2015安徽合肥市高考英语国庆作业及答案—阅读理解、单项选择(6)
阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
My father was Chief Engineer of a merchant ship,which was sunk in World War Ⅱ. The
bookNight of the U-boats told the story.
Memories
In September,1940,my mother,sister and I went to Swansea,where my father’s ship was
getting ready to sail. We brought him a family photograph to be kept with him at all
times and keep him safe.
Then I remember my mother lying face down,sobbing. She had heard from a friend that
the ship had been sunk by a torpedo (鱼雷).
I can remember the arrival of the telegram (电报),which in those days always brought
bad news. My grandmother opened it. It read,“Safe. Love Ted. “
My most vivid memory is being woken and brought down to sit on my father’s knee,his
arm in a bandage.
He was judged unfit to return to sea and took a shore job in Glasgow for the rest
of the war. For as long as I can remember,he had a weak heart. Mother said it was
caused by the torpedoes. He saidit was because of the cigarettes. Whichever,he died
suddenly in his early 50s.
Ten years later I readNight of the U-boats and was able to complete the story.
Torpedo
One torpedo struck the ship. Father was in the engine room,where the third engineer
was killed. He shut down the engines to slow the ship making it easier for it to be
abandoned.

By the time he got on deck (甲板)he was alone. Every lifeboat was gone except one
which had stuck fast. When he tried to cut it free,it swung against the ship,injuring
his hand and arm. He had no choice but to jump—still with the photograph in his pocket.
Three days later,he and other survivors were safe in Glasgow. All 23 with him signed
the back of the photograph.
A Toast
In my room is the book and the photograph. Often,glass in hand,I have wondered how
I would have dealt with an explosion,a sinking ship,a jump into a vast ocean and a
wait for rescue?Lest(以免)we forget,I have some more whisky and toast the heroes of
the war.
