在作者的记忆力爸爸无所不能。可是一次难忘的航行却让作者有了新的发现—原来父亲也需要别人的帮助!
小题1:根据第5段I swam to Dad可以确定是C(swimming),父亲精通航海术,却不会游泳。
小题2:根据下文,作者陪父亲一同去航海,而且还救了落水的父亲,可知作者在很小的时
候就学会了(learned)航海和游泳。
小题3:上次作者跟他父亲一起去航海,但却遇到了意外,作者好不容易才救起了落水的父
亲,当然是十分难忘(unforgettable)。
小题4:下文叙述了作者跟其父亲一起去航海的经历。根据Dad hadn’t sailed for years,可知作者在大学毕业回家后,邀请(invited)父亲一同前往,去航海。
小题5:根据下文When we were in the middle of the lake, a 42 wind came all of a sudden.可知,作者他们到了湖心,突然起风。自然出发的时候应该是风平浪静(calm),也才能够去航
海。
小题6:尽管父亲多年没有航海,但在父亲的掌控中,一切都进展顺利(go well)。
小题7:根据下文,他们的船随风颠簸,到处乱撞(violently),而且父亲还被卷落水中,可知
一定是狂风大作(strong)。
小题8:参考上一题。
小题9:想想当时,肯定他们是遇险了,在作者记忆中,父亲应该是能处理好一切的险情(danger),但这一次,却害怕了。(也许是老了吧,呵呵。)
小题10:根据he shouted in a trembling voice,可知父亲是害怕了,手也不听使唤了,颤抖的声音在那向作者求救。但是此时此刻,作者的爸爸“吓呆”了,不知如何是好。此处freeze表示“惊呆;吓呆”。
小题11:根据本句中的“he shouted in a trembling voice”可知作者的爸爸很害怕,大喊“救命”。
小题12:在作者的记忆中,爸爸可以解决任何“问题”。fix表示“解决(问题)”。
小题13:因为作者相信爸爸能够解决任何问题,所以总是向他寻求力量和庇护。 tum to表示“求教于;求助于”。后三项分别表示“与……生活在一起;忍受”“与……争论””反对”,都不符合语境。
小题14:作者还没有来得及回答,一个水“浪”就打到了小船上。前三项分别表示“喷泉”“溪流”“淋浴;阵雨”,均与语境不符。
小题15:根据下文中的“We were thrown into the water…”可知尽管作者冲向舵柄,”但是“已经太迟了。
小题16:下一句提到作者和爸爸被抛进了水中,由此可知巨大的水墙“打翻”了小船。A项“耗尽;顺利通过(考试等)”,B项“不断涌向”,D项“举起”,均不符合语境。
小题17:上一句提到作者的爸爸在水中漫无目的地挣扎,下文讲到作者如何帮父亲摆脱险境,由此可知作者在那一刻强烈地感觉到要“保护”他。
小题18:作者“快速地”游到爸爸身边,帮他爬上了船壳。
小题19:第四段提到作者的爸爸用颤抖的声音向作者求救,由此可知此时他为自己当时表现出来的“恐惧”感到尴尬。
小题20:更重要的是,作者发现轮到自己去“照看”父亲了。look out for sb.表示“关照”。
