答案与解析
语篇解读： 一艘客轮在海上遇到暴风雨而颠覆，只有两个人游到一个荒凉的小岛上。在无计可施的情况下，这两个人都认为只有向上帝祷告是唯一之道。其中一个人的祈祷都一一实现，而另外一个人什么也没有获得。原来第二个人只有一个愿望，那就是让第一个人的祈祷都能应验。这个故事告诉我们：我们所得到的恩典并非只是我们自己祈求的结果，还因为有别人为我们祈福。为别人而做的，往往比为自己而做的更重要。
1. B 根据上文船只失事，其他人都死亡得知，这两个人应该是幸存者（survivors）。
2. C 此空是考查固定搭配have no choice but to do sth.，表示“除了做……外别无选择”。
3. D 根据上下两句话之间的关系，可知此处表转折，因此用however。
4. A 从上文推理出意思“为了看谁的祈祷更强大有力”。powerful，“强大的”；cheerful “快乐的”；skillful， “技术熟练的”；harmful “有害的”。
5. C
6. B 根据前面一句the first man saw a fruit?鄄bearing tree，可知树上长满了果实，因此选择fruit。
7. D 依据此句中的转折副词but，可以得知第二个人所处的地方贫瘠不结果实。
8. A 通过下文得知他想要找一个老婆，我们根据四个形容词意思只有选择lonely。
9. B 根据四个代词的意思可知第二个男子什么也没有得到。
10. D 此处的more是解题关键，只有出现过的东西才能用more来修饰。
11. A 根据句子意思可以得知只有give和provide意思符合，但provide不和to连用。
12. C 第一个男子祈求得到船，目的就是要离开这个岛，因此选择C。
13. A 因为后面不是句子，因此只能填considering。judging需要和from搭配。
14. C A和B两个选项只能指人，none既可以指人也可以指物，且必须有范围。
15. D 根据宾语voice可知，只能是听到声音，listen不能直接加宾语。
16. B 根据句子意思我们得知此人是他的同伴。
17. C 根据前后两句话的意思：他所有的祈祷都没有应验，因此他不应该得到任何东西。deserve意思是“应得”。
18. D which 引导非限制性定语从句。
19. B 此题考查细节理解，根据上文提示可知此处填answered，表示“回答，答复”。
20. A 此句意思是：要不是这样，你将得不到我任何的保佑。
【评析】 此篇文章情节简单清晰，文章词汇和句式结构均不复杂，设题通过上下文推断和常识推断可以得出，而词汇句式多为高频词汇。文章短而设空密，考查学生语篇理解和重新构建完整语篇的能力。
