    主旨大意题。本文是一则新闻,新闻的主体部分通常都在开头。根据文章第一段第二句话“But on Tuesday, as part of the largest salvage(打捞)operation ever conducted, the large ship was finally moved to the upright position.”可知,这一文章主要是介绍歌诗达协和号救援打捞的过程,因此选D:对歌诗达协和号的救援。A、B项均未提到歌诗达协和号船,这个核心主题。C项说的是灾难,不是文章的主体内容。

    正确答案: D
    解析:

He worked at a desk by a window that always had a vase of flowers and the same ornament on it.(狄更斯很重视细节。每件事情都得恰到好处。他在家工作时,每样东西都得在它本来的位置上。他在窗边的一张桌子那儿工作,那里总是放着一个装着鲜花的花瓶,窗户上总是贴着一成不变的装饰物。)”可知,他很关注周围的事物。因此D项正确。
