Question

Diane Ray was completely self-centered and very spoilt. Her parents gave her   36 she wanted, knowing that she would throw a temper tantrum(耍小孩脾氣)if they did not. She would scream and kick and  37 on the floor drumming her heels. Her parents always   38 .
That was why she was alone on the  39 , wearing an expensive swimsuit. It has taken a massive tantrum to  40 her parents to buy it. They were back at the beach-house, 41 from the tantrum she had thrown when they told her that it was too dangerous to go diving  42 . “Dangerous?” she had said. “You just don’t want me to have  43 . I’m going and if you try to stop me, I’ll scream.”
“What are you doing ?” a voice asked. Diane jumped. She did not know that the man was there 44  he spoke .
“I’m going diving, ” she answered.
“You shouldn’t swim that day, ” the man  45 . “There is a storm coming up.”
“You should mind your own   46 !” Diane replied and walked into the gentle waves.
“If you go out there you’ll be  47 ,” the man called after her. She did not bother to reply.
Diane slipped into the water and dived   48  until white caps began rolling in and it became harder to  49 against the current (水流). Saltwater hit against her face, making it  50 to breathe. Oh, why had she not listened to advice.
Panicking, she began to  51 . Then, just as it seemed as if she would slip beneath the surface, she heard a  52 voice. “Hold on ! I’m coming.” With  53 , she saw the old man rowing an ancient-looking boat towards her. “I hope you’ve learned a lesson. You put us both in  54 , ” he shouted angrily, as he dragged her over the side of the  55 . Gratefully, Diane thanked him and ran towards the beach-house.

解析【文章大意】主人公Diane Ray是個(gè)任性執(zhí)拗的女孩。父母對(duì)其無(wú)奈。多虧有好人相助，使她在一次游泳中化險(xiǎn)為夷。這也給了她一個(gè)實(shí)實(shí)在在的教訓(xùn)！
【小題1】由上文Diane Ray was … very spoilt.(受寵)以及下文…knowing that she would throw a temper tantrum if they did not。可以推測(cè)：她想要什么，父母親給她什么。
【小題2】Diane Ray會(huì)耍小孩脾氣。碰到?jīng)]滿(mǎn)足之事，不難想象她會(huì)：scream（尖叫） and kick（亂踢） and…on the floor drumming her heels.(耍賴(lài)躺在地上頓腳)。jump      （跳）， spin （旋轉(zhuǎn)），sleep（睡）都不能準(zhǔn)確體現(xiàn)Diane Ray的個(gè)性。
【小題3】set out 出發(fā) set in 以……為背景 gave in 屈服gave out 分發(fā)由上文Diane Ray was … very spoilt.(受寵)和throw a temper tantrum(耍小孩脾氣)可以得知父母對(duì)其無(wú)奈，只得屈服。
【小題4】確定該選項(xiàng)的三個(gè)信息：①后文…wearing an expensive swimsuit(游泳衣)，穿著游泳衣準(zhǔn)備下水。②故事的主要情節(jié)是她在一次游泳中化險(xiǎn)為夷。③They were back at the beach-house 和Gratefully, Diane thanked him and ran towards the beach-house.
