The Johnson family from England believe they are lucky to be alive after surviving an incredible incident off the coast of Australia. The Johnsons had been ____ that they might see some whales when they were ____ a yacht—a large expensive boat for a 10-day sailing ____ around the Whitsunday Islands. ____, they had no clue just how ____ their viewing would be. Two hours into their journey a nine-meter-long humpback whale ____ out of the ocean and crashed into their boat before returning to the water.
  Mark Johnson,the eldest son,was sailing the yacht when he heard an immense bang and a thud (重击声). He ____ thought the yacht had hit a rock. But when he looked up, he saw the whale ____ down the deck of the boat. He told the reporters, “We were staring into its right eye. It was a very ____ moment. The eye was about the ____ of a dinner plate. It was huge!”
  ____ for the Johnson family, no one was hurt, but the yacht suffered ____ damage. The whale had ruined the mast and rigging—the pole and ropes which hold the ____ —and so the family was left with no way at sea, 10 miles from the shore. The ____ equipment was also damaged, but fortunately they had a cell phone and were able to call for help.
  Why the whale jumped onto the yacht is a ____,but the family thinks that maybe the boat had not ____ sailed between the whale and its baby calf. Perhaps the whale was trying to ____ its calf when it jumped, and hit the yacht by accident.
  ____ the reason, people are completely ____ that this incident happened. There is over 135 million square miles of ocean, so what are the ____ of a whale jumping onto a 30-foot-long yacht? The possibility of something like this happening is extremely small, but it just shows that life is full of surprises.

【小题1】考查动词:A. explained解释,B. learned了解,C. told知道,D. taught教,约翰逊一家事先被告知如果他们租船出海,则有可能在海上看到鲸鱼。由下文they had no clue just how...可知别人并未给他们提示(clue),这与told呼应。explain解释,语法上用在这里要加to。learn学习,了解。用这里语态不对。teach教导,教,这里意思不合。选C
【小题2】考查动词:A. taking   拿,B. driving开车,C. hiring雇佣,D. running跑,由后文的a large expensive boat for a 10-day sailing...及two hours into their journey ...可知他们是旅行;另外第二段首句Mark Johnson,the eldest son,was sailing the yacht告诉读者驾船的是他们的长子,可知这是租船之后的自驾游,否则开船的就该是船舶公司的人了。选C
【小题3】考查名词: A. competition竞争,B. game游戏,C. training训练,D. trip旅行,下文的journey与这里的trip呼应,其它选项不当。选D
【小题4】考查副词:A. Moreover还有,B. Thus因此,C. Meanwhile同时,D. However然而,前文说到了美好的一面——出海可能见到座头鲸,但没提示潜在的危险,意思出现了对比,所以however适合这一空。选D
【小题5】考查形容词:A. exciting令人兴奋的,B. close关闭的,C. vivid生动的,D. tense紧张的,有上文可知他们租船开始十天的旅程10-day sailing,但出发两小时后Two hours into their journey 他们就碰到了鲸鱼,体现了how close。选B
【小题6】考查动词:A. swam游泳,B. leapt猛然行动,骤增,剧增C. slipped滑,D. stretched伸展,leap out of意思为jump out of。这与空后的crash into以及第50空后面的a whale jumping onto a 30-foot-long yacht呼吁,所以B正确。
【小题7】考查副词:A. suddenly突然B. occasionally偶然,C. immediately立刻,D. casually随意地,前面说到他们家族的长子听到一声巨响和撞击声,他怀疑船触礁了,根据常识应该是立刻去查看受损情况。选C
【小题8】考查动词:A. drifting 流动,随意移动B. jumping跳,C. falling落下,D. sliding滑,他看见鲸鱼在甲板上滑动,选D
【小题9】考查形容词:A. surprising令人惊讶的,B. annoying令人生气的,C. frightening令人害怕的,D. astonishing令人惊讶的,从后面的句子:The eye was about the __60__ of a dinner plate. It was huge!”可知鲸鱼的眼睛很大很吓人。选C
【小题10】考查名词: A. size尺寸,大小,B. sample样本,C. range范围,射程,D. form形式,鲸鱼的眼睛有餐盘那么大,选A
【小题11】考查副词:A. Certainly当然,B. Luckily幸运地,C. Definitely确实,D. Possibly可能,从后面的句子:no one was hurt,可知对Johnson一家没有人受伤是幸运的,选B
【小题12】考查形容词:A. severe严重的,B. extreme极端的,C. actual实际的,D. special特殊的,从后面的句子:The whale had ruined the mast and rigging—the pole and ropes which hold the __63__可知但是快艇遭受严重的破坏,选A

