Question

【題目】 Ned wanted to escape (逃跑) from the Nautilus while we were in the Mediterranean. However, he had no chance. The submarine (潛水艇) mostly stayed deep under the water.

Between Sicily and Gibraltar, I saw many shipwrecks. Some of them were very old. Others were more recent. I thought about all the bad memories that these shipwrecks had brought to people. So many men had died! As it surfaced, I wondered where it would go next on this strange journey.

Ned Land came to my room. “Tonight!” he said. “Tonight?” I was not ready for this. “Tonight,” he repeated, “we are a few miles off the Spanish coast. It will be dark, and the wind is blowing in the right direction. You agreed, Dr. Aronnax, to escape with me. Remember your promise!” I said nothing. “At nine o’clock,” continued Ned Land, “I will go to the staircase with Conseil. You will wait in the library for our signal.” “The sea is far from calm,” I said. “Yes, but if we don’t go tonight, we will soon be too far from land!” I knew he was right.

At seven o’clock, I was so nervous that I felt sick. Only two hours to go! As I looked around, I saw that Captain Nemo’s bedroom door was open. The room was empty. I saw pictures of famous liberators like Abraham Lincoln and John Brown on the walls. Was Captain Nemo a liberator, too?

It was eight o’clock. I dressed in my waterproof clothes and boots and went to the dark library. I waited for Ned’s signal. Just then, the engines stopped and came to rest on the ocean floor.

The library door opened, and Captain Nemo entered. He told me that we were in Vigo Bay. A Spanish commander had burned his own ships there in 1702 to prevent the British Navy from taking a great deal of gold they were carrying. He took me to the window. The people working on the Nautilus were bringing the gold to the submarine. Now, I knew how Captain Nemo had become so rich.

“But of what use is all this gold to you?” I asked.

“It is of no use to me!” he replied, “but it can help people who are oppressed ( 受 壓 迫 的 ).” He stopped. Perhaps he thought he had said too much. However, I now understood what those liberators meant to him.

Ned Land came to my room the next morning. “We were unlucky,” he said, “the Nautilus stopped just as we were about to escape. Perhaps we can try again tonight.” Early in the afternoon, the Nautilus surfaced. We went onto the board, but the land was already out of sight. Escape was impossible now.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】D

【解析】

短文大意：本文是故事類閱讀，介紹了尼摩船長帶領(lǐng)Aronnax博士等人的逃離故事。

【1】

題意：根據(jù)文章，“liberator”是為解放他人而工作的人�？疾樵~義理解。A. 作為國家領(lǐng)導人工作；B. 為解放他人工作；C. 尋找隱藏的寶藏；D. 在圖書館工作。根據(jù)照片人物Abraham Lincoln and John Brown（亞伯拉罕·林肯和約翰·布朗），結(jié)合尼摩船長說的話“but it can help people who are oppressed但它（金子）可以幫助那些受壓迫的人”，可知liberator從事的是解放受壓迫的人的工作，works to free others符合句意，故選B。

【2】

題意：下面哪個選項顯示了故事的正確順序？考查細節(jié)排序。①潛艇通過許多沉船。②Nautilus離開西班牙海岸。③尼摩船長知道黃金在維哥灣的秘密。④Ned告訴Aronnax博士逃跑的計劃。根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，先是Between Sicily and Gibraltar, I saw many shipwrecks（在西西里島和直布羅陀之間，我看到了許多失事的船只）①，然后Ned Land came to my room（尼德-蘭到我房里來）說了逃跑計劃④，不久在Vigo Bay（維哥灣）He took me to the window. The people working on the Nautilus were bringing the gold to the submarine（他把我?guī)У酱扒�。在諾第留斯號上工作的人正在把金子送到潛水艇里），可知他一直知道黃金在維哥灣的秘密（也就是說通過許多沉船之前就知道③），最后諾第留斯號離開了西班牙海岸②�？芍�③①④②順序正確，故選A。

題意：我們可以從文章中了解到什么？考查細節(jié)判斷。A. 尼摩船長幫助人們從一位西班牙指揮官那里得到了黃金；根據(jù)“A Spanish commander had burned his own ships there in 1702 to prevent the British Navy from taking a great deal of gold they were carrying”可知說法錯誤。B. 阿龍納斯先生一點也不愿意離開諾第留斯號潛水艇；根據(jù)“You agreed, Dr. Aronnax, to escape with me”可知說法錯誤。C. 在海洋上航行肯定是危險的，并且造成了大量的死亡；根據(jù)“The submarine mostly stayed deep under the water”可知說法錯誤。D. 尼德·蘭在那天晚上想逃走之前，已經(jīng)把一切都準備好了；根據(jù)文中Ned告訴阿奈克斯博士逃跑的計劃和在維哥灣轉(zhuǎn)移黃金等事可知說法正確。綜合以上分析，故選D。
