The night was dark, though sometimes the moving clouds allowed a star or two to be seen in the sky. The poor men held on to any bit of 1 they could find. They called to the Marie for 2 but she was far 3 the reach of the human voice. At one o’clock in the morning suddenly some 4 were seen in the distance: another ship! The shouts of the 5 were heard on board, and willing hands pulled them out of the water. The 6 of the ship that had arrived at the scene 7 to save their lives was the Ellen. What had 8 her to the exact spot 9 the darkness and the pathless sea? Her captain had known 10 of the wreck(沉船) and had, indeed, 11 to sail away from it. But let him speak for himself.

“ 12 I was forced by the wind to change my course, a small bird flew across the ship once or twice and then flew at my face. I 13 of this until exactly the same thing happened a second time, 14 caused me to think it rather 15 .While I was this 16 ,the same bird, for the third time, make its appearance and flew 17 in the same way as before. I was then 18 to change my course back to the original one. I had not gone far 19 I heard a strange voice; and when I tried to 20 where they came from, I found I was in the middle of people who had been shipwrecked. I immediately did by best to save them.”

13【解析】C pay attention后搭配的介词应该是to。

14【解析】A which引导非限制性定语从句。

“I hope you don' t mind the open window. My husband and brothers will be home soon from shooting, and they always come in this way." She talked on?? 15 ? ?about the shooting and the hopes of shooting in the winter. To Framton it was all quite? 16 ??in the increasing darkness. He made a great 17 ?, which was only partly successful, to turn the talk on to a cheerful subject.

5.【解析】A从上下文判断，既然谁也不认识，那么当然就对这个家庭的主人一无所知了。
