Question

In your life, you may have many unforgettable events like wining a prize, going aboard ……1.

I was always dreaming of swimming like a fish! At that time, I was so jealous when I saw people swimming. 2.Later, one summer afternoon, I followed my school buddies to a river, accompanied by my brother. I remember how eagerly I kicked off my shoes and jumped into the cool water. Truthfully, I was not sure what to do but struggle in the water. Luckily, a young swimmer nearby happened to find me and soon I was pulled out. Being out of water, I felt I was transported to the wonder world. Realizing that I was safe and well, I burst into tears.

3. I went for another try with my brother. But I feared that I would never become a good swimmer. I stepped carefully into the swimming pool but when the water came up to my stomach, I lost my balance again and fell into the water. I found myself further away from my brother than I thought. The king of Terror was approaching! Desperately, I kept my eyes wide open and tried to seize my brother by the arm, once, twice, three times….I was shouting and waving my arms exhaustedly. At last, my brother was able to reach out his hand to touch me. I got saved again.

4. But motivated by the desire to swim, I made my third attempt.. I felt my legs paralyzed(瘫痪) on the bank when I faced the big swimming pool. Watching the happy swimmers in the water, I was inspired. Why not have a last try? I took a deep breath and confidently went forward. As I was going deeper into the water, I made great efforts to control my thoughts, so I could keep the balance. 5.I was able to swim! Yes, I was able to swim! All of a sudden , a feeling of satisfaction was running high.

【解析】

本文为记叙文。本文叙述作者最难忘的事情就是不寻常的游泳经历。由于梦想像鱼一样游泳。作者虽然经历了两次差点被淹死的游泳经历，出于对游泳的渴望，最终学会了游泳。说明了只要坚持一定能做到。

1.考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。第一段“In your life, you may have many unforgettable events like wining a prize, going”。可知，每个人都有难忘的事情。分析选项A“But for me, the most unusual event is learning how to swim.”可知，最不寻常的，即是难忘的。意义一致。通读全文可知，作者下文描述的是自己不寻常的游泳经历。分析选项可知A（最不寻常的事情就是学会游泳），与此处意义一致，故选A。

2.考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据空格前的“I was always dreaming of swimming like a fish! At that time, I was so jealous when I saw people swimming.” 可知，“我”一直梦想着像条鱼一样游泳！当“我”看到人们游泳时，非常羡慕。以及下文作者努力学习游泳的事，可推断出作者渴望有一天会游泳。分析选项E（我告诉自己有一天我会成为他们中的一员。）符合题意，故选E。

3.考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。上文叙述作者梦想有一天能像鱼一样游泳，但由于太心急掉进水中差点淹死，却没有屈服。空格后“I went for another try with my brother.”我和哥哥又去了。由此可知，作者从没停止实现游泳的梦想。分析选项可知D（总之，我的梦想从未结束）符合题意，故选D。

4.考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据空后的内容“But motivated by the desire to swim, I made my third attempt” 但出于游泳的欲望，我做了第三次游泳尝试。这儿出现了“my third attempt”可知，对应了B项中的“two unpleasant experiences.”“but”为转折连词，可知前面有两次不愉快的经历，就再不去游泳了，与But后的意思相反。分析选项，可知B（两次不愉快的经历之后，我再也不会去游泳了）与此空意义一致。放入句中验证，句意为“两次不愉快的经历之后，我再也不会去游泳了，但是出于游泳的欲望，我第三次尝试游泳”，语意通顺。故选B。

5.考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据空后的“I was able to swim! Yes, I was able to swim!”可知作者对于自己会游泳感到惊讶。分析选项可知F（令我惊讶的是，我做到了！）符合题意，故选F。
