Question

【題目】

The next day, we entered the Strait of Jubail, which leads to the Gulf of Suez. A few hours, the captain told me that the Nautilus was about to enter the tunnel that led to the Mediterranean. It was difficult to enter the tunnel, so he steered the ship himself and invited me to watch. It was the first time I had been in the pilot’s dome. Captain Nemo turned on a powerful electric light, and we went slowly along a rock wall for about an hour. Then, I saw the opening of the tunnel, and the Nautilus entered it. The water flowed through the tunnel very quickly and carried the Nautilus along with it, and in only twenty minutes we were in the Mediterranean.

A day or two later, it came closer to the surface again. We were close to Crete. I was looking at the fish through the window with Captain Nemo when suddenly I saw a man swimming under the water. He swam to the window, and Captain Nemo made a sign to him. He swam away, and I did not see him again.

“That was Nicholas,” said the captain. “He lives on an island but he spends more time in water than on land.”

“Do you know him?” I asked.

“Why not, Dr. Aronnax?” He opened a cupboard and I saw that it was full of gold bars. He filled a large box with them, closed it, and wrote an address on it. Four men carried the box out of the room. I went back to my room. What was Captain Nemo doing?

Soon, I realized that the Nautilus was back on the surface, and I heard the dinghy leave. Two hours later, it returned, I wondered where they had taken the gold. I told Ned and Conseil about it. “Where does he get the gold, and where docs it go?” we wondered.

Toward the end of the next day, it became very hot in the Nautilus. Captain Nemo explained that we were in a stream of boiling water. We were above an underwater volcano that was erupting. It was too hot to stay there long.

【5】C

【解析】

這篇短文主要介紹了作者跟隨海螺螺號進(jìn)入通往蘇伊士灣的朱拜爾海峽，通過隧道進(jìn)入地中海向歐洲航行的見聞。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The next day, we entered the Strait of Jubail, which leads to the Gulf of Suez. A few hours, the captain told me that the Nautilus was about to enter the tunnel that led to the Mediterranean.結(jié)合地圖，可知出非洲進(jìn)入地中海，然后就到了歐洲，所以Nautilus要從非洲到歐洲，故選D。

【2】主旨?xì)w納題。根據(jù)短文第一段主要介紹了海螺號如何通過隧道進(jìn)入地中海，故選A。

【3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)后文船長說：That was Nicholas“那是尼古拉斯”，可知尼莫船長向那個做手勢的人是尼古拉斯，故選B。

【4】推理判斷題。A.帆船B.劃艇C.漁船D.救生艇。根據(jù)I heard the dinghy leave. Two hours later, it returned, I wondered where they had taken the gold.“我聽到小船離開了。兩個小時后，它又回來了，我想知道他們把金子帶到哪里去了”長時間在大海里航行的船只肯定要有救生設(shè)備，故D答案符合題意。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文最后一段“Toward the end of the next day, it became very hot in the Nautilus. Captain Nemo explained that we were in a stream of boiling water. We were above an underwater volcano that was erupting. It was too hot to stay there long.” 第二天快結(jié)束時，鸚鵡螺變得非常熱。尼莫船長解釋說，我們在一股沸水中。我們在一座正在噴發(fā)的水下火山上方。天氣太熱，不能在那兒呆太久。由此推斷海螺號將再次浮出水面。故答案選C。
