【语篇解读】本文是一篇讲述一个小女孩的冒险经历的记叙文。

一个完全以自我为中心、被父母宠坏的小女孩不听父母劝告，也不听

一位老人劝告，在暴风雨快要来临时独自去潜水，遭遇了危险，最终

被老人所救。

1.A.eitherB.neitherC.nothingD.everything

答案D

解+析根据上下文语境解题。根据下上文说到她完全以自我为

中心并且被宠坏了(completelyself-centredandveryspoilt),下文说如

果父母不那样做，她就会发小孩子脾气，因此可推知：父母给她想

要的一切东西(everything)。

2.A.jumpB.lieC.spinD.sleep

答案B

解+析根据生活常识解题。小孩子耍脾气的时候，通常是又尖

叫又踢脚又躺(lie)在地上用脚后跟敲打地面。其余三选项分别意为：

“跳跃”；“旋转”；“睡觉”，均不符合题意。

3.A.setoutB.setin

C.gaveinD.gaveout

答案C

解+析考查动词词组辨析。她一耍小孩脾气，她的父母总是屈

服、让步(gavein)。setout”开始,出发“；setin”以...为背景“；

gaveout”分发，用完”。

4.A.beachB.bedC.floorD.ship

答案A

解+析利用下文暗示解题。根据下文提到的godiving可知，是

在沙滩(beach)上，准备下水。

5.A.allowB.warnC.getD.prefer

答案C

解+析根据上下文语境解题。句意：她耍了好大的小孩子脾气

才让她父母给她买的。“让某人做某事"：getsomebodytodosomething.

其余三选项分别意为：“允许”；“警告”；“更喜欢，偏爱”，不符合语

境。

6.A.changingB.recovering

C.appearingD.traveling

答案B

解+析根据上下文语境解题。父母告诉她去潜水很危险的时候，

她又耍小孩子脾气，父母按理应该很不高兴，回到了海边房子里，慢

慢地消气，因此选择recovering(from):“从当中恢复过来“。其

余三选项分别为：“改变”；“出现”；“旅行”，均不符合题意。

7.A.aloneB.awayC.againD.aside

答案A

解+析根据上文词汇复现解题。本段开头“Thatwaswhyshewas

alone”提示了答案。

8.A.timeB.moneyC.foodD.fun

答案D

解+析根据生活常识和语境解题。此处她是要“godiving"，是

一种娱乐活动，可知是想“havefun”,玩得开心。

9.A.whenB.untilC.afterD.once

答案B

解+析此处考查固定句型：not...until...(直至才)。直

到那个人说话，她才知道他在那里。

10.A.decidedB.intendedC.advisedD.repeated

答案C

解+析根据同义词复现解题。由15空后面一句话“Oh,why

hadshenotlistenedtotheadvice?”中的advice可知，那个人是建议

(advised)她的。其余三项分别意为：“决定”；“打算”；“重复”，均不

符合语境。

11.A.businessB.swimsuitC.friendsD.parents

答案A

解+析此处考查固定结构。mindyourownbusiness意为”管好

你自己的事，或不要多管闲事”。

12.A.angryB.sorryC.confusedD.excited

答案B

解+析利用下文暗示解题。根据15空后面“Oh,whyhadshe

notlistenedtotheadvice?”可知她后悔了，因此老人事先就警告她:

你会后悔(sorry)的。

13.A.nervouslyB.sadlyC.shylyD.happily

答案D

解+析根据词语的感情色彩和语境解题。首先，D项的感情色

彩明显不同于其他三项；其次，她达成所愿，因此会潜得很开心

(happily)o

14.A.riseB.swimC.stopD.row

答案B

解+析根据上下文语境解题。因为暴风雨即将来临，故而浪很

大，逆流游泳(swim)很困难。注意row是指用桨划。

15.A.difficultB.easyC.comfortableD.suitable

答案A

解+析根据词语的感情色彩和语境解题。首先，A项的感情色

彩明显不同于其他三项；其次，根据语境可知，浪很大，冲击着她的

脸，因此造成呼吸困难(difficult)。

16.A.speakB.singC.sniffD.scream

答案D

解+析根据生活常识解题。此时她处于恐慌(panicking)状态，

按照常识，会尖叫(scream),而不会是说话、唱歌或嗅味道。

17.A.calmB.frightening

C.beautifulD.disgusting

答案A

解+析根据下文语境解题。从下面的老人说的“Holdon!I'm

coming."，可见他很平静，处变不惊，也是为了让女孩有安全感。其

余三项分别意为：“令人害怕的”；“美妙的”；“令人厌恶的”，均不符

合语境。

18.A.regretB.reliefC.interestD.ease

答案B

解+析根据上下文语境解题。女孩本来处在危险之中，当看到

有人划船过来救她的时候，应该感到轻松(relief)一些，不那么紧张了。

其余三项分别意为：“后悔”；“兴趣”；“舒适”，均不符合语境。

19.A.powerB.safetyC.dangerD.thought

答案C

解+析根据上文语境解题。根据前文所描述的情形，女孩处在

很危险的情形中，老人去救她，也是冒着危险的，因此女孩的举动让

他们都处于危险(danger)之中。

20.A.houseB.waveC.beachD.boat

答案D

解+析根据句内逻辑关系解题。句中说到“draggedheroverthe

sideof5,over此处意为"越过”，老人能把女孩拖着越过某物的一侧

或一边，在房子，波浪，沙滩和船之中，只有船符合逻辑了。
