Question

My father was Chief engineer of a merchant ship, which was sunk in World War II. The book
Night of the U-boats told the story.
Memories
In September, 1940, my mother, sister and I went to Swansea, where my father’s ship was getting ready to sail. We brought him a family photograph to be kept with him at all times and keep him sail.
Then I remember my mother lying face down, sobbing. She had heard from a friend that the ship had been sunk by a torpedo(魚(yú)雷).
I can remember the arrival of the telegram(電報(bào)),which in those days always brought bad news. My grand- mother opened it. It read, “Safe, Love Ted.”
My most vivid memory is being woken and brought down to sit on my father’s knee, his arm in a bandage.
He was judged unfit to return to sea and took a shore job in Glasgow for the rest of the war. For as long as I can remember, he had a weak heart. Mother said it was caused by the torpedoes. He said it was because of the cigarettes. Whichever, he died suddenly in his early 50s.
Ten years later I read Night of the U-boats and was able to complete the story.
Torpedo
One torpedo struck the ship. Father was in the engine room, where the third engineer was killed. He shut down the engines to slow the ship making it easier for it to be abandoned.
By the time he got on deck (甲板) he was alone. Every lifeboat was gone except one which had stuck firm. When he tried to cut it free it swung against the ship, injuring his hand and arm. He had no choice but to jump—still with the photograph in his pocket.
Three days later, he and other survivors were safe in Glasgow. All 23 with him signed the back of the photograph.
In my room is the book and the photograph. Often, glass in hand, I have wondered how I would have dealt with an explosion, a sinking ship, a jump into a vast ocean and a wait for rescue? Lest（以免）we forget, I have some more whisky and toast the heroes of the war

BADC
試題分析：本文為記敘文。父親是二戰(zhàn)期間一艘商船的總工程師。在1940年9月的某一天他的商船不幸被魚(yú)雷擊中下沉。幸運(yùn)的是他活了下來(lái)。
1.推斷題：找到Memories下面第一段，講到父親會(huì)從S起航，我們帶給他family photograph目的是be kept with him和keep him safe，推斷出我們是去給父親送行，選B
2.細(xì)節(jié)題：根據(jù)telegram定位，找到Memories下面第三段，電報(bào)內(nèi)容：safe，確定作者從電報(bào)中知道爸爸還活著，選A
3.細(xì)節(jié)題：after his ship was attack 定位， 找到Torpedo部分，第二段首句he was alone確定爸爸是最后一個(gè)離開(kāi)船的，選D。
4.主旨大意題。文章首先指出父親的身份——二戰(zhàn)期間一艘商船的總工程師。接著描述他負(fù)責(zé)的商船在二戰(zhàn)中被魚(yú)雷擊中下沉及其本人逃生的經(jīng)過(guò)。由此判斷全文主題是一位輪船工程師在戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)年代的一次經(jīng)歷。故選C
考點(diǎn)：考查故事類(lèi)短文
