A ship met a storm at sea and only two of the men were able to swim to a small, deserted island. Not knowing what else to do, they agreed to pray(祈祷) to God on opposite sides of the island.
Of course, the first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit tree on his side. But there was nothing on the other man’s side.
Later the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day, all of these things were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.
Finally, the first man prayed for a ship so that he could leave the island, and the next morning he found a ship.
The first man decided to leave alone. As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice, “Why are you leaving your friend on island?”
“My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one that prayed for them,” the first man answered. “His prayers were all unanswered.”
“You are wrong!” the voice said. “He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of our blessings.”
“Tell me”, the first man asked, “what he prayed for?”
“He prayed that all your prayers would be answered.”
For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of others’ prayers for us

解析

试题分析：这篇短文中作者给我们讲述了一个故事，两个人被困在了一个岛上，他们不知道怎么办，只有向上帝祷告。第一个人的祷告总是能实现，他觉得这是他一个人祈祷的结果，所以打算一个人离开。但是事实上是因为第二个人祷告说，希望第一个人的祈祷都能实现。作者想要通过这个故事告诉我们，我们的祈祷之所以能实现，是因为别人对我们的祈祷。
小题1:细节理解题。根据短文Finally, the first man prayed for a ship so that he could leave the island, and the next morning he found a ship. The first man decided to leave alone. “My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one that prayed for them可知，第一个获得了他祈祷得来的东西，打算一个人离开。他觉得他的祈祷是他一个人的，是他祈祷得来了那艘船。由此可知选C。
小题2:词义猜测题。根据文意及这个单词所在的句子可知，当两个人被困在一个岛上的时候，他们不知道该做些什么，只有向上帝祈祷。这里的blessing 和pray的意思是相近的，都是祈祷或祈福的意思。故选A。
小题3:细节理解题。根据故事的最后部分可知，第一个人之所以能得到他祈祷的东西，是因为第二个人的祷告，他希望第一个所祈祷的东西都能实现。故应该选B。
小题4:主旨大意题。这篇短文中作者给我们讲述了一个故事，两个人被困在了一个岛上，他们不知道怎么办只有向上帝祷告。第一个人的祷告总是能实现，他觉得这是他一个人祈祷的结果，所以打算一个人离开。但是事实上是因为第二个人祷告说，希望第一个人的祈祷都能实现。作者想要通过这个故事告诉我们，我们的祈祷之所以能实现，是因为别人对我们的祈祷。故D选项朋友的祈祷这个题目最能概括短文大意。故选D。
