3.A依据下文“‘It’shugelynow,’Gailsaid.‘Thelifeguardbackthenwouldsitinthechairandmightblowthewhistletotellyoutostoprunningorso.Theyhadnoflotationdevice—alltheywasawhistle.Sotheywerereallymorepolicethananythingelse.’”可知,盖尔了解到,现在做救生员和过去相比发生了很大的变更。故选A项。
4.C依据下文“‘Thelifeguardbackthenwouldsitinthechairandmightblowthewhistletotellyoutostoprunningorso.Theyhadnoflotationdevice—alltheywasawhistle.Sotheywerereallymorepolicethananythingelse.’”可知,现在和以前做救生员的状况不一样了。故选C项。
5.D依据下文“Sotheywerereallymorepolicethananythingelse.”可知,警察就是会时时常地吹哨子来提示人们不要乱跑。故选D项。6.A依据下文“wasawhistle”可知,哨子是救生员所拥有的东西。故选A项。7.A依据下文“Itincludesa300-yardswimandabrickatthebottomofapool.”可知,这是做一名救生员须要进行的身体素养的检查。故选A项。
8.C依据下文“Itincludesa300-yardswimandabrickatthebottomofapool.Still,evenknowingthesedidn’tstopGail.”可知,做一名救生员须要进行的体格检查不是开玩笑的,是须要真本领的。故选C项。
9.B依据下文“abrickatthebottomofapool”可知,因为盖尔要做救生员,就应当会遇到从水里把溺水者捞起来的状况,所以考试内容是从水底捞起一块砖。故选B项。10.D依据上文“Itincludesa300-yardswimandabrickatthebottomofapool.”可知,这些内容都是介绍做救生员须要进行的测试和要求。故选D项。
11.B依据上文“Iwentandgottheprecertification,andthenIwentthroughthefulltraining”可知,这里是说明盖尔重新成为救生员所付出的努力和得到的成果。故选B项。12.C依据下文“asapart-timelifeguard”可知,盖尔正式履行自己作为兼职救生员的职责。故选C项。13.D依据下文“moreshiftswhensummercomes”可知,当夏天到来时,盖尔应当是很可能会担当起更多的责任,接受更多的轮班。故选D项。14.A依据上文“but”可知,上下文是转折关系,上面提到盖尔夏天会很忙,所以现在的时辰表应当是比较灵敏的,不太忙。故选A项。15.B依据下文“willgiveother
