frogs they would never get out.
The two frogs didn’t obey what other frogs said and tried to

out of the pit.The other frogs kept telling them not to jump,
30
it was in vain.Finally, one of the frogs followed what the other frogs were saying and simply 31 .He fell down and
32 .The other frog continued to jump as
33
as he could.Once again the crowd of frogs shouted at him to

21.D由第一句话知“如果你是人,你不得不体会到每件事情好象是错误的时候。”接下来,说到你一定也……,从选项分析,seem与feel后可接as if ,但seem as if的主语常是it。因此,答案为D项。
22.C由本句中可以看出,鼓励性的语言能够增强你的精神,无论是来自家人,朋友,同事 或……陌生人,应为递进关系,因此,选择C项适合。
23.B由上文的 “It is during those “down times” that words of encouragement from family, friends,...”可以猜测出来。
24.A由下文的 “All of the other frogs gathered around the...”可知,一群青蛙正穿过树林。因此,答案为A项。
25.A由下文的 “...the two ...frogs they would never get out.”可知,掉进坑里的是两只青蛙。
26.B由下文的 “...them fell into a deep pit (坑).”可知。
27.C由下文的 “...they would never get out.”可知,坑是非常深的,所以其他的青蛙说他们将从不会出来。
28.D因青蛙掉进了深坑,所以是两支不幸的青蛙。
29.D由下文的 “The other frogs kept telling them not to jump,...”可知,两只进坑的青蛙尽力地想从坑中跳出来。
30.C其他的青蛙让他们不要跳,与下文的 “...it was in vain.”可知是因果关系,因此,答案为C项。
31.B由上文知,其它的青蛙不让他们跳,又由 “Finally, one of the frogs followed what the other frogs were saying ...”以及”He fell down...”可知,一只青蛙放弃了。因此,答案为B项。give out分发,用完;give away赠送,泄露,抛弃;give off
发出,散发出。
32.A因为坑深,这只青蛙放弃了且掉下去了,那就死了。
33.B由下文的 “...the harder he jumped...”可知。jump as hard as he could.尽可能努力地跳。
34.C由 “The other frogs kept telling them not to jump...”及本句中的once again可知,其他的青蛙让他停下来。
35.C由上文的 “Once again the crowd of frogs shouted at him...”可知。
36.D其他的青蛙喊得越利害,他跳得越努力并且最终他成功地到安全地了。Make it成功;get it理解,明白;forget it没关系;use it使用它。
37.C青蛙出来后,其他的青蛙问他……。get out出来;keep out留在外面,扣留;turn out关灯,制造;结果是,原来是;hold out伸出,坚持。
38.B由上文的 “Once again the crowd of frogs shouted at him...”可知。throw at投向,掷向;speak to对……讲;talk to
