【1】waves

【2】attract

【3】serious

【4】Instead

【5】quick

【6】shore

【7】directly

【解析】

文章主要講述的是有關于遇難的兩個孩子的故事，他們兩個出海，船翻了，之后找到了自己的電話，然后給父親打了電話，告訴了他們所在的方位，父親叫來了警察，救了他們。

【1】考查名詞辨析，their boat capsized船翻了，由此可知是被海浪掀翻的，用復數(shù)，填寫waves。

【2】考查動詞辨析，the attention of passing ships過往船只的注意，由此可知是獲取過往船只的注意，attract the attention of獲得…的注意，情態(tài)動詞之后用動詞原形，填寫attract。

【3】考查形容詞辨析，After they had been in the water for about 40minutes在水里呆了近40分鐘，隨著時間的延長，應該是情況越來越糟糕，填寫serious。

【4】考查副詞辨析，But she didn't think of dialing 911，the emergency number沒有撥打緊急求助電話911，后文提到給自己的父親打電話，句意發(fā)生轉折，填寫Instead。

【5】考查形容詞辨析，call someone I knew and tell them our position給認識的人打電話，告訴他們自己的方位，由此可知是快速的求救，be之后用形容詞，填寫quick。

【6】考查名詞辨析， Ray and Susan were picked up and carried to一輛直升飛機接上了兩個人，帶到了…這是救援飛機，所以是接到了岸上，填寫shore。

【7】考查副詞辨析， calling 911撥打911，由此可知是遇到危險要直接撥打911，修飾動詞用副詞，填寫directly。
