　　From the seventeenth-century empire of Sweden, the story of a galleon that sank at the start of her maiden voyage in 1628 must be one of the strangest tales of the sea. For nearly three and a half centuries she lay at the bottom of Stockholm harbour until her discovery in 1956. 1）

　　2） Triple gun-decks mounted sixty-four bronze cannon. She was intended to play a leading role in the growing might of Sweden.

　　As she was prepared for her maiden voyage on August 10,1628, Stockholm was in a ferment. From the Skeppsbron and surrounding islands the people watched this thing of beauty begin to spread her sails and catch the wind. They had laboured for three years to produce this floating work of art; she was more richly carved and ornamented than any previous ship. The high stern castle was a riot of carved gods, demons, knights, kings, warriors, mermaids, cherubs; and zoomorphic animal shapes ablaze with red and gold and blue, symbols of courage, power, and cruelty, were portrayed to stir the imaginations of the superstitious sailors of the day.

　　3）4）

　　As the wind freshened there came a sudden squall and the ship made a strange movement, listing to port. The Ordnance Officer ordered all the port cannon to be heaved to starboard to counteract the list, but the steepening angle of the decks increased. Then the sound of rumbling thunder reached the watchers on the shore, as cargo,ballast, ammunition and 400 people went sliding and crashing down to the port side of the steeply listing ship. 5）In that first glorious hour, the mighty Vasa, which was intended to rule the Baltic, sank with all flags flying - in the harbour of her birth.

　　［A］All gun-ports were open and the muzzles peeped wickedly from them.

　�。跙］Vasa sailed majesticly out of the bay.

　　［C］This was the Vasa, royal flagship of the great imperial fleet.

　�。跠］King Gustavus Adolphus, 'The Northern Hurricane', then at the height of his military success in the Thirty Years' War, had dictated her measurements and armament.

　　［E］The lower gun ports were now below water and the inrush sealed the ship's fate.

　�。跢］ As soon as her discovery, the world became shocken.

　�。跥］Then the cannons of the anchored warships thundered a salute to which the Vasa fired in reply. As she emerged from her drifting cloud of gun smoke with the water churned to foam beneath her bow, her flags flying, pennants waving, sails filling in the breeze, and the red and gold of her superstructure ablaze with colour, she presented a more majestic spectacle than Stockholmers had ever seen before.

　　答案及詳解

　　1.C.文章開篇介紹一艘瑞典皇家大船1628年在處女航中沉船，直到1956年才被人們發(fā)現(xiàn)。選C整個第一段才把事件交待清楚。干擾項是F因為下段也沒有再提船的名字，所以第一段要交待出主要“人物”。

　　2.D.第二段交待事情的緣由，1498~1632年之間，瑞典新教勢力與波蘭天主都勢力之間的戰(zhàn)爭及王室之間聯(lián)姻帶來的積怨使戰(zhàn)爭時斷時續(xù)。古斯塔夫斯（Gustavus） 二世接替王位后（1594~1632），瑞典雄踞上風，準備再一次出海遠征，Vasa （瓦薩）戰(zhàn)艦就是為出征建造的。

　　3.G.前兩段介紹背景，第三段后由背景轉入1628年8月10日戰(zhàn)船考研教育網前的雄姿。第四、五兩段很緊湊地敘述了考研教育網那一刻的熱鬧場面及它突然傾敘下沉的悲劇。

　　4.A.muzzles peeped wickedly 中，用 wickedly 這個詞預示著這次航行的厄運。與上一句中 in a majestic spectacle 及 the red and gold of her superstructure 形成一種強烈的反差，干擾項為選項B.

　　5.E.最后一段寫了沉船時的情形，描寫船身向左傾斜，無論用什么方法也沒有人能止住這種傾斜，船最終下沉沒頂，從此躺在波羅的海海底300余年之久。

　　中心思想

　　本文描寫了“瓦薩”號出航前的雄風英姿及剎那間船體傾斜，貨物、裝備及船上400人頃刻葬身海底的.海難悲劇。Vasa （瓦薩）是瑞典17世紀，更確切地說，是1628年一艘皇家大帆船的名字。這艘耗時三年建成的帆船工藝精細、裝飾雄偉華麗，是一艘規(guī)模空前的戰(zhàn)艦，它象征著17世紀上半葉以瑞典為代表的北歐新教勢力與中歐波蘭天主教勢力之間的多年戰(zhàn)亂結束時，瑞典的軍事力量已達到鼎盛時期。
