Question

18．The sun is setting like a huge orange ball．It's the cool evening on a stretch of beach．The water is paring the shore，the breeze is blowing slightly．There are one or two joggers and a couple of fishermen．Most people have gone home for the day．
An old man，with rounded shoulders，bushy eyebrows，and bony features，carries the bucket up to the dock（碼頭）that goes out into the water．He stands on the dock and all of a sudden there come a mass of dancing dots-seagulls!The man takes out of his bucket handfuls of shrimps（蝦）and begins to throw them on the dock．Some seagulls land on his shoulders，some land on his hat，and they eat the shrimps．Long after the shrimps are gone his feathered friends remain．
Why is this man feeding seagulls？What could push him to do this as he does week after week？
The man in that scene is Eddie Rickenbacher，a famous World WarⅡpilot．His plane．The Flying Fortress，went down in 1942．No one could imagine that he and his eight passengers should escape death by climbing into two boats for thirty days．They fought thirst，the sun，and sharks．But what nearly killed them was starvation．Their foods were gone within eight days and they didn't have anything left．
Every day Rickenbacher and the passengers would have a daily afternoon devotional and prayer time．One day after the devotional，Rickenbacher put his hat over his eyes and tried to get some sleep．Within a few moments he felt something on his head．He knew in an instant it was a seagull．All the others on the two boats noticed the seagull．No one spoke，no one moved．Rickenbacher quickly grabbed the seagull and with thanksgiving，they ate the flesh of the bird．They used the remains for fish bait（魚(yú)餌）and survived．

Answer 1

分析 夕陽(yáng)像一個(gè)巨大的橙色的球．這是在海邊的一個(gè)涼爽的傍晚．海水拍打著岸邊，微風(fēng)輕輕地吹著．有一個(gè)或兩個(gè)慢跑者和幾個(gè)漁民．大多數(shù)人都結(jié)束了一天的工作回家了．
一位有著圓潤(rùn)的肩膀，濃密的眉毛的骨瘦如柴的老人帶著水桶來(lái)到立在水中的碼頭．他站在碼頭上，突然出現(xiàn)了一群飛舞的海鷗！他拿出盛有蝦的桶并開(kāi)始把它們?nèi)釉诖a頭上．有些海鷗站在他的肩上，有些站在他的帽子上，吃蝦．不久后，蝦沒(méi)了，只剩下了他帶著羽毛的朋友．
為什么這個(gè)人在喂海鷗呢？什么使得他一周又一周的這樣做呢？
在那個(gè)場(chǎng)景中的人是 Eddie Rickenbacher，二戰(zhàn)時(shí)著名的飛行員，他的飛機(jī)，The Flying Fortress于1942年跌落．沒(méi)人能想象得到，他和他的八名乘客通過(guò)爬到兩只船上三十天才得以逃生．他們與口渴，太陽(yáng)和鯊魚(yú)作斗爭(zhēng)，但幾乎殺死他們的是饑餓，他們的食物在八天內(nèi)就沒(méi)有了，他們沒(méi)有剩下任何東西．
每天 Rickenbacher和乘客都會(huì)將下午作為修靈和禱告的時(shí)間．一天做完禱告后，Rickenbache將帽子遮住眼睛，試圖睡一會(huì)．不一會(huì)兒，他覺(jué)得頭上有東西，他立刻就知道那是一只海鷗．兩條船上的其他人也都注意到了這只海鷗，沒(méi)有人說(shuō)話，也沒(méi)有人挪動(dòng)．Rickenbacher 帶著感恩的心情迅速抓住了海鷗，他們吃了鳥(niǎo)肉，用剩下的做魚(yú)餌，然后幸存了下來(lái)．

解答 答案
56選B  細(xì)節(jié)推理題  根據(jù)第一段"There are one or two joggers and a couple of fishermen．Most people have gone home for the day．"（有一個(gè)或兩個(gè)慢跑者和幾個(gè)漁民．大多數(shù)人都結(jié)束了一天的工作回家了．）可知，海邊很安靜．故選B．
57選B  主旨大意題 第四和第五段講述了Rickenbacher和乘客們?nèi)绾伪焕�，以及如何得救的過(guò)程，從而得知，是一只海鷗使得他們幸存下來(lái)，即把他能生存下來(lái)歸功于海鷗．故選B．
58選C  主旨大意題 通過(guò)通讀全文得知，本文采用了倒敘的手法．先是講了老人喂海鷗，然后敘述了事情的經(jīng)過(guò)：從飛機(jī)跌落到被困在小船上再到遇到海鷗并殺了吃掉，得以幸存最后出現(xiàn)開(kāi)頭的一幕---老人喂海鷗．故選C
59選D  主旨大意題  通過(guò)通讀全文得知，本文描述了老人及乘客們得以幸存完全歸功于海鷗，以及后來(lái)老人給海鷗喂食以報(bào)恩的故事．是圍繞著海鷗展開(kāi)的描寫(xiě)．故選D

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文采用了倒敘的手法完整地講述了一個(gè)小故事，掌握本文要理清故事的來(lái)龍去脈，并把握文章的主旨大意．
