本文是一篇记叙文，体现了“人与自我”的主题语境。本文主要讲述了罗宾跟着船队去南极探险，船却不幸撞上了冰川沉没了，罗宾在一个小岛上凭着坚强的意志活了下来。被救后，罗宾的故事为大众所知，他成为了“现代英雄”的候选人。
1. D 选项：reform改革；comedy喜剧；conservation保护；crew船员。根据空前的“he set off to the Antarctica with 30”及下文的“the ship began to sail”可知，他跟着30名“船员(crew members)”出发去南极洲。
2. A 选项：waved挥手；dominated支配，控制；abused辱骂；submitted提交，呈递。根据“he set off to the Antarctica with 30 1 members. Before he went aboard…”和常识可知，在上船之前，他向在海军工作的父母 “挥手(waved)”告别。
3. B 选项：refreshing使凉爽；barking吠叫；criticising批评；tolerating容忍。根据空后的“pet dog”可知，他也跟一直在“吠叫(barking)”的宠物狗挥手告别。

5. A 选项：excited激动的；disturbed心烦意乱的；amused好笑的；stressed焦虑不安的。根据文章首句“Robin was enthusiastic about explorations.”和空后的“when the ship began to sail”可知，当船开始航行时，罗宾是多么的“兴奋(excited)”啊！excited与enthusiastic为同义复现。
6. C 选项：Precisely精确地；Frequently经常；Unfortunately不幸的是；Annually每年。根据空后的“it hit an iceberg and sank after sailing for about 28 days”可知，“不幸的是(Unfortunately)”，在航行约28天后，它撞上了冰山后沉没了。
7. B 选项：restored恢复；damaged毁坏；seized控制；examined检查。根据下文的“most people lost their lives”可知，由于系在船上的很多救生艇被“毁坏(damaged)”，大多数人都丧生了。
8. B 选项：fine对……处以罚款；abandon放弃；restrict限制，束缚；stimulate激发，激励。根据“Robin didn’t 8 himself to despair but remembered the survival guidance”可知，面对艰难的处境，罗宾没有“放弃(abandon)”自己，没有绝望。
9. C 选项：basin盆；blanket毯子；rugby橄榄球；wage工资。根据下文的“when bored, he was committed to playing rugby as a recreation”可知，罗宾带着“橄榄球”游到了一个小岛上，rugby为原词复现。
10. D 选项：meanest最卑鄙的；dampest最潮湿的；noblest最
高贵的；cruelest最残忍的。根据空后的“and bitterest episode he
had ever encountered”可知，独自生活在小岛上是他所遇到过的
“最残酷(cruelest)”、最痛苦的一段经历。
11. C 选项：agenda议程(表)；psychology心理学；resolution决

had been struggling
1. Unfortunately 考查词性转换。修饰整个句子，用副词作状语。
2. was discovered 考查时态和语态。因主语I与动词discover之间是被动关系；再结合文章时态可知，应用一般过去时，故填was discovered。
3. the 考查冠词。特指给所有船员做饭的工作。
4. thinking 考查非谓语动词。因can’t help doing sth是固定搭配，意为“不禁做某事”。
5. easy 考查词性转换。作表语应用形容词，故填easy。
6. stuck 考查非谓语动词。become是系动词，表示“被卡在冰里”，用过去分词表被动。
7. blankets 考查名词单复数。表示泛指的“毯子”，用复数形式。
8. had been struggling 考查动词的时态。由时间状语for days可知，他们一直奋斗了好几天，且动作发生在过去，故用过去完成进行时。
9. which 考查连词。引导非限制性定语从句，在从句中作主语，指代前面整个句子，用which。
10. with 考查介词。因fill sb with sth是固定搭配，意为“使充满 (感情)”。
