答案解析：

文章大意：尼克英雄救人记。

小题1:B　去年11月，尼克听说了在一个聚会上发生了骚乱。一群人“聚集”在外面，指着海湾中好像有什么东西在漂浮。gather“聚集”符合语境。

小题2:A　当他跑过去“调查”时，他发现是一场误会：两个孩子坐着的船随着“浪”漂向了海里。investigate“调查”；find“找到，发现”；ask“问”；join“参加”。

小题3:C　见上题解析，wave“波浪”。

小题4:D　提姆和杰克爬上了一艘停泊在附近的船，划了过去“找回”一个足球。recover“找回”；kick“踢”；borrow“借”；buy“买”

小题5:B　到达了平静的水面，安在船上的“伞”遇到了风，使船驶入了开阔的水面。umbrella“伞”符合语境。此处与51空后的umbrella照应。

小题6:A　他们试着向回划，但是他们“抵不过”风力，在原地打转。no match for“抵不过，不是．.....的对手，比不过”。

小题7:B　尼克冲到了陆地最远的地方，海中的船此时已经变成了一个黑“点”。dot“点”符合语境。

小题8:B　他知道这样“纤弱的”小船很快就会遇上海里的2级巨浪。delicate“纤弱的，易损的”符合语境。

小题9:A　尼克跳入“刺骨的”海水里，每隔90码伸出头来看看自己的“位置”。bitterly cold“刺骨地寒冷”符合语境。

小题10:A　见上题解析。progress“进步，前进”符合语境。

小题11:D　最后他终于松开了绳子放下了伞。free“释放，使自由”符合语境。

小题12:A　随后尼克赶到了，但随后海浪打坏了船，船开始下沉。尼克“意识到”要尽快将他们托回岸边。decide“断定，决定”符合语境。

小题13:A　他们“笨拙地”穿上救生衣，尼克一手拉着他们，“拼命地”划。awkwardly“笨拙地”符合语境。

小题14:D　见上题解析。desperately“绝望地，拼命地”符合语境。

小题15:B　“我们安全了吗？”他们不停地问。“是的”尼克不停地“安抚”他们。comfort“安慰，安抚”符合语境。

小题16:C　从冷得发抖的水中出来后，当然要靠近“温暖”。warmth“温暖，暖和”符合语境。

小题17:A　尼克筋疲力尽几乎昏厥过去。

小题18:D　当被问到是什么趋使他做出这种“英勇的”举动时，他回答道：遇到这种事，从安全舒适的地方站出来(不作旁观者)是很“难”的举动。

小题19:B　见上题解析。tough“艰难的”符合语境。

小题20:C　作为旁观者是小心翼翼的，但是我们不应该陷入其中(成为一名旁观者)。而应该站出来、站起来。此处one指代前面的a cautious existence。
