本文是一篇記敘文，題材涉及到人與自然。作者通過對洶涌的海浪和船員以及輪船所處的危險(xiǎn)境遇的形象描述，使我們認(rèn)識到了大自然的威力，從中感悟到面對自然災(zāi)害，人類為了求生就必須付出勇氣和智慧。這類題材具有時(shí)代感，因?yàn)樗疄?zāi)、地震、暴風(fēng)時(shí)常侵?jǐn)_著我們，為了保護(hù)我們幸福的家園，我們必須戰(zhàn)勝自然，至少盡可能減少自然災(zāi)難給我們帶來的損失。所以這類話題的文章在高考中的出現(xiàn)頻率一直較高。題目的設(shè)置多數(shù)是情景描述的詞匯運(yùn)用，如本題中的1、3、10等小題；和一些貫穿全文的行文邏輯試題，如2、4、6等小題。一般來說這種試題難度不大，適合考生的認(rèn)知特點(diǎn)，解題的關(guān)鍵是要準(zhǔn)確把握故事的情景，合理推斷故事的發(fā)展和結(jié)局。
1．A情景判斷題。本句話意思是“18歲之后離家工作”，所以要用left。went“回家”；landed“著陸”；forgot“忘記”。
2．B行文邏輯題。根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容可推知“我在客輪(passenger ship)上工作”。
3．C生活常識題。童年一直觀看大大小小的輪船進(jìn)出港口，長大之后去當(dāng)海員，可知“我”對航海的愛好和向往，所以對此，“我”很是“興奮”。A．worried“擔(dān)心的”；B．narrow“狹窄的”；C．excited“興奮的”；D．sure“對……有把握的”。
4．D行文邏輯題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容：當(dāng)海員，即“航行”在太平洋上，所以用sailed。A．struck“撞擊，侵襲”；B．imagined“想象”；C．remarked“評淪”。
5．D情景判斷題。由brilliant“色彩艷麗的”可知，陽光下的海水肯定是“漂亮的”，所以用beautiful。A．shallow“淺的”；B．terrifying“令人恐懼的”；C．irregular“不規(guī)則的”。
6．C行文邏輯題。上文談到“The brilliant blue waters”，下文又說“both when it was quiet and when it Was violent”，很顯然此處是在描述在暴風(fēng)雨的天氣下“海水”呈現(xiàn)出的樣子。
7．B行文邏輯題。由后文“I knew it was the life for me”可知“我喜愛大�！保蔬xB項(xiàng)。
8．D行文邏輯題。根據(jù)“我喜愛大海”，可知“從一開始我就知道它是我生命的全部”。from the beginning“從一開始”；in the end“最后”；what's more“而且”；that's to say“那就是說”。
9．D行文邏輯題。下文描述了客輪遇難，所以這是“我”的一次“經(jīng)歷”，故選D．experience。A．dream“夢想”；B．practice“實(shí)踐，慣例”；C．imagination“想象”。
10．C詞匯運(yùn)用題。這句話表示“我們未能及時(shí)避免，所以趕上了暴風(fēng)雨”。get out of在此意為“避免”。get in the way“擋住路”；get up和get down不與the way搭配。
11．B行文邏輯題。由下文“The wind grew stronger and stronger”可知此處指遭遇暴風(fēng)雨襲擊，故選B．storm。
12．A情景判斷題。指風(fēng)速“達(dá)到”每小時(shí)50英里，故用up to。
13．A情景判斷題。句意為“如山的大浪向一邊推著輪船”。push“推，擠”；pull“扯，拉”；draw“拉，拖”；look“看”。故只能用push。
14．B情景判斷題。輪船在大浪中掙扎，一浪接一浪，因此此處指輪船受到“攻擊”，故用B．a(chǎn)ttacked。A．protected“保護(hù)”；C．destroyed“毀壞”；D．a(chǎn)pplied“申請，應(yīng)用”。
15．D詞匯運(yùn)用題。作為船員，都有拯救輪船的想法，故用attempt表示“試圖，努力”。A．request“要求”；B．decision“決定”；C．sense“意義”。
16．C行文邏輯題。根據(jù)“there was a breakdown in the engine room”判斷此處要用stopped表示“停止”。
17．A行文邏輯題。根據(jù)故事發(fā)展的結(jié)果可知，此處表示“我們什么也不能做”，故用nothing
18．A行文邏輯題。由下文可知“船上的人上了救生船”，因此推斷此處指船長下達(dá)了棄船命令。 
19．B行文邏輯題。由“At dawn the Captain gave the order to leave the ship”可知“船已經(jīng)到了不能挽救的地步”，所以推斷它“沉人”大海中。 
20．C情景判斷題。輪船已經(jīng)下沉，因此只能看見在波浪中的一些救生船，故選C項(xiàng)。

He's an old cobbler  (修鞋匠)  with a shop in the Marais, a historic area in Paris. When I took him my shoes, he at first told me: “I haven't time. Take them to the other fellow on the main  street ; he'll fix them for you right away.”
