【解析】

试题分析：

1.B 上下文串联。从row和the waves stuck against the side of the boat,说明答案是boat.

2.D 上下文串联。从下文中she was tired…我们可知他在划船时是逆风的。D正确。

3.D 从海湾的这边到另外一边,one…the other…

4.D 从and uneven,我们可以知道和它并列的应该是Drough波涛汹涌的。

5.A 从下文判断，风是越来越大，所以形式对她越来越难。A正确。

6.C 这里表示，只要她一停止划船，休息一会，潮水就会让她的船倒退会海湾，因为风实在太大了，C正确。

7.D 解释同16，且和第一段第一句相呼应。

8.C 从she wasn’t even halfway说明她没有中途放弃。故C正确。

9.A 从she was already tired可知她的受不好，只能用A表示酸痛。

10.B 她觉得非常无助的时候，觉得对自己来说，要滑到对面不可能达到了。Make it是固定词组，做到。

11.B 用dropped说明他非常沮丧，无助，B正确。

12.D 当她感觉无助的时候，根据船的晃动，这是一种感觉。故D正确。

13.B 由于风向的改变，她可以不必和风做斗争，根据下文，我们也知道她是能到达对岸的。故B正确，

14.C 情况有所好转，唯一的C，其它三项和句意不符。

15.A 说明她由于情况的好转，感觉心里已经没有那种想burst的感觉了。Not …any more不再。

16.D 从开头的having left the town我们可知他离开了小镇，所以离那里越来越远，灯是越来越小。

17.D从one of the oars banged against the side of the boad可以判断她抓住了桨。D正确。

18.A 从文中可知她划船应该是在晚上，所以和asleep相对应的是A，她是否在做梦。

19.C 这个女孩最后划了一下桨，让小船靠了岸，在划桨的时候，我们一般是把桨向身边一侧拉，故C正确。

20.B 从she had come home我们可以想象她心情很高兴。故B正确。
