【解析】

試題分析：短文大意：本篇短文是一則寓言故事，兩只掉在深洞里的青蛙，一只聽說了根本出不來，一時失望掉在里面摔死了，而另一只呢？卻把別人的話語當成了鼓勵與鞭策，堅持不懈地努力，最終取得了勝利，這就教育我們：同樣是別人的語言，你當成鼓勵可以幫助你，否則完全也可以害死你。

1.當其他的青蛙看到這洞是多么深時，他們告訴那兩只青蛙他們和死了一樣。Wet濕的； round圓的；far遠的； deep深的。通讀全文，尤其后面的“不能挽救”和jump up以及掉下去就摔死，更能體現是太“深”了。所以選D。

2.這兩只青蛙沒有聽到他們說的，試圖盡他們所有的可能跳出來。listen to聽； look forward to期待； move to移到； turn to轉向。根據并列成分and tried to jump out of the hole with all their might.可推知此處是說這兩只青蛙沒有聽他們說，所以選A。

3.其他的青蛙一直對他們說停止吧。Leave離開；jump跳；try嘗試；stop停止。根據前文they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead.可推知此句是說其他的青蛙一直對他們說停止吧，所以選D。

4.最后，其中一只相信了那些青蛙的話，放棄了。broke up分手，解散，結束（break up 的變形）; showed up出現；gave up 放棄；looked up向上看。其中一只聽到其他青蛙的話，相信了那些青蛙的話即了解了事實，自然就“放棄”，所以選C。

5.另一只青蛙繼續盡他的努力跳。fast 快的； far 遠的； gladly高興地； hard努力地。根據句意可知該選D。

6.他卻跳得更有勁了最后他出來了。Quickly迅速地；.Finally最后； slowly慢慢地；possibly可能地。根據He jumped even harder 結合語境可推知該選B。

7.你沒有聽見我們說嗎？hear 聽見；see 看見；need 需要；Know知道。根據前文描述及語境可知該選A。

8.這只青蛙向他們解釋了他是聾子。cheerful歡樂的，高興的；great很好；deaf聾的；surprised驚奇的。由上文的沒聽見也可以知道是它的“聽力”hearing差。所以選C。

9.他認為他們一直在鼓勵他。 Laughing笑；greeting 問候；frightening令人恐懼的；encouraging鼓勵。根據句意可知該選D。

10.這個故事給了我們兩個教訓。example例子; 榜樣；lessons課，教訓；sayings 諺語； ways方式，方法。考查詞組teach sb a lesson“給某人以教訓，給某人上了一課”。所以選B。

11.話語中有生命與死亡的力量。 Lies謊言；stories 故事；words話語； books書。根據后文An encouraging word to someone who is___ can lift him /her up and help him/her make it__ the day.A destructive(破壞性的) word to someone who is unhappy can be what it takes to __ them.可知該選C。

12.一句鼓勵的話可以讓消沉的人鼓起生活的勇氣。down向下的; 沮喪的; relaxed輕松的； bored 無聊的；angry生氣的。根據can lift him /her up 可知該選A。

13.幫助他度過那消沉的日子。On在……上； around在周圍；into 進入； through通過，穿過。和后面的discouraging相對應，所以這里是說鼓勵的話語可以使人脫離困難�？赏浦�該選D。

14.對不開心的人的一句破壞性的話可讓他們自殺。Help幫助； kill 殺死； surprise 驚奇； hurt傷害。與上文An encouraging word to someone who is___ can lift him /her up and help him/her make it__ the day.相對應，所以選B。

15.有時很難理解一句鼓勵的話會有這么長的路。 Easy容易的；strange 陌生的，奇怪的；hard努力地；surprising令人驚奇的。結合整篇短文內容可知該選C。

考點：故事類短文。
