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.  
Apparently a knockabout is______.

选项 A、a seaman’s knot
B、a cruise
C、an island
D、a boat

答案D

解析 文中出现了许多和航海有关的词汇,比如navigation,cruise,on board,course,tide table,island,water等,因此能猜出这个词的意思是一艘船。
