9.Picture this scene,a 6-year-old girl is alone on a raft,with no lifejacket,200yards from the shore with the winds whipping up the water.She is pointing at her cousins,and yelling out,"They are drowning!"Your eyes scan left only to see a three-year-old above the surface of the water and you realize two hands are holding her up,the hands of 14-year-old Mallory,who is struggling below the surface of the water.
Three seventeen-year-olds from Salt Lake City,Tiana Skeen,Caitlin Caldwell and Jessica Osterloh,were on the lake for fun in the sun at Bear Lake when they heard the cry for help and saw this terrifying scene.The teens witnessed the three young girls in this very dangerous situation.The teens reacted quickly and swam out to save the girls while crying out toward jet skiers and people on the beach for help.Fourteen-year-old Mallory was struggling to hold her little cousin Rylee above water.The teens rescued Rylee just in time but couldn't find Mallory.Meanwhile,6-year-old Sydney was floating away on the raft with no lifejacket.The girls flagged down a jet ski to get her and bring her back to the beach.
The three teen heroines (女英雄) saved the 3-year-old and the 6-year-old,but they feel Mallory is the real heroine,as she held her 3-year-old cousin above the water until the teens were able to rescue Rylee.Mallory was finally found,but she died on the way to the hospital.
Now,the teen heroines strongly remind everyone to wear a life jacket when on the water.

解答 CBD
33.C 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)第二段提到Fourteen-year-old Mallory was struggling to hold her little cousin Rylee above water.可知,她正在努力抓住 Rylee 伸出水面的手,故選C.
34.B判斷推理.在第二段介紹了Fourteen-year-old Mallory was struggling to hold her little cousin Rylee above water.當(dāng)時Mallory努力地拖著Rylee 出水面,以及The teens rescued Rylee just in time but couldn't find Mallory.最后Rylee被營救而沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)Mallory,可知,如果當(dāng)時Mallory穿救生衣的話,她就不會死,故選B.
35.D 主旨大意.根據(jù)全文的介紹可知,本文講述三個青少年救了三個孩子的事情,故選D.
