1.A选项意为“跳过”；B选项意为“并驾齐驱；赶上；跟上”；C选项意为“下来；下降；败落”；D选项意为“围拢；集合”。文中前两句意为：“一群青蛙正穿越森林，突然其中两只青蛙掉进了一口深坑。所有其他青蛙就围在坑周围。”故D正确。
2.根据上文deep pit可知B正确。
3.根据四个选项的词义以及上下文可知：这两只青蛙可能会死。B选项意为“困惑的；糊涂的”。故A正确。
4.A选项意为“容许；承认；忍受；容忍”；B选项意为“明白；理解”；C选项为“不顾；不理睬”；D选项意为“确认；批准；证实”。
5.此句意为：“那两只青蛙没有理会其他青蛙所说的话，而是竭尽全力想跳出这个坑。”A项promise to do sth.“答应做某事”；B项try to do sth.“尽力做某事（但不一定成功）”；C项manage to do sth. “设法做成某事”；D项agree to do sth.“同意做某事”。故B正确。
6.此句意为：“其他青蛙不停地劝他们别再白费力气了。”keep doing sth.“不停的做某事”。故A正确。
7.A项意为“不辜负；达到高标准；履行”；B项意为“注意；留意；重视”；C项意为“习惯于”；D项意为“推动；推进”。此句意为：“其中一只青蛙听从了那些青蛙的话，慎重考虑了他们的意见，最后放弃了。”故B正确。
8.此句意为：“他倒下去死掉了。”fall down “倒下”。故D正确。
9.此句意为：“另一只青蛙继续使劲地跳。”as hard as he could意为“使劲地；拼命地”。故C正确。

11.此句意为：“他跳得更加使劲，最终跳出了坑。”此处的made it是指“成功”的意思。其余选项均无此意。故D正确。

17.此句意为：“一句诋毁的话，对于沮丧的人来说，可能会要他们的命。”what具有双重语法功能，即既引导表语从句，又作takes的宾语。其他选项均无此功能。故D正确。
