【解析】⑴句意：乘船旅行有時候很危險。輪船有時候在遠離大陸的地方沉沒。sink下沉，主語ships是復數(shù)，故選C。
⑵句意：如果另外一艘輪船沒有來救他們，他們就沒有足夠的食物和水，他們就會死。ill adj生病的；die v死；dead adj死的； sick adj不舒服的。根據(jù)句意可知選B。
⑶句意：大部分人認為我們一定不要喝海水。他們認為如果我們喝了，我們因為海水里面的鹽而會很難受。此處指前文中的drink sea water喝海水，為了避免重復，用do代替，因為在if從句中用一般現(xiàn)在時表示一般將來，故選A。
⑷句意：因為海水里面的鹽。because引導從句；as引導從句；for表“因為”時引導從句，because of后跟名詞，all the salt in the water是名詞短語，故選D。
⑸句意：他認為人們可以通過喝海水，吃小魚，海里面的動植物來活著。by+動詞-ing，通過某種方式。and前后是平行結(jié)構(gòu)，根據(jù)后面的eating可知選C。
⑹句意：在1953年10月19日，他乘坐一艘小船橫渡大西洋。across是介詞；cross是動詞。to+動詞原形 構(gòu)成不定式，表示目的，故填C。
⑺句意：他也抓魚，魚的體內(nèi)有水。根據(jù)常識可知選B。
⑻句意：他從海里撈小植物，這些給他更多的食物。由句中的逗號可知這是一個非限制性定語從句，先行詞是small plants，故用which，故選B。
⑼句意：Bombard博士變得冷、疲勞，非常難受，但是過了65天后他仍然活著。cold冷的；warm溫暖的；cool涼快的；hot 熱的。根據(jù)前文的時間19 October可知是寒冷的，另外根據(jù)后面的tired和ill的感情色彩可以排除BCD，故選A。
⑽句意：他失去了20千克的體重，但是他向人們展示了人們可以靠海水和海洋里面動植物生活。live on以……為生。故選C。
