试题分析：短文大意：这篇短文主要介绍了张建是的第一个穿越英吉利海峡的中国人，他显示了我们中国人的勇气和志气。

【1】填空题。根据句意因为它是最难穿越的海峡之一，所以填写most difficult（channels）。

【2】根据句意他从莎士比亚海滩进入海，A lot of people were waiting for him on the beach许多人们正在沙滩上等他们，a lot of="many" 表示许多。故答案是walked; Many 。

【3】同义词组。Zhang swam freestyle to save energy,too在这里是动词不定式表目的="so" that 故答案so that

【4】 汉译英。根据句意故答案是swam together with him

【5】回答问题。通读全文可知本文主要是是介绍他曾是第一个穿越英吉利海峡的中国人，故答案是The first Chinese ever to cross the English Channel.
