Answer 1

1、根据语境：当他们注意到那艘船的时候，他们几乎很难游向海岸边。than用与比较的句子当中；as也可以用做时间状语，但是它只具有一般性；so是因此的意思，用在句子当中不合适。when是指正在发生的动作。选B
2、以什么样的速度，通常是at speed，句子的搭配问题。
3、显然后面要接副词，B不可以用，而A、C一般用于修饰词的前面，所以选D，a lot也可以做副词的哦。
4、此题考的是同意词的辨析，in despair就等于desperately。

Answer 2

等了好一会儿，本来不想写的，但楼上的误人子弟……
英语是一门语言，很多是没有为什么的，用惯了就可以了，就是这么用的
1、hardly...when...=no sooner....than...意思是"一....就.....",如:Hardly had I got home when it began to rain.=No sooner had I got home than it began to rain.我一到家天就开始下雨了
他们刚开始游向海岸边就注意到那艘船
2、习惯搭配，解释是多余的
3、a lot当然可以做副词 Thanks a lot!
4、同意楼上的，考的是同意词的辨析，in despair就等于desperately
