根據(jù)下文“due
to
a
shortage
of
lifeguards”可知,因?yàn)槿鄙倬壬鷨T,所以游泳池不得不縮短開放時(shí)間或者關(guān)閉。故選C項(xiàng)。2.D
根據(jù)下文“Gail
officially
started
as
a
part-time
lifeguard
on
May
27.”和“Now,Gail
hopes
her
will
give
others
the
courage
they
need
to
give
lifeguarding
a
chance.”可知,在社區(qū)發(fā)生缺少救生員的情況時(shí),66歲的蓋爾挺身而出,又開始做救生員了。故選D項(xiàng)。
ⅠⅡⅢ3.A
根據(jù)下文“‘It’s
hugely
now,’Gail
said.‘The
lifeguard
back
then
would
sit
in
the
chair
and
might
blow
the
whistle
to
tell
you
to
stop
running
or
so.They
had
no
flotation
device—all
they
was
a
whistle.So
they
were
really
more
police
than
anything
else.’”可知,蓋爾了解到,現(xiàn)在做救生員和過(guò)去相比發(fā)生了很大的變化。故選A項(xiàng)。
4.C
根據(jù)下文“‘The
lifeguard
back
then
would
sit
in
the
chair
and
might
blow
the
whistle
to
tell
you
to
stop
running
or
so.They
had
no
flotation
device—all
they
was
a
whistle.So
they
were
really
more
police
than
anything
else.’”可知,現(xiàn)在和以前做救生員的情況不一樣了。故選C項(xiàng)。
5.D
根據(jù)下文“So
they
were
really
more
police
than
anything
else.”可知,警察就是會(huì)時(shí)不時(shí)地吹哨子來(lái)提醒人們不要亂跑。故選D項(xiàng)。ⅠⅡⅢ6.A
根據(jù)下文“was
a
whistle”可知,哨子是救生員所擁有的東西。故選A項(xiàng)。7.A
根據(jù)下文“It
includes
a
300-yard
swim
and
a
brick
at
the
bottom
of
a
pool.”可知,這是做一名救生員需要進(jìn)行的身體素質(zhì)的檢查。故選A項(xiàng)。
8.C
根據(jù)下文“It
includes
a
300-yard
swim
and
a
brick
at
the
bottom
of
a
pool.Still,even
knowing
these
didn’t
stop
Gail.”可知,做一名救生員需要進(jìn)行的體格檢查不是開玩笑的,是需要真本事的。故選C項(xiàng)。
9.B
根據(jù)下文“a
brick
at
the
bottom
of
a
pool”可知,因?yàn)樯w爾要做救生員,就應(yīng)該會(huì)碰到從水里把溺水者撈起來(lái)的情況,所以考試內(nèi)容是從水底撈起一塊磚。故選B項(xiàng)。ⅠⅡⅢ10.D
根據(jù)上文“It
includes
a
300-yard
swim
and
a
brick
at
the
bottom
of
a
pool.”可知,這些內(nèi)容都是介紹做救生員需要進(jìn)行的測(cè)試和要求。故選D項(xiàng)。
11.B
根據(jù)上文“I
went
and
got
the
precertification,and
then
I
went
through
the
full
training”可知,這里是解釋蓋爾重新成為救生員所付出的努力和得到的成果。故選B項(xiàng)。12.C
根據(jù)下文“as
a
part-time
lifeguard”可知,蓋爾正式履行自己作為兼職救生員的職責(zé)。故選C項(xiàng)。ⅠⅡⅢ13.D
根據(jù)下文“more
shifts
when
summer
comes”可知,當(dāng)夏天到來(lái)時(shí),蓋爾應(yīng)該是很可能會(huì)承擔(dān)起更多的責(zé)任,接受更多的輪班。故選D項(xiàng)。14.A
根據(jù)上文“but”可知,上下文是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,上面提到蓋爾夏天會(huì)很忙,所以現(xiàn)在的時(shí)間表應(yīng)該是比較靈活的,不太忙。故選A項(xiàng)。15.B
根據(jù)下文“will
give
others
the
courage
they
need
to
give
lifeguarding
a
chance”可知,作為一名66歲的老人,蓋爾希望自己所做的事情可以給他人勇氣。故選B項(xiàng)。ⅠⅡⅢⅢ.讀后續(xù)寫閱讀下面材料,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫兩段,使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。Itwasadreamborninfire.AndreaPetersonwas5whenshewastrappedontheledge(窗臺(tái))ofaburningbuilding.“Throwthekiddown!”saidoneofthefiremenbelow,whoseeyesarefirmandcourageous,alongwithprofessionalrescuetechniques.Seeingthis,littleAndreajumpedintolifesavingarmsandalife-longambition:Shewantedtofightfiresasherrescuersdid.ⅠⅡⅢShetoldthattothemenwhohadsavedher,andtheylaughednaturallythewaygrown-upsdowhenakidsayshewantstobeanastronautorasportsstar.Butthiswasbackinatimewhenlittlegirlsweren’tevenallowedtofantasize(幻想)aboutsuchgrandgoals.“You’llbeagoodmommy,”thefirementoldher.“You’llbeagoodteacher,maybeyou’llbeanurse,butyoucanneverbeafireman.”ⅠⅡⅢIndeed,lifesidelinedherambitiousdream.Shewasstudyingforadegreeinaviationtechnology(航空科技)andthat’swhereshemetherhusband,Dennis.Unfortunately,Denniswasdiagnosedwithcancer.Petersonspent31yearscaringforthemansheloved,andin2007,whenDenniswasabouttoleave,hewasatpeacebutworriedabouther.“Butwhatareyougoingtodo?”“I’llbefine,”shetoldhim.ⅠⅡⅢAt61,sheattendedacourseforemergencies.Shewentonanambulanceride-alongfromtimetotime.Itturnedouttobealife-and-deathsituation,whichremindedherofthechildhoodexperiencebackinthefire.Everytimeshesawpeoplewhowereinneedweresuccessfullyrescued,Petersonfeltthatlong-agochildhoodcalling.Sheearnedheremergencymedicaltechnicianlicenseandrespondedtofirecallswiththeambulance.ShefoundthatheryearsoftendingtoDennishadpreparedherfordealingwiththevarietyofhurtsandills.Theinsidecallingechoedincreasinglystronger.ⅠⅡⅢ注意:1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右;2.請(qǐng)按如下格式作答。Afterayear,shesignedupforatrainingunitforfirefighters.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Finallycamethewrittenandphysicalfitnesstestday.___________________________________________________
