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(kāi)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(kāi)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(kāi)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(xiě)閱讀下面材料,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫(xiě)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(xiě)詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右;2.請(qǐng)按如下格式作答。Afterayear,shesignedupforatrainingunitforfirefighters.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Finallycamethewrittenandphysicalfitnesstestday._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ⅠⅡⅢAfter
