Answer 1

【答案】

【1】another

【2】warned

【3】safely

【4】advised

【5】straight

【6】cause

【7】items

【解析】

泰坦尼克號是一個巨大的英國客輪，它在1912年第一次旅行撞到大西洋的冰山，發(fā)生沉船。沒有足夠的救生船給所有的乘客，超過1 500個乘客喪生。本文介紹了另一個可怕的沉船事件。

【1】句意：還有另一個可怕的沉船。

根據(jù)It was the sinking of the Lusitania（盧西塔尼亞號).之后介紹了除了泰坦尼克號的另一次沉船事件，another表示泛指的“另一個；在一個”。故填another。

【2】句意：在華盛頓的德國大使館警告游客海上航線的危險性。

此空缺少謂語動詞，warn表示“警告”，warn sb about sth表示“警告某人某事”。時態(tài)是一般過去時。warn的過去式是warned。故填warned。

【3】句意：盧西塔尼亞號安全的航行了前五天。

此空為副詞，修飾動詞sailed。根據(jù)On May 7, 1915出現(xiàn)了些問題，可知前五天是安全的。safely表示“安全地”。故填safely。

【4】句意：在1915年5月7日，盧西塔尼亞號因為敵人的艦艇，所以船被要求快速行駛，做曲線航行。

此空缺少謂語動詞，并且謂語動詞與the Lusitania的關(guān)系是被動關(guān)系。根據(jù)enemy’s submarine可知是被敵人的潛艇要求。advise表示“警告”，此處用被動語態(tài)。故填advised。

【5】句意：然而，由于大霧船長減速，直線行駛。

根據(jù)This made the ship an easy target, A German submarine fired at the Lusitania…可知盧西塔尼亞號并沒有按照敵人的要求做，而是減速、直線行駛。此空是形容詞作定語修飾名詞。straight表示“直線的”。故填straight。

【6】句意：第二次爆炸的原因仍然是個迷。

此空是名詞，并表示特指。根據(jù)Right after the first one, there was a second explosion. The ship sank in about 18 minutes.可知第二次爆炸至關(guān)重要。但是為什么有第二次爆炸原因不明。因此此空應為“原因”，特指第二次爆炸的原因。cause表示“原因”。故填cause。

【7】句意：但是為什么海上航線會攜帶這些物品？

根據(jù)Later, divers found large amounts of bullets, shells, gold, and cash in the ship cargo (貨物 ).可知船只攜帶了子彈，炮彈，金子和現(xiàn)金等。此處的these i___7___是代指上句提到的物品。items表示“所有物品”。故填items。
