答案与解析　

语篇解读　危险来临时，Lizzie用自己的生命救了Nancy......

1.running　考查非谓语动词。run与river之间是主谓关系，再结合语境和句子结构可知应用现在分词的一般主动式作后置定语。

2.slipped　考查谓语动词。slipped在此与hit并列作谓语。

3.difficulty　考查名词。介词后应用名词形式，故填difficulty。

4.was rising　考查时态。此处表示水正在上涨，且动作发生在过去，故应用过去进行时态。主语为the water，故填was rising。

5.successfully　考查副词。修饰动词应用副词，故填successfully。

6.to discover　考查固定句式。It takes sb. some time to do sth.表示"某人花......时间做某事"。

7.A　考查冠词。此处表示泛指。helicopter是可数名词，且以辅音音素开头，故应填不定冠词A。

8.where　考查定语从句。先行词是the school gym，非限制性定语从句中缺少的是地点状语，故用where。

9.When　考查连词。两天后，当洪水退去，Nancy立即回到了那块高地。此处应用When来引导时间状语从句。从句谓语动作先于主句谓语动作。

10.to　考查介词。owe...to...表示"欠某人/某物......，把......归功于......"，是固定搭配。

In the library, I found my way into the "Children's Room". I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He
