(答案→)1-5DBDCA 6-10CBBCC 11-15BDDAC 16-20ADCAD 解析：1. D。promise 意为“答应、许诺”。此句意为：Trudy的父亲曾答应过两件事。2. B。unless意为“如果不”。3. D。由短文最后一句可知Trudy的父亲答应过另一件东西是car。4. C。start out意为“起程、着手进行”，现在分词短语swimming strongly作状语，补充说明了start out所做的具体事情。5. A。上文提到了在上午7点09分开始游泳，在10点开始下雨，可推知Trudy是在正在午(at midday)喝水和吃鸡腿。6. C。由then可知，Trudy吃喝后又开始游泳了。7. B。由the sea became rougher(海浪变得更大了)可知风力增强了(动词rise有“增强”之意)。8. B。由前面的at midday和后面的at seven o’clock可知此时应为late afternoon。9. C。decide 意为“决定”。此句应为教练所作出的决定10. C。give up 意为“放弃”。由于风大浪高，不宜游泳。故教练作出决定，要Trudy放弃游泳。11. B。此句指在这样恶劣的天气状况下，Trudy继续游泳是愚蠢的(stupid)行为，其他选项的形容词的意义均与句意不符。12. D。Let her go on意为“让她继续游泳”。 Trudy的父亲坚持让Trudy继续游泳，而不让其他跟随游泳的抓住她。13. D。turn against 意为“转而反对”，这里意为：潮水向Trudy涌来。14. A。结合后面的信息：海岸已进入视力范围，可知此时Trudy意识到(realize)胜利在望。15. C。be in sight 意为“被看见”。16. A。over表示“通过某物传送”。这里指Trudy能够听见由风传送来的岸上的汽车喇叭的欢呼声。17. D。remaining strength意为“剩余的力气”。18. C。cross作动词用时意为“渡过、横过”。这里指Trudy横渡了英吉利海峡。19. A。in spite of 意为“尽管、虽然”，表示让步状语，句意为：尽管狂风暴雨，Trudy还是游过了英吉利海峡。20. D。guess 意为“猜测、认为、想”。此句意为：我想我这次得到了我的汽车。此车是她父亲曾许诺过的
