网友回答
(答案→)C
解析：主要讲述作者和他的朋友在冬天的一个早晨前往大海游泳的故事。
【小题1】C从第二段可知，作者和他的朋友去海边游泳，因此他们谈论的话题是运动，选C。A项和B项与下文无关；play用作名词时，词义是“比赛；游戏；戏剧”，也与下文内容无关。
【小题2】A解释同上。下文可知，作者是去海边游泳，因此，选A。其他三项与下文不符。skating溜冰，滑冰；skiing滑雪（运动）；camping野营，露营
【小题3】B此处是作者劝朋友们去游泳。句意是：游泳很有趣；别人能去，我们为什么不能；而且，游泳使我们更健康。besides而且；此外；specially特别地；专门地；really真正；实在；clearly清楚地；显然地。只有B项符合上下文的连接。
【小题4】 A朋友们都说这真是一个好主意。indeed真正地, (加强语气)确实； fully充分地；完全地；certainly无疑地，确定地；当然地；truly真正；精确地，正确地；词义符合的是A、D两项，但indeed一般放在句尾(放在句首用逗号隔开)，而truly一般放在它修饰的动词前。因此，选A。
【小题5】C上文中提到四个人站在公共汽车站旁，手中拿着包，因此是在等公交车。其他三项不符合。look for 寻找； search for 搜寻；寻找； ask for请求； 要求
【小题6】D从下文第二段第一句“到达沙滩”，可知，我们是在等公交车把我们送到沙滩那儿。sands沙滩；A、B、C项与下文不符。
【小题7】A此处写天冷，甚至是厚外套也不足以保暖。even 甚至，表示递进。yet然而，但是，表转折；just刚才；仅仅。
【小题8】B联系下文，尽管沙滩上一个人也没有，我们也没有感到沮丧。
【小题9】C联系上文，我们没有感到沮丧。相反地，对于只有我们敢挑战这种天气（游泳），我们感到很自豪。excited 感到兴奋的；lonely 孤独的
【小题10】A联系上文，我们很自豪，所以迅速脱了衣服下水。so因此；所以，表因果关系，符合句意。 but和yet 然而，但是，表转折；still 仍然，还是；然而，这三项均不符合。
【小题11】D然而，事情进展的并不顺利。根据句意，选D。smooth平稳的；顺利的，符合句意。right正确的；右边的；合适的。
【小题12】C最后，我们终于下定决心要下水了。根据句意，选C。at last 最后；终于； at first最初；起先； at all完全； 根本；at once 立刻；马上。
【小题13】C我们刚把脚放进去，（结果）却立刻拿了出来。only to do...作结果状语，表示意料之外的结果。
【小题14】D从下文的“we all rushed...”可以看出，我建议大家同时跳进去。因此，选D。one by one一个接一个地； 依次地；one after another一个接一个地；separately分别地；各自地；at the same time同时
【小题15】B我们退后十步，我发出命令，然后大家一起跳。根据句意，选B。give the order 发出命令； mark记号；痕迹；分数。
【小题16】D因为天冷，我刚一入水，就马上起来，冲回到岸上。immediately立刻；马上；nervously 紧张地
【小题17】C据下文可知，朋友们和我一样（马上起来，冲回到岸上）。表示另一主语和……一样，当前面既有肯定又有否定或有两个谓语时，用so it is/was with sb. 或so it is/was the same with sb. 因此，选C。
【小题18】D我们在回家的路上讨论这次难忘的经历。experience 经历；经验；idea主意；想法；experiment试验；实验；chance 机会；可能性。
【小题19】A此处指我们四个人都三天没能上学。attend school 上学；reach 到达；enter 进入。
【小题20】C我们都患了严重的感冒。suffer from患（某种病），遭受（某种病痛）折磨。suffer不与介词by、with、of搭配。
