B．Thewater.C．Theboat. D．Thewind.解析：词义猜测题。文中第二段后三句意为：他们一把船划出静水区，绑在船上的沙滩伞就遇到了风，然后把船拖进了开阔的水域。这两个男孩慌了，尽力想划回海岸。但是他们不是大风的对手，船失去了控制。此处的it指的是thewind。本题易误选B和C，但water和boat都是在wind的作用下才产生力量，所以与两个男孩对抗的是thewind。答案：D3．WhydidTimraisehisheadregularly?A．Totakeinenoughfreshair.B．Toconsiderturningbackornot.C．Tocheckhisdistancefromtheboys.D．Toasktheboystotakedowntheumbrella.解析：细节理解题。由第四段Iwastryingtofigureouthowtoswimtotheboysinastraightline.“我在尽力弄清楚如何以最近的路线游到男孩们那里”可知，此处Tim抬头是为了确认他与孩子们之间的距离。A项“吸入足够的新鲜空气”文章未提及，B项“考虑是否要返回去”，由下文可知只是作者一时的想法，而不是每次抬头都会考虑，D项“要求男孩们把伞放下来”是他游到男孩附近才说的，故均排除。答案：C4．Howdidthetwoboysfinallyreachthepier?A．TheyweredraggedtothepierbyTim.B．Theyswamtothepierallbythemselves.C．Theywerewashedtothepierbythewaves.D．TheywerecarriedtothepierbyTimonhisback.解析：细节理解题。由倒数第三段中的．..Timdecided...topulltheboystowardthepier.可知男孩们是被Tim拖到码头边的。所以A项符合题意。答案：A做这类题考生首先要返回原文，找出此代词；其次，通过上下文语境，找出该代词指代的名词、名词性词组或句子；再其次，将找到的词、词组或句子代入，替换该代词，看意思是否通顺；最后，将找到的词、词组或句子与四个选项相比较，找出意思最接近的选项。例如真题示例第2题，此题考查代词指代题，文中第二段后三句意为：他们一把船划出静水区，绑在船上的沙滩伞就遇到了风，然后把船拖进了开阔的水域。这两个男孩慌了，尽力想划回海岸。但是他们不是大风的对手，船失去了控制。此处的it指的是thewind。(2013·厦门市高三质量检查)FDAproposedthemostsweepingfoodsafetyrulesindecades，requiringfarmersandfoodcompaniestobemorecautiousinthewakeofdeadlyoutbreaksinpeanuts，cantaloupes(甜瓜)，andleafygreens.Thelong­overdueregulationsareaimedatreducingtheestimated3,000deathsayearfromfoodborneillness.Justsincelastsummer，outbreaksofListeria(李氏杆菌)incheeseandSalmonella(沙门氏菌)inpeanutbutter，cantaloupesandmangoeshavebeenlinkedtomorethan400illnessesandasmanyassevendeaths，accordingtotheCentersforDiseaseControl.Theactualnumberofthosesickenedislikelymuchhigher.TheFDA’sproposedruleswouldrequirefarmerstotakenewprecautionsagainstcontamination(污染)，toincludemakingsureworkers’handsarewashed，thatirrigation(灌溉)waterisclean，andthatanimalsstayoutoffields.Foodmanufacturerswillhavetosubmitfoodsafetyplanstothegovernmenttoshowtheyarekeepingtheiroperationsclean.ManyresponsiblefoodcompaniesandfarmersarealreadyfollowingthestepsthattheFDAwouldnowrequirethemtotake.Butofficialssaytherequirementscouldhavesavedlivesandpreventedillnessesinsomeofthelarge­scaleoutbreaksthathavehitthecountryinrecentyears.Ina2011outbreakofListeriaincantaloupesthatclaimed33lives，forexample，FDAinspectorsfoundpoolsofdirtywateronthefloorandold,dirtyprocessingequipmentattheColoradofarmwherethecantaloupesweregrown.Inapeanutbutteroutbreakthisyearlinkedto42Salmonellaillnesses，inspectorsfoundsamplesofSalmonellathroughoutaNewMexicopeanutprocessingplantandmultipleobvioussafetyproblems，suchasbirdsflyingoveruncoveredtrucksofpeanutsandemployeesnotwashingtheirhands.Underthenewrules，companieswouldhavetolayoutplansforpreventingthosesortsofproblemsandhowtheywouldcorrectthem.“Therulesgoverydirectlytopreventingthetypesofoutbreakswehaveseen，”
