解析:

本文是一篇記敘文,題材涉及到人與自然。作者通過對洶涌的海浪和船員以及輪船所處的危險境遇的形象描述,使我們認(rèn)識到了大自然的威力,從中感悟到面對自然災(zāi)害,人類為了求生就必須付出勇氣和智慧。這類題材具有時代感,因為水災(zāi)、地震、暴風(fēng)時常侵?jǐn)_著我們,為了保護我們幸福的家園,我們必須戰(zhàn)勝自然,至少盡可能減少自然災(zāi)難給我們帶來的損失。所以這類話題的文章在高考中的出現(xiàn)頻率一直較高。題目的設(shè)置多數(shù)是情景描述的詞匯運用,如本題中的1、3、10等小題;和一些貫穿全文的行文邏輯試題,如2、4、6等小題。一般來說這種試題難度不大,適合考生的認(rèn)知特點,解題的關(guān)鍵是要準(zhǔn)確把握故事的情景,合理推斷故事的發(fā)展和結(jié)局。

1.A情景判斷題。本句話意思是“18歲之后離家工作”,所以要用left。went“回家”;landed“著陸”;forgot“忘記”。

2.B行文邏輯題。根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容可推知“我在客輪(passenger ship)上工作”。

3.C生活常識題。童年一直觀看大大小小的輪船進(jìn)出港口,長大之后去當(dāng)海員,可知“我”對航海的愛好和向往,所以對此,“我”很是“興奮”。A.worried“擔(dān)心的”;B.narrow“狹窄的”;C.excited“興奮的”;D.sure“對……有把握的”。

4.D行文邏輯題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容:當(dāng)海員,即“航行”在太平洋上,所以用sailed。A.struck“撞擊,侵襲”;B.imagined“想象”;C.remarked“評淪”。

5.D情景判斷題。由brilliant“色彩艷麗的”可知,陽光下的海水肯定是“漂亮的”,所以用beautiful。A.shallow“淺的”;B.terrifying“令人恐懼的”;C.irregular“不規(guī)則的”。

6.C行文邏輯題。上文談到“The brilliant blue waters”,下文又說“both when it was quiet and when it Was violent”,很顯然此處是在描述在暴風(fēng)雨的天氣下“海水”呈現(xiàn)出的樣子。

7.B行文邏輯題。由后文“I knew it was the life for me”可知“我喜愛大!保蔬xB項。

8.D行文邏輯題。根據(jù)“我喜愛大!,可知“從一開始我就知道它是我生命的全部”。from the beginning“從一開始”;in the end“最后”;what's more“而且”;that's to say“那就是說”。

9.D行文邏輯題。下文描述了客輪遇難,所以這是“我”的一次“經(jīng)歷”,故選D.experience。A.dream“夢想”;B.practice“實踐,慣例”;C.imagination“想象”。

10.C詞匯運用題。這句話表示“我們未能及時避免,所以趕上了暴風(fēng)雨”。get out of在此意為“避免”。get in the way“擋住路”;get up和get down不與the way搭配。

11.B行文邏輯題。由下文“The wind grew stronger and stronger”可知此處指遭遇暴風(fēng)雨襲擊,故選B.storm。

12.A情景判斷題。指風(fēng)速“達(dá)到”每小時50英里,故用up to。

13.A情景判斷題。句意為“如山的大浪向一邊推著輪船”。push“推,擠”;pull“扯,拉”;draw“拉,拖”;look“看”。故只能用push。

14.B情景判斷題。輪船在大浪中掙扎,一浪接一浪,因此此處指輪船受到“攻擊”,故用B.a(chǎn)ttacked。A.protected“保護”;C.destroyed“毀壞”;D.a(chǎn)pplied“申請,應(yīng)用”。

15.D詞匯運用題。作為船員,都有拯救輪船的想法,故用attempt表示“試圖,努力”。A.request“要求”;B.decision“決定”;C.sense“意義”。

16.C行文邏輯題。根據(jù)“there was a breakdown in the engine room”判斷此處要用stopped表示“停止”。

17.A行文邏輯題。根據(jù)故事發(fā)展的結(jié)果可知,此處表示“我們什么也不能做”,故用nothing

18.A行文邏輯題。由下文可知“船上的人上了救生船”,因此推斷此處指船長下達(dá)了棄船命令。 

19.B行文邏輯題。由“At dawn the Captain gave the order to leave the ship”可知“船已經(jīng)到了不能挽救的地步”,所以推斷它“沉人”大海中。 

20.C情景判斷題。輪船已經(jīng)下沉,因此只能看見在波浪中的一些救生船,故選C項。

A Strange Greeting, a True Feeling Last week I was invited to a doctor’s meeting at the Ruth hospital for incurables.

Albert Einstein said, “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.” Once __41 __, such opportunities are like valuable diamonds hidden in the sand.
Several years ago, I spoke at a school about how we were surrounded by “___42___  ” if we could only recognize them. A man stopped by to see me, and I remembered him as somebody who had suffered through a(n) ___43___ divorce (離婚) and was examining what was most important to him. He took a small ___44___ out of his pocket. Here is what he said to me that day.
“I ___45___ on this stone when I was leaving church last Sunday. You had spoken about  ___46___ opportunities—diamonds. I put the stone in my ___47___ to remind me to look for those “diamonds” that I need. I have been trying to sell my business . On Monday morning, a man who seemed interested in ___48___ some of my stock (股票) stopped by. I thought, ‘Here’s my diamond—don’t let it ___49___!’ I sold the entire stock to him by noon. Now my next diamond is to find a new ___50___  !”
Not long afterward, he did find a new and better job. From then on, he decided to keep his stone with him all the time as a ___51___ to look for “diamonds” as he dug through the ___52___ of life.
Richard DeVos is right when he points out. “This is an exciting world. It is filled with opportunities. Great moments wait around every corner.” Those moments are diamonds that,   ___53___ left unrecognized, will be forever lost.
Are you looking for “diamonds” every day? If not, you may ___54___ pass them by! Perhaps there is a diamond of opportunity hidden in the difficulty you’re ___55___ now.

We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects (缺陷) that can never be changed. “I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things   31 !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe   32 .
These comments may come from stories about us that have been   33  for years—often from   34  childhood. These stories may have no   35  in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations  36  my development? I was never   37  to work on cars or be around   38 . When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!
Six years later,   39 , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do. On the positive side, I   40  down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the   41  side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”
Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life   42  and told him about my   43  performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “  44  is it that you can solve   45  mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”
Suddenly I realized that I didn’t  46  from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to  47 . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been  48  my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true.   49  , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost   50  we choose.
