【解析】1838年9月7日的凌晨，英格蘭東海岸上發(fā)生了歷史上最強(qiáng)的一次風(fēng)暴，一艘大船撞擊到了石頭上，船上的人都有生命的危險。燈塔看守人的女兒Grace 是一個勇敢的女孩，她和父親一起駕駛救生船，拯救了大船上幸存者們的生命。

【1】句意：燈塔看守人向外看著一艘船。looked out 向外看；looked up 向上看；looked around 向四周看；looked down向下看。lighthouse keeper是燈塔看守人，在風(fēng)暴發(fā)生的時候，他應(yīng)該是在燈塔里面，所以這里應(yīng)該是向外看，故選A。

【2】句意：他的女兒，Grace從樓上的窗戶向外看，發(fā)現(xiàn)這艘大船重重地撞到了石頭上，碎成兩半。ran 跑；knocked 敲打；crashed 撞擊，撞碎；rushed沖。根據(jù)文意one of the worst storms in history was roaring可知，海上起了大風(fēng)暴，所以船是撞到了石頭上，故應(yīng)選C。

【3】句意：當(dāng)她看到船上恐懼的人們的時候，Grace問：“我們可以去救他們嗎？” worried 擔(dān)心的；scared 害怕的；excited 興奮的；mixed混合的。根據(jù)文意可知，海上發(fā)生了風(fēng)暴，并且found the great ship had ______2______ against the rocks and broken into halves.船成了兩半，船上的人們會非常的害怕，故應(yīng)選B。

【4】句意：Grace有巨大的勇氣，她不知道怎樣放棄。pride 驕傲，自豪；attention 注意； confidence 自信；courage勇氣。上文Grace的父親告訴她“No one can take a lifeboat out in that water,” her father answered. “The waves（浪）are too large.”海上風(fēng)浪很大，不能駕駛救生船出去，所以這需要的是勇氣。故應(yīng)選D。

【5】句意：她快速跑到了救生船上，她的父親跟在后面。stayed 呆，停留；pushed 推；followed 跟隨；returned回來。根據(jù)下文Her father could not let her go alone. He climbed in too.可知，Grace的父親和她一起上了救生船，所以她的父親是跟在后面，應(yīng)選C。

【6】句意：他乞求他的女兒不要上船，但是她不聽。but 但是，表示轉(zhuǎn)折；and 和，而且；so 因此，所以；then然后。根據(jù)句意可知，這兩句話是轉(zhuǎn)折的關(guān)系，故應(yīng)選A。

【7】句意：每個浪頭都好像隨時準(zhǔn)備把他們?nèi)拥胶＠铩?/span>mad 瘋狂的；close 近的；awful 可怕的；ready準(zhǔn)備好的。be ready to do sth.準(zhǔn)備好去做某事，這里是形容海上風(fēng)浪很大，隨時都會把船打翻。因此D選項(xiàng)符合情景。

【8】句意：風(fēng)暴把船切割成兩半。divided 分成，劃分，常和into搭配使用；cut 切割；lifted 舉；attacked攻擊。這里cut…in two表示把…截成兩半，符合文意，故選B。
