46、 cheated his sailors at the end of every voyage and took their wages. ”曾经有一个船长非常爱钱，因此在每次航行 结束后他都骗自己的船员并拿走他们的工资。可知船长通过欺骗船员拿走他们的工资，故选 C。 2 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“ A fires fire you said,” answered the sailor. “If it is enough to warm me in the water, it is enough to cook your chicken.”可知，火就是火，如果火能使我在水中温 暖，那么它也
47、足够能烹饪鸡。由此判断出水手比船长更聪明。故选 D。 3 细节理解题。根据第六段“A fires fire, answered the captain. I have won. ”船长强词夺理离船员 半英里处的火在给他取暖，说明船长想要赢得赌注。故选 A。 4 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句话“When it was nearly morning, some fishermen lit a fire on the shore about half a mile away by chance.可知，天快亮了，一些渔民偶然在半英里外的岸边生起了火。 故 B 选项“为了帮助水中的水手，渔民们生了火”
48、错误。故选 B 项。 5 主旨大意题。这篇短文讲述一位船长经常欺骗船员的工资，船长对水手们说：“如果你们中有人在 水里呆一整夜，我就把我的船给他。”有一个船员和船长打赌，并跳进了水里，但是船长认为，是 半英里外渔民生的火，使船员获得了温暖，船长认为水手作弊。但水手又反过来与船长打赌，打赌 船长做不熟鸡肉。船长问火在哪里，水手回答道到离这儿有半英里远。船员用船长用过的方法整蛊 了船长。所以短文的最佳标题为“火就是火”。故选 D 项。 6C 7B 8D 9A 【分析】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一种即将上市的高科技袜子，它可以帮助人们跳舞、走路、跑步 等各种体育活动。 6词义猜测题。根据划线部
