网友回答
(答案→)D
解析：本文主要介绍了一个任性的女孩，她总是喜欢一意孤行。在一个有暴风雨的日子她不听老人的劝告，执意要去潜水，结果遭遇了危险，好在有老人相救，女孩最终脱离了危险。
【小题1】解析：选D。由第一句可知Diane Ray非常自私且被宠坏了，因此可推断她的父母应该是给她“一切”她想要的东西。
【小题2】解析：选B。设空所在句的句意为“她就会尖叫、踢打并躺在地上蹬腿跺脚”。故选B项，其余三项不合题意。
【小题3】解析：选C。设空所在句的句意为“她的父母总是屈服”。由前文可知她总是发脾气，因此她父母只好屈服。give in意为“屈服”，符合语境。
【小题4】解析：选A。设空所在句的句意为“那就是为什么她穿着昂贵的游泳衣，独自在沙滩上”。此题关键在于对该空后面的对应词swimsuit的理解。
【小题5】解析：选C。设空所在句的句意为“她耍了一个大脾气让父母去买它(游泳衣)”。allow允许；warn警告；get使得；prefer更喜欢。故C项符合语境。
【小题6】解析：选B。设空所在句的句意为“他们(父母)回到海滩房，从她耍脾气中恢复好情绪时，他们告诉她……”。与上下文联系起来可知，父母“恢复”好情绪才能劝说她。故选B。
【小题7】解析：选A。设空所在句的句意为“……独自去潜水太危险了”。由本段第一句中“...why she was alone...”可知答案为A。
【小题8】解析：选D。设空所在句的句意为“你们只是不想让我玩得高兴”。have fun意为“玩得高兴”，故选D。
【小题9】解析：选B。设空所在句的句意为“直到他说话，她才知道有个人在那儿”。由句意可知选B，not...until...意为“直到……才……”，符合语境。
【小题10】解析：选C。老人所说的“你今天不应该游泳”是建议，从倒数第二段最后一句话“Oh，why had she not listened to advice？”也可得出正确答案。
【小题11】解析：选A。由前文所讲的她的性格可知，她应该是说“你少管闲事”。mind one’s own business意为“少管闲事”，符合语境。
【小题12】解析：选B。设空所在句的句意为“‘如果你去那儿，你会后悔的’，那个人在她后面喊”。sorry意为“后悔的”，符合语境。
【小题13】解析：选D。设空所在句的句意为“Diane滑进水里，开心地潜水……”。happily意为“开心地”，符合语境。
【小题14】解析：选B。由上文中“白浪开始卷入”可知“逆着水流游泳已经变得比较困难了”。
【小题15】解析：选A。设空所在句的句意为“海水打在她的脸上，让她难以呼吸”。根据常识可知正确答案是A项。
【小题16】解析：选D。设空所在句的句意为“惊慌中，她开始尖叫”。由前后文可知，她遭遇了危险，应该会大声尖叫。
【小题17】解析：选A。设空所在句的句意为“……她听到一个平静的声音”。由前文可知，老人知道她去游泳了，从后文可知他准备好了船来救她，并且他说希望她已经得到一个教训了，因此老人是有备而来，此刻的声音应该是平静的。
【小题18】解析：选B。有人来相救，应该是感到宽慰。relief意为“宽慰；轻松”，符合语境。注意ease意为“轻松，舒适”，不符合语境。
【小题19】解析：选C。在有风暴的日子来到海上，应该是危险的。
【小题20】解析：选D。由前文提到的老人划船来救她可知，此处应该是把她拖到船的一边。
