Question

It is not easy for people to sail(航海) around the world in quite small boats. Sometimes the weather gets bad. Accidents(事故) can happen easily and quickly.

One family once had an accident. A big fish swam under their boat and bit holes(洞) in it. Sea water came in and the boat soon went down. Luckily these people had another small boat——a lifeboat, so they all got into the lifeboat. They lived in the boat for many days. They ate and slept, and always hoped.At last people in a ship saved them.

How do people live in a very small lifeboat for a long time? They must be strong in every way. They must have a hope, and they must have a strong desire(愿望) to live. People cannot drink seawater. If they drink a lot of sea water, they will quickly die. They must catch rainwater and drink it. They must also catch fish and birds for food. Lifeboats do not often carry cookers. So people cannot cook their food in the lifeboats. Raw(生的) fish and birds are not very nice but they are their only food. They must eat raw food, or they will die.

【解析】

试题分析；这篇文章通过讲述一家人在航海中遭遇大鱼咬他们的船造成船体进水，最后沉船，幸运的是他们都逃到一所救生艇上，最终获救的故事。作者告诉我们如果发生这种事情我们需要的不仅是食物和水，更重要的是活下来的信念。即使喝水不应当喝海水，应该喝雨水，船上如果没有带做饭工具的话，可以吃生的鱼和鸟来维持生命等到救援的到来。认真阅读回答问题。

1.1】细节辨析题，根据文章第二段第三行，so they all got into the lifeboat. They lived in the boat for many days. They ate and slept, and always hoped. 所以他们都到了救生艇。他们在船上生活了很多天，他们在小艇上吃睡。带给他们生存的希望。故选择D。

2.2】细节辨析题，根据文章第二段第一行，A big fish swam under their boat and bit holes(洞) in it. Sea water came in and the boat soon went down. 可知，他们的船被一条大鱼咬破了一个洞所以才进水的；故选D。

3.3】细节辨析题，，根据短文第三段They must catch rainwater and drink it. They must also catch fish and birds for food.可知，他们在海里的救生船上只能是吃生鱼和鸟，还有就是和雨水才得以生存了下来；故选D。

4.4】词义猜测题。根据短文第三段So people cannot cook their food in the lifeboats. Raw (生的) fish and birds are not very nice but they are their only food.可知他们无法做饭只能吃生的食物，由此可猜测cooker意为“炊具”，故选C

5.5】主旨大意题。根据短文内容可知只有我们有求生的愿望和强烈的意志就一定能够拯救自己，所以当有危险时，我们一定要有求生的强烈愿望；所以C项描述最符合本文内容；故选C。

考点：故事性短文阅读。
