课时作业(三十五) Unit 5 Travelling abroad
(本栏目内容，在学生用书中以独立形式分册装订！)
第八讲“不明身份”的代词指代题
代词指代题要求考生依据一定的上下文推测代词指代的意义。

尤其在人物及事物关系比较复杂的情况下确定代词的指代内容时，更要理清人物及事物之间的逻辑关系。

(2013·四川卷) On a sunny day last August，Tim heard some shouting.Looking out to the sea carefully，he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.
Two 12­year­old boys，Christian and Jack，rowed out a boat to search for a football.Once they’d rowed beyond the calm waters，a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water.The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore.But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.
Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.
“Everything went quiet in my head，” Tim recalls (回忆)．“I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”
Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water.Every 500 yards or so，he
raised his head to judge his progress.“At one point，I considered turning back，” he says.“I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.”After 30 minutes of struggling，he was close enough to yell to the boys，“Take down the u mbrella！”
Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella.Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat.He took over rowing，but the waves were almost too strong for him.
“Let’s aim for the pier (码头)，”Jack said.Tim turned the boat toward it.S oon afterward，waves crashed over the boat，and it began to sink.“Can you guys swim？” he cried.“A little bit，” the boys said.
Once they were in the water，Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier.Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs.Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys’ faces.
“Are we almost there？” they asked again and again.“Yes，” Tim told them each time.
After 30 minutes，they reached the pier.
语篇解读本文是一篇记叙文。

全文记叙了Tim成功地从海中解救了两个12岁男孩的故事。

1．Why did the two boys go to the sea?
A．To go boat rowing. B．To get back their football.
C．To swim in the open water. D．To test the umbrella as a sail.
解析：细节理解题。

由第二段的Two 12­year­old boys...search for a football.可知B项正确。

答案： B
2．What does “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．The beach. B．The water.
C．The boat. D．The wind.
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the wind。

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the wind。

答案： D
3．Why did Tim raise his head regularly?
A．To take in enough fresh air.
B．To consider turning back or not.
C．To check his distance from the boys.
D．To ask the boys to take down the umbrella.
解析：细节理解题。

由第四段I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.“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： C
4．How did the two boys finally reach the pier?
A．They w ere dragged to the pier by Tim.
B．They swam to the pier all by themselves.
C．They were washed to the pier by the waves.
D．They were carried to the pier by Tim on his back.
解析：细节理解题。

由倒数第三段中的．..Tim decided...to pull the boys toward the pier.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the wind。
