正确答案：D
stare“盯，凝视，目不转睛地看”，后面通常接介词at，如：stareatsb．“盯着某人”。scorn“轻蔑，不屑做”，很显然这两个词都不合适。skim“轻轻掠过(某表面)，轻轻擦过。略读，快读”，如：Theswallowwereskimming(over)thewater．“燕子掠过水面。”skim(through)anewspaper／catalogue，etc．“略读报纸(目录等)”。scan“细查，审视；匆促地略看，扫视”，如：Theshipwreckedsailorscannedthehori—zonanxiouslyeverymorning．“这位遭船难的水手每天早晨都焦急地审视着海天相接之处。”Hescannedthenewspaperwhilehavinghisbreakfast．“他在吃早餐的时候把报纸大略地翻阅了一下。”由此可见scan最符合题意，指“审视湖面以期发现船只的迹象"。
