课本84页 3 Lesson 3 Choose the correct options. The men had been at sea for so long that it was hard to remember what land (陆地,地面)looked like.
Excitement had been building among them as Captain McCormick had said that they were a little more than 30 1 clubs / leagues from the island of St Martins where 2 evidence / evidently sunshine, dry land and fresh food awaited(等待, 期待) them.
At least that's what Officer David said he had over heard when the Captain spoke to Commander(指挥官,长官;海军中校) Barnaby.
This news came at the right time. In the past few weeks, an increasing sense of 3 depressed/ desperation had been growing among the men. It began the night of the storm.
Crashing ( crash 猛撞, 发出巨响), 4 violent/ variant waves had nearly destroyed the ship. They thought they would 5 sink/capture but thankfully, the 6 solid / sawed wooden frame(框架, 支架) and sails ( sail 帆, 篷帆布) had held together.
Unfortunately, they had lost some food which meant they could no longer have three meals a day. 7 Never again/Nevertheless, they had survived and that is what mattered.
The first light of the sun lit up the sky as 8 daybreak / dawnbreak was approaching. The dying (消亡的,没落的)moonlight left a shiny(光滑发亮的, 有光泽的), 9 polish / polished(擦亮的) look on the calm sea. It was hard to believe the same sea, which nearly claimed (claim 使丧生,致命) their lives.
