Answer 1

【主旨大意】本篇短文是一则寓言故事，两只掉在深洞里的青蛙，一只听说了根本出不来，一时失望掉在里面摔死了，而另一只呢？却把别人的话语当成了鼓励与鞭策，坚持不懈地努力，最终取得了胜利，这就教育我们：同样是别人的语言，你当成鼓励可以帮助你，否则完全也可以害死你。

51. B 通读全文，尤其后面的“不能挽救”和jump up以及掉下去就摔死，更能体现是太“深”了。

52. A 这里构成not care不介意。

53. A 构成keep doing sth坚持；继续做某事。

54. B 最后；终于有一个听见了，而不是幸运地或突然地。

55. D 听到其他青蛙的话，即了解了事实，自然就“放弃”。

56. B 然而，没有听到的青蛙是“继续”努力。

57. A 上句说到它成功了，也就是从里面“出来”get out.

58. C 由上文的没听见也可以知道是它的“听力”hearing差。

59. D 考查词组teach sb a lesson“给某人以教训，给某人上了一课”。

60. D 和后面的discouraging相对应，所以这里是：鼓励的话语可以使人脱离困难。
