答案：1．C;2．A;3．C;4．B;5．C;6．A;7．C;8．C;9．D;10．A;11．D;12．B;13．A;14．A;15．B;16．B;17．D;18．C;19．D;20．A;
解析：

(1)	关键是后面一句“Then a terrible storm came”，而且前面又有not，便确定从C、D项中选，unusual是“与众不同的，不寻常的”；uncommon是“不普通的，不凡的，罕见的”，此处强调不与众不同，同前几小时一样，没看出不寻常，故选C。
(2)	暴风雨过后，人们检查了一下船舱，check是“(仔细)查验”，test是“测试”，watch是“观察”，look at是一般地看，再加上发现网没了，发动机和无线电坏了，确定是仔细查验。
(3)	发动机和无线电坏了，不起作用是didn't work/doesn't work，通过上下文了解到不是发动机和无线电也没有了，船在，它们当然也在了。damage应用被动结构。
(4)	表达淡水应用fresh water，与food构成人们赖以生存的必要条件。clean干净的；clear清楚的，清晰的。
(5)	前面说道“Their fishing nets were gone．”，打鱼当然用网了，没有网他们就无法打鱼了。其他选项皆不合适。而“engine and radio”只是坏了，没有他们也可以打鱼。
(6)	动词的比较，从前后语境来看是伸出手捉海龟，reach具有“伸出手”的意思。而B、C、D三个选项有相似的意思，是“走出”“步出”“站出”的意思，他们若出了渔船不就掉入大海里了吗？所以三个都不可以。
(7)	从后一句“…the boat's wood cabin(木船舱)and made a fire．They also built a simple roof to prevent the sun and the rain．”可知，他们是把木船舱拆了生火，而搭起了一简易的棚子来挡雨和阳光。他们是用木块生火做饭，故用fire。
(8)	cut off表示“切断(电源、交通等)”，cut down是“割下，切下”，tore down是“撕下，拆下”，put down是“放下，记下”。
(9)	从后文一句“The men stood up and licked(舔)the water from the roof．”可以看出这里要表达的是“盛，容纳”之意，只有hold有“容纳”之意。
(10)	从最后一段“Nobody sent Joel's letter to his wife．He 　　17　　 his letter to his wife．”可以看出Joel是给他妻子写了一封信。
(11)	表示死的过程和方式。when是表示时间，if是“是否”，why表示原因，从句意看他是要让妻子了解他是怎么死的，即死的方式。
(12)	从前后语境看，指他的妻子和孩子，而且最后一段也提到他说的话“On the ocean I realized how I love my wife and children”。妻子当然要用woman。
(13)	文中说到“We are going to die now．”，再结合语境可知他们此时非常虚弱。另外与thin并列指相貌和体质，其他三个形容词在此显然不合适。
(14)	躺下用lie down，lie的过去式是lay，很长时间没下雨了，他们认为要渴死了，于是便躺下来合上眼睛等死，出乎意料的是，天下起了雨，救了他们，故A项最恰当。
(15)	从语境看，他们喝了水，有了力气呼救，而且后面提到他们被救了，故用cry。
(16)	他们在呼救，一艘中国船“发现了”他们最符合语境，pick up是“把某人接走”，在此并不是有目的的，而是偶然的。
(17)	show sth．to sb．“把某物拿给某人看”，A、B、C三项都不符合当时的情景。pass是“传递”的意思；read sth．to sb．读什么给某人听。
(18)	keep是“保存，保留”，put away是“放起，储藏”，remember是“记住”，send是“传递，送”。从语境看，Joel是想要把此信永远保留，作为纪念。
(19)	my family包括B、C两项，A项不合语境，海上历险使Joel更懂得了珍惜家庭与生命。
(20)	that代替海上的那段历险经历。
