2021年重庆市高三高考适应性月考卷（十）英语试卷阅读理解B篇
An American brother and sister have survived a 14-hour swim to safety in the Caribbean after the fishing boat they had rented sank off the north coast of St Lucia.
Dan Susk, 30-year-old IT professional from San Francisco, said he had been fishing in rough seas with help from his sister, Kate Suski, a 39-year-old architect, when the ship began to sink on 21April. Water flooded the engine room. The captain threw life jackets to the Suski and said, “Jump out! Jump out!” The Suski obeyed and jumped into the water with the captain and the first mate (大副). Less than five minutes later the boat sank. They were at least eight mile was telling us to stay together, and that help was on its way and that we needed to wait, Kate Suski said. After an hour, when no help came, the Suski decided to swim for it and lost sight of the captain and the first mate.
A helicopter appeared in the distance but no one spotted them. Several hours went by, and the sun began to set. “There’s this very real understanding that the situation is dire,” Kate Suski said both considered the possible ways we might die. Would we drown? Be eaten by a shark? Would our legs give out and make it impossible to swim?
They swam for 12 to 14 hours, talking as they pushed and trembled their way through the ocean. When in the moonlight they finally came within about 10 meters of land they realized that they were looking at steep rocky cliffs and would be beaten to death against them if they tried to approach any closer. They swam until they noticed sand nearby around midnight and dragged themselves ashore. Later, the Suski were treated in hospital. They learned that the captain and the first mate were rescued after spending nearly 23 hours in the water.
一对美国兄妹在加勒比海租来的渔船在圣卢西亚北部海岸沉没，他们游了14个小时才获救。
来自旧金山的30岁IT专业人士丹·苏斯克(Dan Susk)说，当船于4月21日开始下沉时，他正在波涛汹涌的海面上捕鱼，他的妹妹、39岁的建筑师凯特·苏斯基(Kate Suski)帮助他。水淹没了机舱。船长把救生衣扔给苏斯基，说:“跳下去!跳出去!”水手们服从命令，与船长和大副一起跳入水中(大副)。不到五分钟，船就沉了。Kate Suski说:“他们在至少八英里外告诉我们要呆在一起，救援正在路上，我们需要等待。”过了一个小时，没有人来帮忙，苏斯基人决定游过去，于是就看不见船长和大副了。
一架直升机出现在远处，但没有人发现他们。几个小时过去了，太阳开始下山了。凯特·苏斯基说:“我们真切地认识到，情况很糟糕。”两人都考虑过我们可能的死亡方式。我们会淹死吗?被鲨鱼吃掉?我们的腿会不会不能动，不能游泳了?
他们游了12到14个小时，一边说着话，一边在海洋中奋力前行。在月光下，他们终于来到离陆地大约10米的地方，他们意识到他们正看着陡峭的岩石悬崖，如果他们试图再靠近一点，就会被他们打死。他们一直游，直到午夜左右发现附近有沙子，才把自己拖上岸。后来，苏斯基一家在医院接受了治疗。他们了解到，船长和大副在水中待了近23个小时后获救。
