答案： Ⅵ. 语篇导读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是一位年轻人在退潮后在海边尽力地捡海星，并将它们放回海水里的故事。作者告诉我们：虽然我们不能完全地影响世界，但是我们可以尽力影响我们可以影响的对象。
1.C 考查动词词义辨析。根据上文“The old man woke up just before sunrise，as he often did.”及空后的“the new day”可知，老人醒来后在沙滩上漫步迎接新的一天。故选C。
2.B 考查动词词义辨析。根据下文“He saw a young man，bending (弯腰) and waving arms，dancing on the beach...”对这个年轻人的描述可知，此处指老人注意到一个年轻人。focus on集中注意力于，是固定短语。故选B。
3.C 考查名词词义辨析。根据空前“a young man，bending (弯腰) and waving arms，dancing on the beach”可知，年轻人弯着腰，挥舞着手臂，在沙滩上跳舞，这无疑是在欢迎完美的一天即将开始。no doubt无疑。故选C。
4.D 考查动词词义辨析。上文“a small，far-away figure of a boy”提到老人远远看到一个男孩的身影，下文“he realised that the young man was not dancing on the beach，but rather bending to look through what was left by the night's 5”提到老人意识到年轻人不是在跳舞，而是在仔细查看什么，说明老人走近了那个男孩。故选D。
5.A 考查名词词义辨析。根据下文年轻人说的话“The tide has washed the starfish onto the beach”可知，他是在查看夜晚的潮汐在岸上留下的东西。故选A。
6.D 考查动词词义辨析。根据“then standing，to throw it back into the 7”可知，他应是弯腰捡起海星然后扔回去。pick up捡起。
→其他含义：接（人）；（不费力）学会
7.A 考查名词词义辨析。结合上文内容可知，老人和年轻人都是在海边，故是把海星扔回大海，下一段中“unless I put them back into the sea”也是提示。故选A。
8.A 考查名词词义辨析。下文年轻人解释了捡海星扔回大海的原因，故可知此处老人是在询问他这样做的目的。故选A。
9.D 考查动词词义辨析。根据下文“I put them back into the sea”可知，年轻人把海星扔回海里是因为海星被冲到岸上后自己无法返回大海。故选D。
10.B 考查名词词义辨析。上文年轻人向老人解释自己为什么这样做，故此处指当年轻人解释的时候，老人看着广阔的沙滩。故选B。
11.C 考查名词词义辨析。根据“the old man looked at the wide beach”可知，老人看着广阔的沙滩，沙滩向两个方向延伸。故选C。
12.D 考查形容词词义辨析。根据上文“extending (延伸) in both 11 beyond eyesight”可知，沙滩似乎望不到尽头，故此处指岸上的海星似乎没有尽头。故选D。
13.A 考查形容词词义辨析。上文提到岸上的海星似乎看不到尽头，结合下文“the old man countered”可知，老人反对，说明在他看来，年轻人的做法显然没什么作用。故选A。
14.B 考查名词词义辨析。根据上文“But there are more starfish on this beach than you can ever save before the sun has risen.”可知，老人认为年轻人的做法起不了什么作用。make a difference起作用，有影响，下文“I made a difference to this one.”也是提示。
→make no difference 没有影响
15.D 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：年轻人停下来想了想这句话，弯腰捡起一只海星，尽可能远地扔了出去。A. probable可能的；B. likely可能的；C. necessary必要的；D. possible可能的。as far as possible尽可能，尽量，是固定短语，符合句意。故选D。
