1-5DBDCA 6-10CBBCC 11-15BDDAC 16-20ADCAD


解析:

1. D。promise 意为“答应、许诺”。此句意为:Trudy的父亲曾答应过两件事。

2. B。unless意为“如果不”。

3. D。由短文最后一句可知Trudy的父亲答应过另一件东西是car。

4. C。start out意为“起程、着手进行”,现在分词短语swimming strongly作状语,补充说明了start out所做的具体事情。

5. A。上文提到了在上午7点09分开始游泳,在10点开始下雨,可推知Trudy是在正在午(at midday)喝水和吃鸡腿。

6. C。由then可知,Trudy吃喝后又开始游泳了。

7. B。由the sea became rougher(海浪变得更大了)可知风力增强了(动词rise有“增强”之意)。

8. B。由前面的at midday和后面的at seven o’clock可知此时应为late afternoon。

9. C。decide 意为“决定”。此句应为教练所作出的决定

10. C。give up 意为“放弃”。由于风大浪高,不宜游泳。故教练作出决定,要Trudy放弃游泳。

11. B。此句指在这样恶劣的天气状况下,Trudy继续游泳是愚蠢的(stupid)行为,其他选项的形容词的意义均与句意不符。

12. D。Let her go on意为“让她继续游泳”。 Trudy的父亲坚持让Trudy继续游泳,而不让其他跟随游泳的抓住她。

13. D。turn against 意为“转而反对”,这里意为:潮水向Trudy涌来。

14. A。结合后面的信息:海岸已进入视力范围,可知此时Trudy意识到(realize)胜利在望。

15. C。be in sight 意为“被看见”。

16. A。over表示“通过某物传送”。这里指Trudy能够听见由风传送来的岸上的汽车喇叭的欢呼声。

17. D。remaining strength意为“剩余的力气”。

18. C。cross作动词用时意为“渡过、横过”。这里指Trudy横渡了英吉利海峡。

19. A。in spite of 意为“尽管、虽然”,表示让步状语,句意为:尽管狂风暴雨,Trudy还是游过了英吉利海峡。

20. D。guess 意为“猜测、认为、想”。此句意为:我想我这次得到了我的汽车。此车是她父亲曾许诺过的