【小題5】get sb to do sth="make" sb do sth 使得某人做某事。該句的意思是：Diane Ray肯定耍了多次小孩脾氣才使得父母為其買(mǎi)下了游泳衣。
【小題6】由They were back at the beach-house和 when they told her that it was too dangerous to go diving可以得知Diane Ray不被允許go diving，那她又會(huì)throw a temper tantrum。recover from… 有“從…恢復(fù)”之意。此處recovering…為動(dòng)詞ing形式做伴隨狀語(yǔ)。如果去掉介詞from，可以考慮用appearing。
【小題7】“單獨(dú)”下水游泳，才可能產(chǎn)生危險(xiǎn)。C 選項(xiàng)again(又)，上下文中并沒(méi)有提及她之前在那下水游泳過(guò)。所以不符原文意思。
【小題8】Diane Ray想下水，不管有伴沒(méi)伴，純粹是為了自個(gè)兒嬉耍玩樂(lè)。根本不考慮是否有危險(xiǎn)性。have fun玩耍其它選項(xiàng)不符合原文意思。
【小題9】正吵著要下水時(shí)候Diane冷不丁聽(tīng)到一個(gè)聲音。她的反應(yīng)是 jumped. 當(dāng)然直到the man說(shuō)話時(shí)才意識(shí)到他的存在。Not …until…直到……才……
【小題10】“You shouldn’t swim that day, ” 是陌生人給她的一個(gè)建議。下文危險(xiǎn)發(fā)生后Oh, why had she not listened to advice.該句可以印證。
【小題11】mind one’s business管自己的事，不干涉別人的事如：A：Where did you go last night? 昨晚你去那兒去了?B：Mind your own business. 你少管閑事。又如：It’s none of your business. 這不關(guān)你的事(你少管閑事)。
【小題12】上文“There is a storm coming up.”（有暴風(fēng)雨快來(lái)了。）而Diane不聽(tīng)建議，不顧危險(xiǎn)下水游泳，那可能會(huì)出了事的。出了事會(huì)痛苦，難過(guò)的。這是勸說(shuō)者想表達(dá)的意思。D選項(xiàng)excited與原文意思相悖。angry和confused不符合原意。
【小題13】Diane Ray不顧危險(xiǎn)獨(dú)自下水了，并且游得很起勁。此時(shí)危險(xiǎn)來(lái)臨。D選項(xiàng)符合邏輯。A 選項(xiàng)nervously（緊張地），干擾最大。但聯(lián)系上文Diane任性的個(gè)性。她不聽(tīng)勸告，顯然不會(huì)意識(shí)到危險(xiǎn)性的存在。所以A選項(xiàng)排除。B,C選項(xiàng)不符文意。
【小題14】根據(jù)“…white caps began rolling in…（浪端的白泡沫不斷翻滾.，越積越厚）”和“…and it became harder to …against the current ”（游過(guò)水流，變得更難了。），所以B選項(xiàng)swim符合原文邏輯。
【小題15】根據(jù)行文邏輯，該段主要描寫(xiě)Diane Ray不聽(tīng)勸告私自游水面臨的險(xiǎn)象。又如“…Saltwater hit against her face, making it …to breathe.”Saltwater打臉，嗆口，當(dāng)然使得呼吸產(chǎn)生困難。所以A選項(xiàng)符合文意。
【小題16】上文從浪端泡沫翻滾和Saltwate打臉，嗆口兩方面描繪Diane Ray面臨的生命危險(xiǎn)。“Panicking, she began to …”Diane Ray開(kāi)始緊張了，便大聲呼救。所以D選項(xiàng)正確。A選項(xiàng) speak干擾較大，側(cè)重“演講，發(fā)言”之意。所以A答案不選。
【小題17】原文“…seemed as if she would slip beneath the surface, …”（Diane Ray看來(lái)正要下沉?xí)r），有個(gè)聲音在說(shuō)“Hold on ! I’m coming”（堅(jiān)持住！我就來(lái)了。）。話中透露出冷靜的語(yǔ)氣：面對(duì)險(xiǎn)境，別慌！所以A選項(xiàng)calm符合文章邏輯。
【小題18】看到 the old man rowing an ancient-looking boat towards her。有人來(lái)救她了！當(dāng)然感到舒了一口氣。With relief 寬慰，舒心 at ease安逸，自由自在
【小題19】Diane Ray 的任性，不聽(tīng)勸告私自下水會(huì)出生命危險(xiǎn)。而在暴風(fēng)雨天氣中施救者同時(shí)可能有危險(xiǎn)，所以可推測(cè)句子“You put us both in…, ” 意為“你置于我們都處于險(xiǎn)境”。In danger 處于危險(xiǎn)之中
【小題20】由上文“she saw the old man rowing an ancient-looking boat towards her.”（……看見(jiàn)這位老人朝她劃著一只古舊的小船。）可以判斷出施救者是劃船去救人的。因此把她從水中撈起，拉上船舷（the side of the boat）。C選項(xiàng)beach干擾最大，但一般先救上船中，然后帶到岸邊。所以C項(xiàng)不選。
