【解析】這篇短文中作者主要講述了一位母親河邊奮力從鱷魚口中救兒子的故事，體現(xiàn)了母愛的無私和偉大。

【1】考查上下文語境和名詞辨析。在一個(gè)炎熱的夏天，一個(gè)小孩決定到房子后面的湖里去游泳（swim）。

【2】考查語境。上文說到那是一個(gè)炎熱的夏天，小男孩為了趕快跳進(jìn)涼爽的（cool）湖里，他沖出了家門。

【3】考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。他飛奔到水里，沒有意識(shí)到一只鱷魚正在向岸上游來。forget 忘記； remember 記得； realize意識(shí)到； ignore 忽視。

【4】考查上下文語境。此時(shí)鱷魚是在水中朝著小男孩的方向游，因此是正在向岸邊（shore）游來。

【5】考查動(dòng)詞短語辨析。媽媽在房子里正向窗外看去。look out of the window向窗外看去。 give out 分發(fā)，用完； pick out挑選，辨認(rèn)出； get out出去，泄露。

【6】考查上下文邏輯和連詞的用法。正當(dāng)鱷魚越來越靠近（小男孩），媽媽正看向窗外。as連詞，當(dāng)…時(shí)。

【7】考查副詞詞義辨析。害怕極了，媽媽一邊向兒子大聲（loudly）呼叫著，一邊跑向水里。

【8】考查詞義辨析和上下文。聽到媽媽的呼喊，小孩變得警覺。alarmed 警覺的，驚慌的。

【9】考察形容詞詞義辨析和上下文。根據(jù)下文鱷魚咬傷了小男孩的腿，因此選D。這時(shí)太遲了。小男孩向著媽媽往回游，正當(dāng)他夠到了媽媽，那只鱷魚也夠到（reach）了他。

【10】考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。解析見上。

【11】考查上下文和情境邏輯。鱷魚比媽媽強(qiáng)壯的多（stronger），但是媽媽拼盡全力不放手孩子。

【12】考查上下文和名詞詞義。一個(gè)農(nóng)民恰好開車經(jīng)過，聽到媽媽的尖叫（screams）。

【13】考查上下文語境和動(dòng)詞詞義。農(nóng)民從車上跳下來，瞄準(zhǔn)鱷魚，向它開槍射擊（shot）。

【14】考查副詞詞義和語境邏輯。根據(jù)下文，住了幾周的醫(yī)院，小男孩活了下來（survived），這當(dāng)然是很幸運(yùn)的事。選A。

【15】考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。解析見上。survive 幸存，生還；appear 出現(xiàn)；disappear消失。

【16】考查形容詞詞義辨析。男孩的腿上留下了鱷魚咬過的疤痕，在他的胳膊上也有深深的（deep）抓痕，那是媽媽指甲掐過的痕跡。deep一詞很形象地表述出媽媽在救兒子的時(shí)候拼盡全力。

【17】考查上下文和動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。報(bào)紙記者來采訪（interview）小男孩。doubt懷疑；warn警告。

【18】考查上下文語境和名詞詞義。記者問男孩是否可以讓他看看他腿上的傷疤。

【19】考查上下文語境。小孩向記者說起自己胳膊上的傷疤的時(shí)候，帶著明顯的驕傲（pride），因?yàn)槟鞘菋寢屍疵�保護(hù)他的印記。

【20】考查上下文語境。千鈞一發(fā)之際，媽媽拉住了自己而沒有被鱷魚拖走，展現(xiàn)了媽媽無私無畏的愛。胳膊上的傷疤正是媽媽愛的印記。
