In my mind,the effect that experience had on me lasted forever.I was determined to learn swimming at the age of ten.There was a pool,at the K.P.L.B.,offering the opportunity.My mother constantly warned against it,and bore fresh in my mind the details of each drowning in the river.But the K.P.L.B.pool was safe.
My fear of water started from childhood.It began when I was four years old and father took me to the beach.There the huge waves knocked me down and swept over me.
The K.P.L.B.pool was quiet.I was afraid of going in all alone,so I sat on the side of the pool to wait for others.Then came a big boy.He yelled,“Hi,Skinny!How'd you like to be ducked?” With that he picked me up and threw me into the deep end.I landed in a sitting position,and swallowed water.But I was not frightened out of my wits—when my feet hit the bottom,I would make a big jump,come out of the surface.It seemed a long way down.I gathered all my strength when I landed and made what I thought was a great spring upwards.Then I opened my eyes and saw nothing but water.I tried to yell but no sound came out.I went down,down,endlessly.When I came to consciousness,I found myself on the bed in the hospital.
I never went back to the pool.I avoided water whenever I could.This misadventure stayed with me as the years rolled by.It deprived me of the joy of boating and swimming.Finally,I decided to get an instructor.Piece by piece,I practiced hard and finally he built a swimmer.Several months later,the instruction was finished,but I was not.Sometimes the terror would return.
This went on till July.I swam across the Lake Wentworth.Only once did the terror return.When I was in the middle of the lake,I put my face under and saw nothing but bottomless water.I laughed and said,“Well,Mr.Terror,what do you think you can do to me?”
I had conquered my fear of water.

B.An experience at the beach affected him.
C.He had an unpleasant memory of the pool at the age of four.
D.His mother warned him about the danger of being drowned.
5.What can we learn about the author's experience in the K.P.L.B.pool?
A.The experience made him aware that the pool was safe.
B.The big boy eagerly helped him conquer the fear of water.
C.When thrown into water,he knew someone would save him.
D.While he had no skill in swimming,he struggled to go upwards.
6.Which of the following can be used to describe the author?
A.Diligent and cautious.
B.Determined and grateful.
C.Dependable and adaptable.
D.Humorous and courageous.
7.What does the author try to tell us?
A.A fall into a pit,a gain in your wit.
B.Do one thing at a time,and do well.
C.Deed divides beings into lower and higher ones.
D.Success always comes from daring to challenge.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从怕水到学会游泳的故事。
4.B [解析]细节理解题。根据第二段可知,作者怕水是因为四岁时,爸爸带他去海滩,在那里他被巨浪击倒了,留下了心理阴影。由此可知,作者最初对水的恐惧是由他和父亲去海滩游玩引起的。故选B。
5.D [解析]细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But I was not frightened out of my wits—when my feet hit the bottom,I would make a big jump,come out of the surface.”可知,当作者被扔到水里时,尽管脚触底了,但作者没有吓得发疯,因为他想自己可以用力一跳,这样就可以跳出水面了。由此可知,作者被扔进水里时虽然不会游泳,但他在努力向水面游。故选D。
6.A [解析]推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的“I never went back to the pool.I avoided water whenever I could.”可知,当作者在水里发生意外后,他再也没回过游泳池,尽量避免接触水。由此可知,作者是个谨慎的人;根据倒数第三段中的“Finally,I decided to get an instructor.Piece by piece,I practiced hard and finally he built a swimmer.”可知,为了克服恐惧,学会游泳,作者找了一个教练教自己,并且不断地努力练习,最终学会了游泳。由此可知,作者是个勤奋的人。故选A。
7.D [解析]推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,作者最终战胜对水的恐惧,能够自由游泳了。因此他想用自己的经历告诉我们只有敢于面对挑战,才能获得最后的成功。故选D。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一名被27所大学录取、前途一片光明的高中毕业生Jonathan Walker的相关情况。
1.offering [解析]考查非谓语动词。句意:佛罗里达州一名高中毕业生被27所大学录取,共获得400万美元的奖学金,他的未来看起来很光明。分析句子结构可知,空处作非谓语动词,offer与逻辑主语colleges之间是主动关系,应用现在分词形式offering,作后置定语。故填offering。
2.to attend [解析]考查非谓语动词。句意:对于在巴拿马城上高中的乔纳森·沃克来说,下一个挑战将是选择上哪所学校。分析句子结构可知,空处应用动词不定式,构成“疑问词+to do”结构,作动词choosing的宾语。故填to attend。
