Mr. Wilmot was born in a little village near the coast and had gone to school in the nearest seaside town, but he was not a lover of the sea. Even when walking along the sands, he was afraid of being cut off by the tide. Mr. Wilmot was not a very good swimmer, so perhaps this was why he disliked the sea.
After working for some years in London, Mr. Wilmot was transferred (调动) to a town near the coast and, of course, the family often made trips to the beach. One day his children asked him to take them out into the bay in a boat. The sun shone brightly. There was little wind and the water was calm. So Mr. Wilmot hired a boat and with his two children rowed out into the bay. At first all went well, but when they decided to turn back they found themselves faced with difficulties. A strong wind had sprung up (突然起来) and the currents (海浪) were rather dangerous.
Mr. Wilmot rowed hard, but it seemed they were making little progress. The children were waving to attract the attention of the people on the beach. Just then a motor-boat appeared from the direction of the bay. Their trouble had been noticed and the motor-boat had come to their rescue. A rope was soon attached (系上,栓上) and their boat was pulled back to the shore.
Mr. Wilmot’s dislike of the sea became even stronger after this experience.
What seemed to be the reason for Mr. Wilmot’s dislike of the sea?
选项
A、He was tired of the sea, having lived near it for years.
B、He had had some terrifying experiences on the sea.
C、He knew the sea too well to like it.
D、He couldn’t swim well.
答案
D
解析
事实细节题。根据第一段最后一句活“Mr. Wilmot was not a very good swimmer, so perhaps this was why he disliked the sea”,不难判断[D]为正确答案。
