Ⅰ.阅读理解A

I'd been thinking of taking a course on scuba­diving(水肺潜水)for months, but wasn't sure because I was afraid of snakes! Sea snakes.Just thinking about it made me sick.

But then, I wanted to know why people loved it so much.They all said that under the sea was like a totally different world, yet a beautiful one.And because of that, I decided to take the risk and try to face my fear.

So, after taking a private course from my diving instructor, Mbak Vita，I went to Sepa Island with her, to take the final exam.

First dive, 12 meters in depth.“What am I doing？” I asked myself.“What if something bad happened？” I tried hard not to 　panic　 and told myself to keep a good thought, “It's gonna be a wonderful experience.Just do it！” Then I went down.My heart beat fast and my ears hurt as I went deeper.I followed Vita's instructions closely until I felt comfortable to explore the sea.

Suddenly all around me was green.It felt like I was living in a green world! I saw some corals(珊瑚), big ones, and lots of beautiful fish hiding in the sand.

I was enjoying the beauty all around me when my instructor waved at me with her hand holding a pink flipper(橡胶蹼)．“That flipper looks familiar，” I thought.Yes! That was my flipper! I didn't realize that my right flipper had managed to get away from my right foot!

So, that was the first dive.In total，we dove 5 times in 2 days.We managed to dive up to 18 meters in depth.The next dives were smooth and for sure I didn't lose my flipper! I was so happy to see different types of fish swimming in front of me as if I was invisible(不可见的)．It was indeed so beautiful and peaceful down there.Now I can see why people love diving under the sea.

[语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者第一次下海潜水的经历。

1．A　[细节理解题。由第一段中的“I'd been thinking of taking a course on scuba­diving(水肺潜水)for months, but wasn't sure because I was afraid of snakes！”几个月来，我一直想上水肺潜水课，但是我不确定，因为我怕蛇！可知，作者对于是否参加潜水课程犹豫不定。故选A项。]

2．D　[词句猜测题。由画线词前面作者问自己的问题“What am I doing？(我在干什么？)”和“What if something bad happened？( 如果发生了不好的事情怎么办？)”以及下文中的“keep a good thought(保持良好的心态)”和“Just do it(就这么干吧)”可知，作者内心紧张担忧，但要努力克服这种感觉，给自己加油打气。故选D项。]

3．B　[细节理解题。由第六段中的“I was enjoying the beauty all around me when my instructor waved at me with her hand holding a pink flipper(橡胶蹼)．‘That flipper looks familiar，’I thought.Yes! That was my flipper! I didn't realize that my right flipper had managed to get away from my right foot! So, that was the first dive.”我正在享受我身边的美景时，我的老师向我挥她手中的一个粉红色的橡胶蹼。“那只脚蹼看起来很眼熟。”我想。是的！那是我的脚蹼！我不知道我的右脚蹼已经从我的右脚挣脱开了！这是第一次潜水。可知，作者第一次在海底潜水时，右脚穿的橡胶蹼脱落了。故选B项。]

4．B　[主旨大意题。作者在文章开头两段介绍了学习潜水的原因：想知道为什么许多人喜爱潜水，为海底世界所痴迷。接下来主要讲述了作者参加完潜水课程，进行第一次实地潜水的经历。可知，短文的最佳标题为“我的第一次水肺潜水经历”。故选B项。]

You're at your favorite sporting event, watching your team play their hardest.Then all of a sudden you hear a cheer.This really seems to get the crowd fired up.But does anyone ever stop and think about how much time and effort it takes to be a cheerleader? Do you ever wonder how much sweat and practice go into cheerleaders being out there to cheer on their home team? Do you ever think these cheerleaders really have to have a good memory also? Not only are they athletes, but

they are smart athletes, and the nicest people you will ever meet.Cheerleading is a sport because cheerleaders take part in all kinds of competitions, and there is danger involved(卷入)．

It is not a well­known fact that cheerleaders have to compete in a lot of different competitions.This is something a lot of people think is very easy, but in fact, taking part in the competitions is one of the hardest things that cheerleaders have to do.Competitions take a lot of time and effort.I have been to 37 different cheerleading competitions since the age of five.And in my opinion, competitions require quite a lot of physical and mental effort.

Moreover, there are many dangerous activities involved.Jump is one of the most dangerous things in cheerleading.If you were to come down from the jump incorrectly, you could break a foot，or even a leg.Tumbling(翻腾动作) is another highly risky thing.During tumbling, concussions(脑震荡) may happen when you hit the head on the floor.

I believe that cheerleading is a sport because cheerleaders compete in all kinds of competitions, there are many different skills to learn and master, and it can be a very dangerous sport.So the next time you are at your favorite sporting event listening to the cheers of the crowd, think about the preparation involved in this energetic sport.
