Answer 1

【答案】

【1】another

【2】warned

【3】safely

【4】advised

【5】straight

【6】cause

【7】items

【解析】

泰坦尼克号是一个巨大的英国客轮，它在1912年第一次旅行撞到大西洋的冰山，发生沉船。没有足够的救生船给所有的乘客，超过1 500个乘客丧生。本文介绍了另一个可怕的沉船事件。

【1】句意：还有另一个可怕的沉船。

根据It was the sinking of the Lusitania（卢西塔尼亚号).之后介绍了除了泰坦尼克号的另一次沉船事件，another表示泛指的“另一个；在一个”。故填another。

【2】句意：在华盛顿的德国大使馆警告游客海上航线的危险性。

此空缺少谓语动词，warn表示“警告”，warn sb about sth表示“警告某人某事”。时态是一般过去时。warn的过去式是warned。故填warned。

【3】句意：卢西塔尼亚号安全的航行了前五天。

此空为副词，修饰动词sailed。根据On May 7, 1915出现了些问题，可知前五天是安全的。safely表示“安全地”。故填safely。

【4】句意：在1915年5月7日，卢西塔尼亚号因为敌人的舰艇，所以船被要求快速行驶，做曲线航行。

此空缺少谓语动词，并且谓语动词与the Lusitania的关系是被动关系。根据enemy’s submarine可知是被敌人的潜艇要求。advise表示“警告”，此处用被动语态。故填advised。

【5】句意：然而，由于大雾船长减速，直线行驶。

根据This made the ship an easy target, A German submarine fired at the Lusitania…可知卢西塔尼亚号并没有按照敌人的要求做，而是减速、直线行驶。此空是形容词作定语修饰名词。straight表示“直线的”。故填straight。

【6】句意：第二次爆炸的原因仍然是个迷。

此空是名词，并表示特指。根据Right after the first one, there was a second explosion. The ship sank in about 18 minutes.可知第二次爆炸至关重要。但是为什么有第二次爆炸原因不明。因此此空应为“原因”，特指第二次爆炸的原因。cause表示“原因”。故填cause。

【7】句意：但是为什么海上航线会携带这些物品？

根据Later, divers found large amounts of bullets, shells, gold, and cash in the ship cargo (货物 ).可知船只携带了子弹，炮弹，金子和现金等。此处的these i___7___是代指上句提到的物品。items表示“所有物品”。故填items。
