【答案與解析】
1. D。promise 意為“答應、許諾”。此句意為:Trudy的父親曾答應過兩件事。
2. B。unless意為“如果不”。
3. D。由短文最后一句可知Trudy的父親答應過另一件東西是car。
4. C。start out意為“起程、著手進行”,現在分詞短語swimming strongly作狀語,補充說明了start out所做的具體事情。
5. A。上文提到了在上午7點09分開始游泳,在10點開始下雨,可推知Trudy是在正在午(at midday)喝水和吃雞腿。
6. C。由then可知,Trudy吃喝后又開始游泳了。
7. B。由the sea became rougher(海浪變得更大了)可知風力增強了(動詞rise有“增強”之意)。
8. B。由前面的at midday和后面的at seven o’clock可知此時應為late afternoon。
9. C。decide 意為“決定”。此句應為教練所作出的決定
10. C。give up 意為“放棄”。由于風大浪高,不宜游泳。故教練作出決定,要Trudy放棄游泳。
11. B。此句指在這樣惡劣的天氣狀況下,Trudy繼續(xù)游泳是愚蠢的(stupid)行為,其他選項的形容詞的意義均與句意不符。
12. D。Let her go on意為“讓她繼續(xù)游泳”。 Trudy的父親堅持讓Trudy繼續(xù)游泳,而不讓其他跟隨游泳的抓住她。
13. D。turn against 意為“轉而反對”,這里意為:潮水向Trudy涌來。
14. A。結合后面的信息:海岸已進入視力范圍,可知此時Trudy意識到(realize)勝利在望。
15. C。be in sight 意為“被看見”。
16. A。over表示“通過某物傳送”。這里指Trudy能夠聽見由風傳送來的岸上的汽車喇叭的歡呼聲。
17. D。remaining strength意為“剩余的力氣”。
18. C。cross作動詞用時意為“渡過、橫過”。這里指Trudy橫渡了英吉利海峽。
19. A。in spite of 意為“盡管、雖然”,表示讓步狀語,句意為:盡管狂風暴雨,Trudy還是游過了英吉利海峽。
20. D。guess 意為“猜測、認為、想”。此句意為:我想我這次得到了我的汽車。此車是她父親曾許諾過的。
