答案： 1. B 句意：第一艘船，“萨姆森号”，离沉船只有7英里，但“萨姆森号”上的人没有帮忙。前后分句之间是转折关系，故选but。
2. D 由上下文可知，另一艘船，“加利福尼亚号”，离沉船有14英里。他们看到了求救信号。see意为“看见”，符合语境。
3. D 上文叙述周围有冰，而且天色已晚。故判断，他们认为采取行动不安全。safe意为“安全的”，符合语境。
4. A 由上文可知，这是晚上，他们认为去救援不安全。故判断，他们决定等到第二天早上。wait意为“等待”，符合语境。

6. D 由上文可知，“卡帕西亚号”正在朝另一个方向行驶。故判断，船长需要调转船头去帮助那艘沉船。turn... around意为“（使）调转方向；（使）转向”，符合语境。
7. D 由语境可知，尽管天黑且有冰，但他依然继续前进。keep意为“保持；继续”，符合语境。
8. A 上文叙述第三艘船去救援了。故判断，此处指“卡帕西亚号”在那个晚上救出了705条生命。save意为“救；挽救”，符合语境。
9. B 由上文可知，“卡帕西亚号”在天黑且有冰的情况下去救人。故判断，此处指一个人选择了做正确的事，即使那很艰难。hard意为“困苦的；艰难的”，符合语境。
10. C 由上下文可知，此处指勇气并不只是表现得非常勇敢。brave意为“勇敢的”，符合语境。
