"Tonight?" I was not ready for this.
"Tonight," he repeated. "We are a few miles off the Spanish coast. It will be dark, and the wind is blowing in the right direction. You agreed, Dr Aronnax, to escape(逃跑) with me. Remember your promise!" I said nothing. "At nine o'clock," continued Ned Land, "I will go to the stair with Conseil. You will wait in the library for our signal(信号). I have already put some food in the dinghy. Everything is done!"
"The sea is quite rough," I said.
"Yes, but if we don't go tonight, we will soon be too far from land!" I knew that he was right. I was also frightened. What would Captain Nemo do if he discovered our plan, or if we failed? I had not seen him for several days. Now, I did not want to see him. He might notice that I was nervous. I stayed in my room as the hours slowly passed.
At seven o'clock, I had dinner in my room. Only two hours to go! I was so nervous that I felt sick. I had a headache. I walked up and down in my room. As I looked around, I saw that Captain Nemo's bedroom door was open. The room was empty.
It was eight o'clock, and I went to the dark library. As I waited, I felt a bump as the submarine(潜水艇) came to rest on the ocean floor.
The library door opened, and Captain Nemo entered. He told me that we were in Vigo Bay. A Spanish admiral(海军少将) had burned his own ships there in 1702 to prevent the British Navy from taking the huge amount of gold they were carrying. He took me to the window. The crew(船员) were gathering the gold from the sand and bringing it to the submarine. Now, I knew how Captain Nemo had become so rich.

答案：7. B 【点拨】根据“We are a few miles off the Spanish coast...”及“Yes，but if we don't go tonight，we will soon be too far from land!”可知，逃跑的理由包括离西班牙海岸线不远了，风向正好，天很黑不容易被发现，而 B 选项没有提到。故选 B。
8. A 【点拨】根据“I have already put some food in the dinghy.”可知，尼德提到“已将食物放入 dinghy”，结合逃跑计划需要小船，推断 dinghy 为小型船只。故选 A。
9. D 【点拨】根据“I knew that he was right. I was also frightened... He might notice that I was nervous. I stayed in my room as the hours slowly passed.”可知，阿龙纳斯很紧张、担忧。故选 D。
10. B 【点拨】全文围绕逃跑计划的准备、阿龙纳斯的心理活动及意外插曲展开，选项 B 准确概括主题。故选 B。
8. A 【点拨】根据“I have already put some food in the dinghy.”可知，尼德提到“已将食物放入 dinghy”，结合逃跑计划需要小船，推断 dinghy 为小型船只。故选 A。

【分析】
这是一篇记叙文阅读理解，解题时可以按照不同题型的对应方法逐步推导：
1. 第7题是细节判断题，首先明确题干要求找出不属于Ned提出的当晚逃跑的理由，回到原文定位所有Ned的表述，逐一和选项比对排除即可。
2. 第8题是词义猜测题，结合“准备逃跑、提前放置食物”的上下文场景，结合常识推导该事物的属性，排除不符合场景的选项。
3. 第9题是人物情感推断题，直接定位原文中描述Dr Aronnax心理活动的语句，总结他的状态即可。
4. 第10题是主旨大意题，梳理全文的叙事脉络，区分局部细节和全文核心主题，排除片面、无关的选项得到答案。
【解析】
7. 细节理解题：根据原文内容，Ned提出的逃跑理由包括距离西班牙海岸很近、天色昏暗不易被发现、风向合适利于行动，而“海面十分汹涌”是Dr Aronnax提出的顾虑，并非Ned给出的要当晚逃跑的理由，因此选B。
8. 词义猜测题：结合两人从潜水艇逃往陆地的场景，需要搭载食物的小型逃生交通工具，可推断dinghy是供逃生使用的小型划艇/救生艇，其余选项：大型运输船、勘探潜艇、储食物的房间都不符合逃跑场景的逻辑，因此选A。
9. 情感态度题：原文明确提到Dr Aronnax害怕计划被尼莫船长发现、害怕行动失败，同时紧张到头疼、在房间来回踱步，能看出他既紧张又担忧，对应选项D。
10. 主旨大意题：全文围绕Dr Aronnax收到逃跑通知后，为当晚的逃跑行动做准备、等待同伴信号的过程展开，末尾尼莫船长带他看黄金的内容只是途中的小插曲，A选项仅对应局部内容，C、D完全偏离叙事核心，因此选B。
【答案】
7.B 8.A 9.D 10.B
【知识点】
细节理解，词义猜测，主旨大意
【点评】
本题选取《海底两万里》的经典片段，题型覆盖初中英语阅读理解的高频考点，解题时要注意精准定位题干对应的原文信息，区分不同人物的表述避免混淆，词义猜测要结合场景逻辑推导，主旨类题目要注意不能把段落局部内容错当成全文核心。
