解析
通读短文，把握大意：一个寒冷的冬天的下午，罗伯特在过一座桥时，忽听一个小男孩在桥下呼救。罗伯特脱衣下水救小孩，但到最后却发现那是在拍电影，自己做了“好事”，不但没受到赞扬，反而受到责备。
1. B。选 D 显然不行，因为前面说罗伯特往桥下一“看”(looked down at the river below)，其结果不应是“声音”(sounds)；另外按照一般的常识：一个人在一个寒冷的冬天过桥时，他往桥下一看，他所注意的不会是河面上是否有“鱼(fish)”或者“波浪(waves)”，而应是“船(boats)”——河上无船，正说明天气“寒冷”。
2. C。此题选 B 显然不行，因为 towards 意为“朝…”，具有动态性，与语境不合；若选 beyond(在…之外或那边)，与下文的 almost directly below 所表示的语境不合；若选 from 也不行，因为这其实是一个存在句的地点状语，表示位置。
3. A。从上下文看这应是一个存在句，故用there be 句型。
4. D。由于下文有罗伯特“打了个寒颤”这样的语境，所以可以推知这个小孩应该是“没(not)”穿很多衣服。
5. A。这是一个宾语从句前置的句子，正常语序应是：Robert noticed that he was not wearing many clothes. 此题若选 C, D 显然不合语境；若选 B 也不行，因为按照常识，一个桥上的人看一个桥下的人，这个人穿的衣服是多是少，他只能是“注意到(notice)”而不应是“看见(see)”。
6. B。从上文看，罗伯特打了个寒颤就准备继续往前走。然而“就在这时(just then)”，他听到了呼救声。
7. D。此题答案可从语境及语感很容易地推出(注意 come from 意为“来自”)。
8. C。此题 A(on), D(under) 显然不合语境；而 B 虽有些接近语境的要求，但within 表示的“不超过”、“不多于”、“在…里面”等，还是与语境不符合。
9. B。此题选 A、D 均不合语境，因为 his canoe 不可能 running, pulling；选项 C(flowing)意为“流，流动”，也不合语境。
10. A。下文要说罗伯特脱衣下水救人，这当然是说他是一个出色的 swimmer。
11. C。既然是脱衣救人，当然是要“潜入(dive into)”水中。
12. D。这是一个寒冷的冬天的下午，罗伯特现在潜入水中，当然是“寒冷的 (cold)”水使他浑身颤抖。
13. A。请注意语意的转折：虽然冷得发抖,“但(but)”还是没用几分钟就游到了小孩这儿来。
14. C。下水的目的是为了救小孩，当然是要到“小孩(boy)”这儿来。
15. B。水中救人本不是件容易的事，加上这又是一个寒冷的冬天，就更是难上加难，所以这里用 drag 表示“拖”(强调笨重)。
16. D。从语境可显然看出：这里的意思是“就在那时(at that moment)”。
17. C。选项 B(smiling)与下文的“生气(angry)”不符合；选项 D( shouting) 与下文的“默默地(silently)”不符合；选项 A(seeing) 表示的是结果不合语意。
18. A。此处填 C(agreed), D(promised)显然不行，因为上文并没有哪个人叫他往船这边游来，所以这里并不存在“同意(agreed)”或“答应(promised)”的问题。A、B 相比，显然A(decided)更符合语境，因为罗伯特发现桥下有汽艇，且汽艇上人都往他这边看，所以他“决定”(decided)往汽艇这边游来。
19. D。此题若选 B(till) 或C(for)，显然不合语境；选 A(while)虽然与语境有些接近，但由于引导的从句通常要是一个持续性的谓语，而不能是终止性的谓语。
20. B。从语境来看，只有 B(looked) 讲得通，由于罗伯特是在水里，所以他看汽艇上的人，要“抬起头来(looked up)”。
21. D。从下文语境来看：汽艇上的人是在拍电影，现在他们整个下午的工作被罗伯特破坏，所以这些人看起来很“生气”(angry)。
22. A。一个寒冷的冬天的下午，一个落水小孩被救上汽艇，同学们可以很容易地想到：该用毯子把他怎么样呢? 当然是“包(wrapped)”起来。
23. C。小孩被救上汽艇，罗伯特还在水中，此时由于他并不存在生命危险，所以并不需要“救命(save)”，又因为连汽艇还没上来，不存在用毯子“包(wrap)”；至于“感谢(thank)”，从整个语境看那就更谈不上了。
24. B。pull out 在这里指从水里拉出来(即从水里拉到汽艇上来)。
25. C。由于下文说这些人是在拍电影，所以这时罗伯特注意到跟他说话的这个是站在一部大“摄影机(camera)”旁。

Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs. Nantette O’Neill gave an arithmetic ___1___ to our class. When the papers were ___2___ she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the ___3___ mistakes throughout the test.
