44-46題為題組
Summers with father were always enjoyable. Swimming, hiking, boating, fishing--the days were not long enough to contain all of our activities. There never seemed to be enough time to go to church, which disturbed some friends and relatives. Accused of neglecting this part of our education, my father still instituted a summer school for my brother and me. His summer course included ancient history, which Papa felt our schools neglected, and navigation, in which we first had a formal examination in the dining room, part of which consisted of tying several knots in a given time limit. Then we were each separately sent on what was grandly referred to as a cruise in my father’s 18-foot boat, spending the night on board, and loaded down, according to my mother, with enough food for a week. I remember that on my cruise I was required to formally plot our course, using the tide table, even though our goal was an island I could see quite clearly across the water in the distance.
【題組】44. As used in the passage, “navigation” clearly means_______.
(A) going to a summer school (B) the practice of sailing a boat
(C) the act of piloting an airplane (D) a formal examination in a dining room
