B　本句提到机场，下一句说到登机，可见是作者arrived “到达”机场。‎ ‎2. A　一共是4个人高空跳伞。根据I should exit first可知是其余3个人follow “接着跳”。 escape“逃跑”。‎ ‎3. D　根据上文的indicated获得信息。事后才知道这个decision “决定”救了“我”一命。trouble“麻烦”；effort“努力”； chance“机会”。‎ ‎4. A　作者另一只腿出来后，降落伞卡住了，但由于气流太强，作者sliding down“沿着飞机机身朝机尾滑去”。 knock over“撞击”； crash into “撞碎”；break down“崩溃”。‎ ‎5. B　与后面的legs相对应。‎ ‎6. D　作者一点都不慌，后面陈述了理由。calm “冷静的”符合题意。frightened“恐惧的”； anxious“紧张的”； excited“兴奋的”。‎ ‎7. D　至此，作者得救了。下文中有作者挥手致意的描述。finally有历尽千辛万苦最后达到结果之意。其他几个选项没有这个意义。really “真正地”；hopefully“有希望地”； certainly“肯定地”。‎ ‎8. D　从此句起，作者就开始了大量的议论，进行了一系列的假设，说明当时的情况是非常严重，只要一步走错，他就没命了。serious“严重的”符合题意。 funny“好笑的”；ordinary“正常的”；clear“清楚的”。 ‎ ‎9. A　见上一题的解析。laugh“笑”；stop“停止”；return“返回”。‎ ‎10. C　如果作者是最后一个出飞机的，当然飞机上就只剩下飞行员了。他一个人是不可能解救作者的。即使他知道“我”attached“附”在飞机之下，最后还是不得不找个地方降落。cover“覆盖”；adjust“调整”；connect“连接”。‎ ‎11. C　根据下文的joy可知答案。excitement“兴奋，刺激”； pride“骄傲，自豪”‎ ‎；confidence“信心”；willingness“愿意，意愿”。‎ ‎12. B　但要experience“经历”这种快乐，就必须了解一出错，结果通常就只有一种。observe“观察”； imagine“想象”；discover“发现”。 ‎ ‎(2)‎ 本文记叙了作者帮助一个女人和几个小孩子的故事。‎ ‎1. A　根据第一段的this freezing evening可知作者是要找一个warm “暖和”的地方。‎ ‎2. D　根据前面可知作者是想打电话叫拖车，故选call。preparation“准备”； decision“决定”； bill“账单”。‎ ‎3. B　空后有“摔倒在油管上”，可见她是在雪上slipped “滑了一跤”。‎ ‎4. C　作者跑上前去想帮一把。结果发现与其说她fallen “摔倒了”感到痛苦，倒不如说她在忍住啜泣更加难过。estimate“估算，评估”。‎ ‎5. B　根据空前worn out“筋疲力尽”可知答案。‎ ‎6. D　呼应前面的sobs。不想让孩子们看到她在crying “哭泣”。‎ ‎7. C　根据上一句的her car获得信息。‎ ‎8. A　对现在的她来说，自己摔了一跤还筋疲力尽，可见情况非常rough “糟糕”。 typical “典型的”；sharp“锋利的”；tight“紧的”。‎ ‎9. D　根据上一句“这使她倒退了好几步”，说明她对作者有防范。空后提到“我不是一个疯子”，这句话是作者试图解释前面的话，让她放心。convince“使信服”符合题意。astonish“惊奇”；approve“赞成”。‎ ‎10. C　从空后的card reader可知此处指“卡”card。‎ ‎11. B　加油就是把油fill up “灌满”汽车。start out“发动，启程”；pull up“停车”； get over“克服”。‎ ‎12. A　根据第6空前的提示可知。‎ ‎(3)‎ ‎1. C　该空填名词，意为“地位的提高、提升”，用rise。‎ ‎2. C　表方式，由句子含义决定，作者在考上大学之后，家里任何事情都依着他。‎ ‎3. C　根据上下文，作者挥霍无度，且为不良习惯，下文有提示。‎ ‎4. D　at ease 自由自在地。‎ ‎5. A　hardly…when…一……就……‎ ‎6. D　pick…out此句意为“抽出一支烟”。‎ ‎7. B　keep one's promise 履行诺言。‎ ‎8. C　mean to do sth.想要、打算做某事。‎ ‎9. B　think认为……，心里想。作者始终认为父亲说戒烟只是停留在嘴上。‎ ‎10. C　stare at…表示作者对此感到很吃惊。‎ ‎11. B　由句子含义决定，父亲额头上的皱纹比作者想象的要多。‎ ‎12. A　angered “恼火”，从后一句中可以看出，父亲是一位很坚强的人，从不哭泣。因此，作者怕父亲生气，尽力不让眼泪流出。‎
