【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要记叙了在一场船难中，唯一的生存者随着潮水，漂流到一座无人居住的小岛上，并在小岛上求生的故事。

1.考查名词。句意：在一场船难中，唯一的生存者随着潮水，漂流到一座无人居住的小岛上。此处做主语，表示“幸存者”应用survivor，且根据后文was可知，应用单数形式。故填survivor。

2.考查定语从句。本句为定语从句修饰先行词island，且先行词在从句中做地点状语，应用关系副词where。故填where。

3.考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，search在句中作非谓语动词，与逻辑主语he构成主动关系，应用现在分词。故填searching。

4.考查形容词。修饰后文名词hut，应用形容词wooden表示“木制的”。故填wooden。

5.考查介词。根据短语on fire表示“着火”。故填on。

6.考查动词时态。think在句中作谓语动词，根据上文He burst into tears and可知，此处为一般过去时。故填thought。

7.考查冠词。ship为可数名词，此处表示泛指，应用不定冠词，且ship为辅音音素开头的单词，应用a，句首字母要大写。故填A。

8.考查连接词。句意：这个疲惫的人很好奇他的救援人员是如何找到他的。本句为宾语从句，从句中缺少方式状语，表示“如何”用how引导。故填how。

9.考查代词。句意：但是我们不应该失去信心，因为只要有一点点好运气，我们就能克服世界上最严重的不幸。此处做主语表示“我们”应用代词we。故填we。

10.考查介词。根据短语provide sb. with sth.表示“提供某人某物”。故填with。