【小题14】考查名词:A. radio收音机,无线电,B. craft手艺,C. guide向导,D. compass指南针,从后面的句子:but fortunately they had a cell phone and were able to call for help.可知他们的无线电设备都受到破坏,选A
【小题15】考查名词:A. problem问题; B. mystery(未解之)谜; C. suspect怀疑,嫌疑D. question疑问,问题。句意:为何鲸鱼能正好跳到他们船的甲板上,这任然是一个迷。but the family thinks that maybe...中maybe提示了问题的不确定性,只是猜测,所以B正确。
【小题16】考查副词:A. carefully仔细地,B. surely当然,C. deliberately故意地,D. simply简单地,句意:他们猜测可能是船不经意间驶到这头鲸鱼和她的幼鲸之间,因此她想跳过船去抵近她的幼崽。not deliberately不经意间,无意间。所以C正确。其它各项不符合情景。
【小题17】考查动词:A. see看见,B. touch触摸,C. tend趋向,照料,D. reach到达,母鲸鱼想抵近幼崽(以便于提供保护)。选D
【小题18】考查连词:A. Whenever无论何时,B. Wherever无论哪里,C. Whoever  无论谁D. Whatever无论什么,不管原因是什么,人们都惊奇于这样(这样小概率的)事件(居然)发生了。选D

A few minutes later, she stopped crying, but still looked     .
When all the seats were taken, the driver started the engine. The conductor began to collect the fares. When she came to an old man in worn-out clothes, he    that he had spent all his money he accidentally got on a wrong bus and now was trying to go home. On hearing this, she ordered the old man to    the bus. The old man was almost in tears as he     her to let him take the bus home. The driver took the conductor's side and repeated the conductor's      .
The woman was watching the incident.      the driver and the conductor raised their voices at the old man, she shouted.
“Stop      him! Can't you see he's only trying to get home”
“He doesn't have any money!” the driver      .
“Well, that's no      to throw him off the bus.” She insisted.
Then she reached inside her blouse, took out her       money, and handed it to the conductor. “Here's his fare and mine. Just stop giving him a      time.
All heads turned to the woman. “ It's only money,” she shrugged.
She rode the rest of her way home       a happy smile, with the money she'd lost earlier   .
On the road of life, the help of strangers can     our roads and lift our spirits. How much sweeter the      will be when we make it a little smoother for others!

In 1982, Steven Callahan was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank.He got into a life boat, but his supplies were   21 .His chances of surviving were small.  22  when three fishermen found him 76 days later, he was alive —much   23  than he was when he started, but alive.
His   24  of how he survived is fascinating.His cleverness —how he   25  to catch fish, how he evaporated(蒸发) sea water to   26  fresh water—is very interesting.
But the thing that   27  my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost, and there seemed no   28  in continuing the struggle.He was starved and 29  worn-out.Giving up would have seemed the only possible choice.
When people   30  these kinds of circumstances, they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going.Many people in   31  desperate circumstances 32   in or go mad.Something the survivors do with their thoughts helps them find the courage to carry on   33  difficulties.
"I tell myself I can   34  it," wrote Callahan in his book.-Compared to what others have been through, I'm fortunate.I tell myself these things over and over,  35  up courage..."
I wrote that down after 1 read it.It   36  me as something important.And I've told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed   37  off or when my problems seemed too terrible.And every time I've said it, I have always come back to my   38  
The truth is,our circumstances are only bad    39   to something better.But others have been though the much worse,that is,in comparison with what others have been through,you’re fortunate.Tell this to yourself over sad over again,and it will help you   40  though the rough situations with a little more courage.
