问题 (非英语类学生必做)
    Summers with father were always enjoyable. Swimming, hiking, boating, fishing the days were not long enough to contain all of our activities. There never seemed to be enough time to go to church, which disturbed some friends and relations. Accused of neglecting this part of our education, my father instituted a summer school for my brother and me. However, his summer course included ancient history, which Papa felt our schools neglected, and navigation, in which we first had a formal examination in the dining room, part of which consisted of tying several knots in a given time limit. Then we were each separately sent on what was grandly referred to as a cruise in my father’s 18 foot knockabout, spending the night on board, and loaded down, according to my mother, with enough food for a week. I remember that on my cruise I was required to formally plot our course, using the tide table, even though our goal was an island I could see quite clearly across the water in the distance.  
The purpose of the cruise mentioned in the passage was to______.

选项 A、have fun
B、test the author’s sailing ability
C、reward the author for completing summer school
D、get to the island

答案B

解析 开设暑期学校的本意是让孩子们多学点宗教,然而后来开了两门课,历史和航海。航海课中,孩子们先进行考试,然后分别被送上一艘船,要求在那里过夜,规划航线,到达一个小岛。其他三项均有被误选的可能。
