【解析】

本文講述了作者和自己的家人在新西蘭的旅游經(jīng)歷。

【1】

句意：我們周游了一個(gè)星期，最后來到了海邊的小鎮(zhèn)凱庫拉。

by the lake在湖邊；in the forest在森林里；on the coast在海邊；near the river在河附近。根據(jù)下文第二段中“see dolphins there”可知，在那里可以看到海豚，由此可見凱庫拉小鎮(zhèn)在海邊。故選C。

【2】

句意：第一天晚上，這里似乎是一個(gè)相當(dāng)無聊的地方，但第二天，我想起了我在報(bào)紙上讀到的內(nèi)容——如果你夠幸運(yùn)的話，經(jīng)常有可能在那里看到海豚！

possible可能的；common普通的；exciting令人激動的；pleasant令人愉快的。根據(jù)句中“if you are lucky enough”可知，如果你足夠幸運(yùn)，經(jīng)常有可能在那里看到海豚。故選A。

【3】

句意：我一直認(rèn)為凱庫拉是我最終實(shí)現(xiàn)畢生夢想的地方——和野生海豚一起游泳。

stay停留；swim游泳；chat聊天；beat敲打。根據(jù)上文第一段中“a small town on the coast”和句中“with wild dolphins”可知，此處使用swim，因?yàn)閯P庫拉在海邊，所以可以和野生海豚一起游泳。故選B。

【4】

句意：但是天空很快就變藍(lán)了，最后我們到達(dá)了我們計(jì)劃去游泳的地方。

Instead代替；Certainly當(dāng)然；However但是，然而；Finally最終。根據(jù)上文中“on a cold, grey day”和句中“the sky soon turned blue”可知，前后是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，此處使用however，即：出發(fā)的時(shí)候天氣寒冷陰沉，但是天空很快就變藍(lán)了。故選C。

【5】

句意：令我驚訝的是，這里離陸地超過40公里！

To my joy使我高興的是；To my horror讓我驚恐的是；To my shame令我感到羞恥的是；To my surprise令我驚訝的是。根據(jù)上文第一段中“a small town on the coast”和句中“more than 40 km from land”可知，此處使用To my surprise，表示“凱庫拉在海邊，但讓我感到驚訝的是，它離陸地超過40公里”。故選D。

【6】

句意：在我們的船下面有一百多只海豚正在游泳。

towards朝向；along沿著；under在……下面；against反對。根據(jù)下文中“Everywhere I looked, all I could see was dolphins, swimming under me and round me.”可知，在我跳到海里以后，無論我往哪里看，我都能看到海豚，在我身下游來游去，所以此處使用under，表示“在我們的船下面有一百多只海豚正在游泳”。故選C。

【7】

句意：然后我想起向?qū)Ц嬖V過我們，在水里發(fā)出聲音來吸引它們。

understood理解；suggested建議；discovered發(fā)現(xiàn)；remembered記起，想起。根據(jù)句中“the guide had told us to make sounds in the water to attract them”可知，此處使用remembered，表示“想起了向?qū)Ц嬖V過我們的話”。故選D。

【8】

句意：所以我照做了，發(fā)出類似的聲音，好像它們在試圖回應(yīng)我。

hold握著；answer回應(yīng)；protect保護(hù)；save拯救。根據(jù)上文中“make sounds in the water to attract them”和句中“I did and making similar sounds”可知，我按照向?qū)�所說的做了，發(fā)出類似的聲音去吸引海豚，所以此處使用answer，表示“海豚在試圖回應(yīng)我”。故選B。

【9】

句意：這讓我意識到這些動物有多聰明、多漂亮啊。

what什么；why為什么；how怎么樣；which哪一個(gè)。句中smart和beautiful是形容詞，此處使用how，構(gòu)成感嘆句，表示“這些動物有多聰明、多漂亮啊”。故選C。

【10】

句意：雖然我玩得很開心，但我很快就離開了水，因?yàn)槲腋械胶芾洹?/span>

Although雖然；Because因?yàn)椋?/span>Unless除非；Whether是否。根據(jù)句中“I had enjoyed myself”和“I left the water quickly”可知，此處使用although引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句，表示“雖然我玩得很開心，但是我很快離開了水”。故選A。
