本文讲述了作者和自己的家人在新西兰的旅游经历。
【1】
句意：我们周游了一个星期，最后来到了海边的小镇凯库拉。
by the lake在湖边；in the forest在森林里；on the coast在海边；near the river在河附近。根据下文第二段中“see dolphins there”可知，在那里可以看到海豚，由此可见凯库拉小镇在海边。故选C。
【2】
句意：第一天晚上，这里似乎是一个相当无聊的地方，但第二天，我想起了我在报纸上读到的内容——如果你够幸运的话，经常有可能在那里看到海豚！
possible可能的；common普通的；exciting令人激动的；pleasant令人愉快的。根据句中“if you are lucky enough”可知，如果你足够幸运，经常有可能在那里看到海豚。故选A。
【3】
句意：我一直认为凯库拉是我最终实现毕生梦想的地方——和野生海豚一起游泳。
stay停留；swim游泳；chat聊天；beat敲打。根据上文第一段中“a small town on the coast”和句中“with wild dolphins”可知，此处使用swim，因为凯库拉在海边，所以可以和野生海豚一起游泳。故选B。
【4】
句意：但是天空很快就变蓝了，最后我们到达了我们计划去游泳的地方。
Instead代替；Certainly当然；However但是，然而；Finally最终。根据上文中“on a cold, grey day”和句中“the sky soon turned blue”可知，前后是转折关系，此处使用however，即：出发的时候天气寒冷阴沉，但是天空很快就变蓝了。故选C。
【5】
句意：令我惊讶的是，这里离陆地超过40公里！
To my joy使我高兴的是；To my horror让我惊恐的是；To my shame令我感到羞耻的是；To my surprise令我惊讶的是。根据上文第一段中“a small town on the coast”和句中“more than 40 km from land”可知，此处使用To my surprise，表示“凯库拉在海边，但让我感到惊讶的是，它离陆地超过40公里”。故选D。
【6】
句意：在我们的船下面有一百多只海豚正在游泳。
towards朝向；along沿着；under在……下面；against反对。根据下文中“Everywhere I looked, all I could see was dolphins, swimming under me and round me.”可知，在我跳到海里以后，无论我往哪里看，我都能看到海豚，在我身下游来游去，所以此处使用under，表示“在我们的船下面有一百多只海豚正在游泳”。故选C。
【7】
句意：然后我想起向导告诉过我们，在水里发出声音来吸引它们。
understood理解；suggested建议；discovered发现；remembered记起，想起。根据句中“the guide had told us to make sounds in the water to attract them”可知，此处使用remembered，表示“想起了向导告诉过我们的话”。故选D。
【8】
句意：所以我照做了，发出类似的声音，好像它们在试图回应我。
hold握着；answer回应；protect保护；save拯救。根据上文中“make sounds in the water to attract them”和句中“I did and making similar sounds”可知，我按照向导所说的做了，发出类似的声音去吸引海豚，所以此处使用answer，表示“海豚在试图回应我”。故选B。
【9】
句意：这让我意识到这些动物有多聪明、多漂亮啊。
what什么；why为什么；how怎么样；which哪一个。句中smart和beautiful是形容词，此处使用how，构成感叹句，表示“这些动物有多聪明、多漂亮啊”。故选C。
【10】
句意：虽然我玩得很开心，但我很快就离开了水，因为我感到很冷。
Although虽然；Because因为；Unless除非；Whether是否。根据句中“I had enjoyed myself”和“I left the water quickly”可知，此处使用although引导让步状语从句，表示“虽然我玩得很开心，但是我很快离开了水”。故选A。
