阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

While researching one of the books, I came across a story of an 11-year-old Dutch boy who had climbed up on top of a life raft (救生筏) after his ship was attacked in 1942. The raft drifted off (漂走) into the night and was never seen again. I

was taken by the story of the event and thought about the possibility of using it in a novel later on.

Over the next ten years, 1957 to 1967, the boy on the raft was never far away from my mind. Finally, I decided to bring that boy back to life from the dead. I thought the key to the story might be the “rescuer” — hopefully someone who knew the Caribbean Sea, who’d sailed it for a long time.

This man came to me in the form of an old black man named Robert, who couldn’t read or write, yet he was one of the wisest men I’d ever talked to. He became “Timothy” of The Cay. He knew more about the Caribbean than anyone I’d been around.

I didn’t know any Dutch boys and refuse to write about people or places that I don’t know about. So I came up with Phillip, a boy with whom I’d played from about the age of five until I was ten. Mostly, I remembered Phillip for one thing — his deep anger and distrust of black people.

So I thought it would be an interesting situation if I placed the prejudiced (有偏见的) Phillip on that life raft with a black man upon whom his very life would depend. Then I blinded Phillip purposely, hoping he’d be color-blind before the story was over; hoping he’d learn something about the tragedy of racial prejudice. 51. What happened to the Dutch boy? A. He was lost at sea on a raft. B. He was rescued by the author. C. He was attacked by a black man. D. He made a raft to sail the Caribbean. 52. Who was the model of Timothy in The Cay?

A. The author. B. The Dutch boy. C. Robert. D. Phillip. 53. We can learn from the text that Phillip _____. A. was a blind man B. was a very interesting man C. knew the Caribbean very well D. was the author’s childhood friend
