A
(2024·武汉中考)The silence of the pond was broken by the first cry："Found something!" A swimmer ducked(扎入)into the water with a lifeline connected to a boat. Soon，she appeared，holding a bright blue glass bottle. It was passed to
another，then into the boat.
On a fine Sunday morning in May，a team of 10 women over 65 years old，known as the Old Women Against Underwater Rubbish(OWAUR)，looked for rubbish across Nova Pond in Scotia.
When the team returned，they joked about the trip. "We didn't even know what it was，" one swimmer said with a laugh，showing an electronic lighter they had found. "We had to ask a young person."
Part protection organization，part social club，OWAUR only accepted old women as its members. To improve the conditions of the ponds，the group made it its mission to take rubbish away from them. The idea of this group was from a moment of Sandy，a retired reporter. As a lifelong nature lover，she liked swimming in ponds. However，the world of the pond，which was a little polluted，made her anxious. Then she came up with a slogan：
"OVER 65，IF YOU'RE HEALTHY ENOUGH，IS THE AGE OF ACTION."
Soon many people joined her. They found a sense of wonder at the pond clean-up moments. And their team could do a lot more than people might think.
When many people thanked OWAUR for what they had done，some questioned why they called themselves "old women". "You should call yourselves the Mermaids(美人鱼)Against Underwater Rubbish，" they said.

【分析】
1. 第1题是代词指代题，解题时需回到原文定位相关语句，根据前文提到的“A swimmer ducked into the water...”以及“she appeared, holding a bright blue glass bottle”，可知此处的“another”是指代前文出现的同类人物，也就是另一名游泳者，结合语境可确定答案。
2. 第2题是推理判断题，要找到文中描述团队清理垃圾时的状态和能力的语句，根据“They found a sense of wonder at the pond clean-up moments. And their team could do a lot more than people might think”，可以推断出这个团队在清理垃圾的过程中找到了乐趣，并且完成的效果超出人们预期，由此得出答案。
3. 第3题是推理判断题，根据文中人们的建议“You should call yourselves the Mermaids(美人鱼)Against Underwater Rubbish”，结合她们自称“old women”的对比，可推断出人们认为这些老年女性像美人鱼一样年轻美丽，不应该用“老妇人”称呼她们，进而得出答案。
4. 第4题是标题归纳题，需通读全文，文章开篇从游泳者扎入水中找垃圾的场景切入，围绕这个老年女性清理团队展开介绍，“A Ducking Moment”既呼应了文章开头的关键场景，也能体现团队的核心行动，相比其他选项更贴合文章主旨。
【解析】
1. B 解析：代词指代题。根据“Soon, she appeared, holding a bright blue glass bottle. It was passed to another, then into the boat.”可知，一位游泳者浮出水面拿着亮蓝色玻璃瓶，瓶子被传给另一个人后再放到船上，故此处“another”指代另一位游泳者。故选B。
2. A 解析：推理判断题。根据“They found a sense of wonder at the pond clean-up moments. And their team could do a lot more than people might think.”可知，队员们在清理池塘的过程中感受到了乐趣，并且团队的能力超出人们的预期，说明这个组织在清理垃圾的过程中找到了兴趣，并且做得很出色。故选A。
3. D 解析：推理判断题。根据“some questioned why they called themselves ‘old women’. ‘You should call yourselves the Mermaids(美人鱼)Against Underwater Rubbish,’ they said”可知，人们不认同她们自称“老妇人”，建议她们叫“美人鱼”，由此可推知人们认为这些老年女性像美人鱼一样年轻美丽。故选D。
4. C 解析：标题归纳题。本文围绕由10名65岁以上女性组成的水下垃圾清理团队展开，文章开篇以游泳者扎入水中找垃圾的场景引入，“A Ducking Moment”既呼应了开篇的关键场景，也能体现团队的核心行动，最适合作为文章标题。故选C。
