问题    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.
Why did Mr. Wilmot agree to take his children out into the bay?
选项 A、The weather was nice and the sea was calm.
B、He wanted to humor his children.
C、He was in a very good mood that day.
D、The bay looked exceptionally beautiful that day.
答案A
解析 推理判断题  文章第二段第四和第五句话说“The sun shone brightly. There was little wind and the water was calm”，紧接着地第六句就说“所以威尔特先生租了一只小船，带着两个孩子出发去海湾了”一据此判断，“天气晴好，海面平静”是他带孩子出游的原因。故[A]为正确答案。
