解析:

內容概要：本文描述了一艘船在寒冷的天氣中，遭遇到了冰凍，但在船長和船員的共同努力下，最終脫離了險境。

【小題1】需要船員們去叫醒，說明“睡著了”。

【小題2】with great care 意為“細心地”，系固定搭配，在此作狀語。

【小題3】make a hole“弄一個洞”，意思較為籠統。drill暗指用鉆去鉆，dig暗指用鍬去挖，而船長用的工具卻是斧頭，故B、C兩個選項應該舍去。

【小題4】在輪流干之前，只是船長一人在干，船長干時，大家只是在一旁注視著。

【小題5】因為情況比較危急，所以大家觀望時心情一定很焦慮。

【小題6】前后有因果關系。

【小題7】由each member推知，眾船員“依次”干了起來。

【小題8】bear意為“忍受”,表明大家在盡全力干，能干多長就干多長。put up 后加上with ,也可作“忍受”講。

【小題9】因為站著破冰有危險，所以設法“跪下”。從詞語搭配關系中也能得到一點啟發。

【小題10】掉下大海無法營救，所以站在很滑的甲板上某種程度上就意味著“死亡”。

【小題11】call to sb大聲叫某人，call on拜訪（某人），call up打電話，call at拜訪（某地），四個詞組中只有call to 合乎語境。

【小題12】點上爐子是為了讓爐子“散發”熱量，保持船艙暖和。

【小題13】為使船艙不結冰，就要使其溫度保持在“冰點”之上。

【小題14】冰融化后，可使船的重量減輕，使船體上浮。

【小題15】如果冰不清除，船就會不斷下沉，那就肯定“危險”了。

【小題16】船上浮是在船員們一小時的辛勞之后得以實現的。

【小題17】remove“去除”，等于take away。

【小題18】in spite of 意為“不管、盡管”，表示讓步關系。

【小題19】另三個詞不能按sb to do。

【小題20】float意為“漂浮”，清除冰的目的顯然是為了不使船下沉。
