时间状语从句。 13.C 提示:A项有较大干扰性。pay attention后的介词应该是to。 14.A 提示:which在这里引导非限制性定语从句,which指代“the same thing happened a second time”的内容。 15.D 提示:这件事让我感到不同寻常。 16.C 提示:considering在此相当于thinking。指船长认为鸟的举动有些异常。 17.B 提示:fly about意为“到处飞”。 18.C 提示:其他选项均有一定的干扰性。空前的was决定了B项不正确。force意为“强迫”,从文中我们可以看出没有什么强迫船长这么做,因此A项不合题意,显然D项也不正确。船长在这里说“鸟的异常举动劝服了我改变主意”。 19.A 提示:when在此意为“就在这时”。 20.C 提示:因为是黑夜,在茫茫大海上,船长一时辨不清声音来自什么地方,因此他首先确定声音的位置。where they had come from是宾语从句。 |
