根据下文“due
to
a
shortage
of
lifeguards”可知,因为缺少救生员,所以游泳池不得不缩短开放时间或者关闭。故选C项。2.D
根据下文“Gail
officially
started
as
a
part-time
lifeguard
on
May
27.”和“Now,Gail
hopes
her
will
give
others
the
courage
they
need
to
give
lifeguarding
a
chance.”可知,在社区发生缺少救生员的情况时,66岁的盖尔挺身而出,又开始做救生员了。故选D项。
ⅠⅡⅢ3.A
根据下文“‘It’s
hugely
now,’Gail
said.‘The
lifeguard
back
then
would
sit
in
the
chair
and
might
blow
the
whistle
to
tell
you
to
stop
running
or
so.They
had
no
flotation
device—all
they
was
a
whistle.So
they
were
really
more
police
than
anything
else.’”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化。故选A项。
4.C
根据下文“‘The
lifeguard
back
then
would
sit
in
the
chair
and
might
blow
the
whistle
to
tell
you
to
stop
running
or
so.They
had
no
flotation
device—all
they
was
a
whistle.So
they
were
really
more
police
than
anything
else.’”可知,现在和以前做救生员的情况不一样了。故选C项。
5.D
根据下文“So
they
were
really
more
police
than
anything
else.”可知,警察就是会时不时地吹哨子来提醒人们不要乱跑。故选D项。ⅠⅡⅢ6.A
根据下文“was
a
whistle”可知,哨子是救生员所拥有的东西。故选A项。7.A
根据下文“It
includes
a
300-yard
swim
and
a
brick
at
the
bottom
of
a
pool.”可知,这是做一名救生员需要进行的身体素质的检查。故选A项。
8.C
根据下文“It
includes
a
300-yard
swim
and
a
brick
at
the
bottom
of
a
pool.Still,even
knowing
these
didn’t
stop
Gail.”可知,做一名救生员需要进行的体格检查不是开玩笑的,是需要真本事的。故选C项。
9.B
根据下文“a
brick
at
the
bottom
of
a
pool”可知,因为盖尔要做救生员,就应该会碰到从水里把溺水者捞起来的情况,所以考试内容是从水底捞起一块砖。故选B项。ⅠⅡⅢ10.D
根据上文“It
includes
a
300-yard
swim
and
a
brick
at
the
bottom
of
a
pool.”可知,这些内容都是介绍做救生员需要进行的测试和要求。故选D项。

根据上文“I
went
and
got
the
precertification,and
then
I
went
through
the
full
training”可知,这里是解释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
根据下文“as
a
part-time
lifeguard”可知,盖尔正式履行自己作为兼职救生员的职责。故选C项。ⅠⅡⅢ13.D
根据下文“more
shifts
when
summer
comes”可知,当夏天到来时,盖尔应该是很可能会承担起更多的责任,接受更多的轮班。故选D项。14.A
根据上文“but”可知,上下文是转折关系,上面提到盖尔夏天会很忙,所以现在的时间表应该是比较灵活的,不太忙。故选A项。15.B
根据下文“will
give
others
the
courage
they
need
to
give
lifeguarding
a
chance”可知,作为一名66岁的老人,盖尔希望自己所做的事情可以给他人勇气。故选B项。ⅠⅡⅢⅢ.读后续写阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。Itwasadreamborninfire.AndreaPetersonwas5whenshewastrappedontheledge(窗台)ofaburningbuilding.“Throwthekiddown!”saidoneofthefiremenbelow,whoseeyesarefirmandcourageous,alongwithprofessionalrescuetechniques.Seeingthis,littleAndreajumpedintolifesavingarmsandalife-longambition:Shewantedtofightfiresasherrescuersdid.ⅠⅡⅢShetoldthattothemenwhohadsavedher,andtheylaughednaturallythewaygrown-upsdowhenakidsayshewantstobeanastronautorasportsstar.Butthiswasbackinatimewhenlittlegirlsweren’tevenallowedtofantasize(幻想)aboutsuchgrandgoals.“You’llbeagoodmommy,”thefirementoldher.“You’llbeagoodteacher,maybeyou’llbeanurse,butyoucanneverbeafireman.”ⅠⅡⅢIndeed,lifesidelinedherambitiousdream.Shewasstudyingforadegreeinaviationtechnology(航空科技)andthat’swhereshemetherhusband,Dennis.Unfortunately,Denniswasdiagnosedwithcancer.Petersonspent31yearscaringforthemansheloved,andin2007,whenDenniswasabouttoleave,hewasatpeacebutworriedabouther.“Butwhatareyougoingtodo?”“I’llbefine,”shetoldhim.ⅠⅡⅢAt61,sheattendedacourseforemergencies.Shewentonanambulanceride-alongfromtimetotime.Itturnedouttobealife-and-deathsituation,whichremindedherofthechildhoodexperiencebackinthefire.Everytimeshesawpeoplewhowereinneedweresuccessfullyrescued,Petersonfeltthatlong-agochildhoodcalling.Sheearnedheremergencymedicaltechnicianlicenseandrespondedtofirecallswiththeambulance.ShefoundthatheryearsoftendingtoDennishadpreparedherfordealingwiththevarietyofhurtsandills.Theinsidecallingechoedincreasinglystronger.ⅠⅡⅢ注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式作答。Afterayear,shesignedupforatrainingunitforfirefighters.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Finallycamethewrittenandphysicalfitnesstestday.___________________________________________________
