as water washed over the boys faces.”可知，christian和jack穿着救生衣脸朝上漂浮在水上，tim带着他们朝岸边游去。故选a。即他们是由tim拖拽到码头的。阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (a、b、c和d) 中, 选出最佳选项。bedford castle: the home of bedfordshire royalty

an ardent(热心的)royalist(保皇主义者). bedford castle repeatedly offered the kings of england refuge against various storms in the form of onslaughts(攻击)from abroad and various domestic threats against them,

extremely knowledgeable. they will happily tell you tales of the mound(土丘)and the castle that preceded it. the mound is open to the public all year round and is a proud part of the areas heritage. it
