問題詳情：
Shelly hugged her husband."Be careful, Billy."
"Come on, Shell!" Bill rolled his eyes. "You worry too much, Honey. Me and the boys will be OK. It's just a three — day trip. We'll catch enough halibut to be able to fix up the baby's room the way you want it." '
"Billy, I love you and worry every time you go to sea, especially in winter."
"Shell, I promise I'll be careful. I may be the youngest captain in this port, but I'm the most careful. I learned at the helm of Daddy's boat, which I was practically raised on."
They hugged again. Bill planted a tender kiss on her cheek, rested his open palm on her slightly swollen stomach, "Besides, I need to be here. Little Billy will need his daddy." Shelly slapped him on the shoulder. "It's Billy Jean and you know it.”
Bill laughed, "Not on my watch, Girl. I gave you a boy to take over as captain."
Their laughter broke the tension. "I have to go, Shell. See you in a few days?" He turned to leave and then turned back, reached into the pocket of his heavy coat and pulled out an envelope."I almost forgot. Here's my letter?"
Shelly took the crisp envelope and slipped into the pocket of her dress. "Thanks，Billy.” It had been their custom since they started dating. Billy gave her a note before he went to sea. She wasn't allowed to open it until the next day. He usually wrote of love or sometimes something silly - both made her smile. She wrote a reply and left it on the kitchen table for him. Reading her reply was the first thing he did when he came home.
She watched as her husband walked the'length of the pier to where the forty-five foot “Shelly Girl” and his crew waited. He gave a final wave and climbed aboard.
Shelly stood by their pickup truck and watched until the boat rounded the point and disappeared from view. "I love you, Billy.” she whispered. "Be safe." ①
That evening, five hundred miles to the south, a small winter depression moved north along the Atlantic coast of the USA．Experts found an unexpected change in the jet stream, which would make the small depression become a raging winter storm. ②
Shelly woke in the morning and listened to the weather report on the battered radio sitting on kitchen table. The phone rang."Hello."
“Shelly?"
"Hi, Gail!" She recognized the voice of her friend, who was the wife of one of Billy's crew. “Have you heard the weather?"
"Hang on a second. I just turned the radio on." Shelly's face paled as she heard the weather person say a major winter depression had moved into the area. "Oh crap!"
"That's what said too.”
"They'll be OK, Gail. They're experienced fishermen." Shelly said to Gail It was a attempt to convince herself that her man would be safe. ③
Off the south shore of Nova Scotia, Bill struggled to control the Shelly Girl in the growing waves. Wind and water attacked Bill and his crew from all directions. The forty- and fifty-foot walls of water were too much of a challenge for the young captain.
The force of the water flipped the boat over, tore the wheelhouse off and tossed Bill and his crew into the icy Atlantic.
The water, only a few degrees above the freezing point, soon overcame Bill's will to live. “Shelly!
He took a last painful breath of salt water and slipped below the surface. ④
The crisp envelope bent beneath her fingers as she laid it on her lap and read. "Shelly, you are my life,, my love and soon-to-be mother of our son一girl if that is what you really want. I'll always come home."
Shelly reached for the pen in her dress pocket. Tears dripped from her face and stained the paper she wrote on, “________."
Her note sits on their kitchen table still — never read.

【分析】
這是一篇記敍文。短文敍述了男主人工和女主人公之間的愛情故事。男主人公在出海之前都會留給女主人公一張紙條，直到第二天她才被允許打開它，而女主人公會寫會一封回信，把它放在廚房的桌子上。男主人公出海回家第一件事就是看她的回信。女主人公目送男主人出海，而這次出海，男主人公在也沒有回來，更沒有人去讀她的回信。
45．細節理解題。由第三段“Billy, I love you and worry every time you go to sea, especially in winter.”可知，比利，我愛你，你每次出海我都會擔心，尤其是在冬天。所以比利這次出海，雪莉為什麼很擔心，是因為她關心比利在海上的安全，尤其是在冬天。故選D項。
46．細節理解題。由第八段“Reading her reply was the first thing he did when he came home.”可知，他回家第一件事就是看她的回信。所以只有當比利出海歸來時，比利才能讀雪萊的回信。故選A項。
47．推理判斷題。由第十七段“ Shelly's face paled as she heard the weather person say a major winter depression had moved into the area.”可知，雪莉聽到氣象預報員説一場可怕的冬季低氣壓已經進入這個海域，她臉*變的蒼白。所以通過上文語境可以判斷出，她試圖使自己相信她的男人是安全的，但這是缺乏説服力的。所以空處填weak“缺乏説服力的”。故選A項。
48．推理判斷題。由第十七段“ Shelly's face paled as she heard the weather person say a major winter depression had moved into the area.”雪莉聽到氣象預報員説一場可怕的冬季低氣壓已經進入這個海域，她臉*變的蒼白。再由二十段“Off the south shore of Nova Scotia, Bill struggled to control the Shelly Girl in the growing waves. Wind and water attacked Bill and his crew from all directions. The forty- and fifty-foot walls of water were too much of a challenge for the young captain.”在新斯科舍省的南岸，比利在洶湧的海浪中掙扎着控制 Shelly Girl號。風和水從四面八方襲擊比爾和他的船員。四五十英尺高的水牆對年輕的船長來説是一個太大的挑戰。可知，雪萊很擔心比利，她什麼都做不了，只能在心裏為他祈禱。所以“雪萊坐在被受風雨侵蝕的房子的門廊上，這是她最喜歡的地方，鹹鹹的空氣粘在她厚重的冬衣上， 即將來臨的暴風雨將沙子吹過了她的冬靴”這句話應放在 ③處，説明了雪萊來此地的原因，也與下文比利戰暴風雨的畫面相互呼應，以此説明他們的心永遠在一起。故選C項。
49．推理判斷題。由倒數第三段“Shelly, you are my life, my love and soon-to-be mother of our son一girl if that is what you really want. I'll always come home.”可知，雪萊，你是我最愛的妻子，是我的愛人，是我們的兒子後者女兒的媽媽，那是你所想要的。我會回家的。再由倒數第二段“Tears dripped from her face and stained the paper she wrote on”眼淚從她臉上流下來，滴在了她寫信的紙上。所以通過比利寫給雪萊的內容和雪萊含淚寫回信可以判斷出，比利再也不會回來了，雪莉給比利的回信的內容是“比利，我知道海洋是你的家”。故選B項。
50．主旨大意題。短文敍述了男主人工和女主人公之間的愛情故事。男主人公在出海之前都會留給女主人公一張紙條，直到第二天她才被允許打開它，而女主人公會寫會一封回信，把它放在廚房的桌子上。男主人公回家第一件事就是看她的回信。女主人公目送男主人出海，而這次出海，男主人公就在也沒有回來，更沒有人去讀她的回信。所以短文的最佳標題是“永未讀的回信”。故選D項。
