Question

【題目】 Summer is here. One of the best ways to cool off on a hot summer day is to jump into a swimming pool. Swimming is great exercise, and a trip to a pool or beach is a good way to have fun with friends.【1】, so it’s important to stay safe as you do it. Here are a few things you can do to swim safely.

Swim only in areas set for swimming.

Don’t swim unless there is a lifeguard（救生員）on duty. If you’re on a beach near the ocean, this is especially important. In some places, fast currents（急流）can sweep swimmers away without warning. So if a sign says “no swimming”, please take care.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】E

【3】D

【4】B

【解析】

短文介紹了游泳時需要注意的一些安全常識。第一，只能在適合游泳的地方游泳，不要去陌生水域游泳。第二，頭朝下潛水時一定在深水區(qū)，否則會傷害到自己。第三，不要獨自一人去游泳，遇到危險會有人相救。第四，關注兒童游泳安全問題。兒童學游泳要用家人相伴，家庭游泳池周圍要有護欄。

【1】句意：但是游泳也有危險。根據(jù)后面的句子“so it’s important to stay safe as you do it.”可知，游泳的時候安全是非常重要的。因此前一句說游泳也會有危險，故答案為C。

【2】句意：否則你的頭會撞到底部。根據(jù)前面的句子“In natural water, don’t dive unless you know that the water is deep enough.”可知，在自然水域，在你不知道水深時不要潛水。此句是說如果這樣做了會產(chǎn)生的后果，故答案為E。

【3】句意：幾秒鐘的時間就會產(chǎn)生重大作用。本段主要強調(diào)游泳時確保有一個搭檔，遇到危險及時向搭檔求救，在這種危險的時刻，幾秒鐘的時間也很重要，對生與死也會產(chǎn)生巨大的影響，故答案為D。

【4】句意：所以成年人應該一直在現(xiàn)場。根據(jù)前面的句子“Kids who don’t know how to swim should wear life jackets. But by themselves they are not enough,”不會游泳的孩子應該穿救生衣。但如果是他們自己游泳，救生衣是遠遠不夠的，因此本句是強調(diào)在孩子學習游泳時，需要大人時刻在身邊保護，故答案為B。