But I'd had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman  (手藝人).  “No,” I replied, “the other fellow can't do it well.”
“The other fellow” was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys “while-U-wait”— without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, andwhen they have finished sewing back a sandal strap (鞋帶) you might as well just throw away thepair.
My man saw I wouldn't give in, and he smiled. He wiped his hands on his blue apron ( 圍裙), looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said,“Come back in a week.”
I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf.
“See what I can do?” he said with pride. “Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work.. ”
When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange,dusty felt hot, his funny accent from who-knows-where and, above all, his pride in his craft.
These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way as long as it “pays”, when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption  (消費(fèi)) rather than a way to realize their own abilities. In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.
60. Which of the following is true about the old cobbler.'?
A. He was equipped with the best repairing tools. B. He was the only cobbler in the Marais.
C. He was proud of his skills.                             D. He was a native Parisian.
61. The sentence “He was something out of an ancient legend.” ( paragraph 7 ) implies that      
A. nowadays you can hardly find anyone like him
B. it was difficult to communicate with this man
C. the man was very strange                               D. the man was too old
62. According to the author, many people work just to           .
A. realize their abilities   B. gain happiness          C. make money             D. gain respect
63. This story wants to tell us that           .
A. craftsmen make a lot of money                       B. whatever you do, do it well
C. craftsmen need self-respect                             D. people are born equal

At the end of my senior year of high school, I got a job working at a local coffee shop．I thought the job would be easy and stress-free．I pictured myself pouring the best coffees, making delicious doughnuts (炸面包圈), and becoming friends with regular customers．
I wasn’t expecting the people with enormous orders, the women who complained that the coffee was much too creamy (含乳脂的), or the men who wanted their iced coffees remade again and again until they reached perfection．I couldn’t seem to please anyone．
One rainy day, one of my regular customers came in looking upset．He said he felt like getting in bed, pulling the sheets up over his head, and staying there for a few years．I knew exactly how he felt．
Before he left, I handed him a bag along with his iced coffee．He was surprised, since he hadn’t ordered anything but coffee．I had given him his favorite type of droughnut．
“It’s on me,” I told him．“Have a nice day．”
He smiled and thanked me before heading back out into the rain．
The next day, it was still raining．I spent my afternoon hanging out the window handing people their orders．I was completely wet and freezing cold．Worse, no one was tipping that day．Every time I looked into our empty tip jar, I grew more depressed．
In the evening, the customer from the day before drove up to the window．He handed me a pink rose and a note．He said that not many people took time to care about others and he was glad there were still people like me in the world．With a friendly wave, he drove away．
I ran to the back of the shop and read the note．It read:
Christine,
Thanks for being so sweet, kind and thoughtful yesterday．It is so nice to meet someone who’s indeed nice．Please don’t change your ways! Have a great day! –Hank
