【解析】听力原文:

One of my most interesting experiences was swimming in the Great Salt Lake. The lake covers an area larger than the state of Rhode Island. The surprising fact is that, although the lake is far from any ocean, and although it gets water from rivers which have so little salt that they actually taste sweet, the lake is about six times as salty as the ocean.

For a while I floated around, but soon I wanted to stand. Then, I was surprised. I couldn't stand on the ground! The salty water was very heavy and it was holding me up.

After swimming for a few minutes, I made my next mistake. I opened my eyes under water. I expected that I would feel a little pain when the water got into my eyes, but I wasn't prepared to have that kind of terrible pain. It was so painful that I couldn't keep my eyes open. Of course, that was the last time I tried to swim in the Great Salt Lake. After that experience, I understand why there are no fish in the Great Salt Lake. Fish can't close their eyes!

答案解析:

(1)正确答案为A。根据although the lake is far from any ocean,虽然大盐湖离所有大海都很远。可知,大盐湖离海很远,因此A项正确。

(2)正确答案为C。根据The salty water was very heavy and it was holding me up. 盐水太重了,会把我顶起来。因此可知,说话者无法站立的原因是因为湖水会把他顶起来,因此C项正确。

(3)正确答案为A。根据One of my most interesting experiences was swimming in the Great Salt Lake. 我最有趣的经历之一就是在大盐湖里游泳。可知,说话者认为这次游泳经历很有趣,因此A项正确。
