   The Johnson family from England believe they are lucky to be alive af?ter surviving an incredible incident off the coast of Australia. The John?sons had been  1  that they might see some whales when they were  2   a yacht―a large expensive boat for a 10-day sailing    3     around the Whit?sunday Islands.    4    ， they had no clue just how     5     their viewing would be. Two hours into their journey a nine-metre-long humpback whale    6     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(重擊聲）.He  7  thought the yacht had hit a rock. However, when he looked up,he saw the whale  8  down the deck of the boat. He told the reporters,"We were staring into its right eye. It was a very   9   moment. The eye was about the  10   of a dinner plate. It was huge."

 11  for the Johnson family,no one was hurt,but the yacht suffered  12  damage. The whale had ruined the mast and rigging一-the pole and ropes which hold the  13   ―and so the family was left  14  at sea, 10 miles from the shore. The 15   equipment was also damaged, but fortunately they had a cellphone and were able to call for help.

   Why the whale jumped onto the yacht is a  16  , but the family thinks that maybe the boat had not  17  sailed between the whale and its baby calf. Perhaps the whale was trying to  18  its calf when it jumped,hitting the yacht by chance.

Whatever the reason, people are completely  19  that this incident hap?pened. There is over 135 million square miles of ocean, so what are the  20  of a whale jumping onto a 30-foot-long yacht? The chance of something like this happen?ing is minuscule,but it just shows that life is full of surprises.

完形填空

[文章大意]本文是一篇記敘文，主要講述了來自英格蘭的約翰遜一家人在海上乘坐快艇時遇到鯨魚的驚險經(jīng)歷。

1.  C "…that they might see some whales..."是被告訴的內(nèi)容。他們在租快艇的時候，那里的人告訴他們，他們可能會看到鯨魚。tell與they是被動的關(guān)系。

2.  A到海上游玩，根據(jù)常識應該是租快艇，再結(jié)合下文的"...a large expensive boat for a 10-day sailing "- around the Whit?sunday Islands."可知hire"租賃"符合語境。

3.  D從下文的"Two hours into their journey a nine-metre-long humpback whale…"可知是在海上旅行，trip意為"旅行"，符合語境。

4.  D 從下文的"."they had no clue just how ― their viewing would be."可知，上下文是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，D項符合語境。moreo?ver 意為" 并且" ，表 并列； nevertheless 盡管如此，不過；worth?while 意為" 值得 的"， 是形 容詞。

5.  B然而，他們不知道他們的觀察會有多近。close意為"靠近的"，符合語境。wide寬的；vivid生動的；tense緊張的。

6.  B 從下文的"…crashed into their boat..."可知，鯨魚先從大海里跳出。leap意為"跳過，飛躍"，符合語境。swim"游泳" 與下文的crashed不相符；slip滑；stretch伸展。

7.  C大兒子馬克•約翰遜正在駕駛快艇，一聽到猛烈的撞擊聲很快就認為快艇撞上了巖石。immediately立刻，馬上； suddenly突然地；occasionally偶然地；accidentally偶然地，意外地。

8.  D 從前面的"…when he looked up..."可知，他看到鯨魚從快艇的甲板滑下。slide down"滑下"，符合語境。shoot射 ；jump跳躍；fall跌倒。

9.  C 從上一句的"…'We were staring into its right eye.，"可知是可怕的時刻。frightening"令人恐懼的"，符合語境。ex?citing 令人興奮的；surprising令人驚奇的；astonishing令人吃驚的。

 10.  A根據(jù)后面的a dinner plate可知，此處形容鯨魚的眼睛像盤子那么大。size意為"大小，尺寸"，符合語境。

  11.  B 從下文的"…no one was hurt."可知，此處指"幸運地"。

12.  A 從下文的damage和"The whale had ruined the mast and riggmg..."可知，船被破壞得很嚴重。severe"嚴重的"， 符合語境。

13.  C "...the pole and ropes which hold the..."這是對前文的解釋，梔桿和繩索都被弄壞，桅桿和繩索是支撐帆的。sail 在這里是名詞，是"帆"的意思。

14.  D由于船被破壞得很嚴重，因此這一家人就無助地留在海上。with no way"沒有任何辦法"，符合語境。by ail means ——定，務必；in no time立亥(]；from then on從那時起。from then on指時間，但此處主要強調(diào)他們發(fā)生了這樣的情況是無助的，故選D。

15.  A 從下文的"…but fortunately they had a cellphone and were able to call for help."可知，此處指的是與外界聯(lián)系的無線電。radio"無線電"，符合語境。

16.  B 從下文"…but the family thinks that maybe the boat had not — sailed between the whale —，，中的maybe和下文的per-haps可知，大家只是在猜測，都不知道為什么鯨魚會跳上快艇。mystery"謎"，符合語境。

17.  C大家猜測可能是快艇無意間行駛在了鯨魚與小鯨魚之間。根據(jù)語境可知用deliberately"故意地"。

   18.  D或許鯨魚只是想接近小鯨魚。

19.  A不論是什么原因，人們對這件事情的發(fā)生仍感到很吃驚。amazed吃驚的。 ，

20.  B 從下文的"The chance of something like this happening is minuscule…"可知,此處指"可能性"。marvel奇跡；pre?diction 預測；result結(jié)果。
