【解题导语】艾伦和杰克在他们家附近的河面上玩，可意外突然发生，杰克掉进了水里，艾伦在救杰克时也掉进了水里，幸亏杰克的姐姐叫来了邻居救了他们两个。这个故事告诉我们，不要去危险的地方玩耍，在发生意外时，要学会向别人求助，不要不考虑自身情况就贸然救人。

1.C 表示在具体某一天的晚上要用介词on。

2.A 他们把一块石头扔到冰上，来检验一下它是否结实。throw"扔，投"；give"给"；collect"收集"；take"带走"。

3.D 根据下文中的"Then they stepped（踩）on it"可知，他们认为冰面能承受住他们的重量。

4.B a few和few修饰可数名词复数，前者表示肯定，意为"一些，几个"，后者表示否定，意为"几乎没有"。a little和little修饰不可数名词。根据句意和空后的steps可知用a few。

5.A 根据上文中的"Alan ran to help his friend"可知，他试图将杰克从冷水里拉出来，故用pull。

6.D 根据下文中的"quickly stopped the car"可知，应用driving表示"正开车"。

7.C 根据常识可知，邻居约翰应是在听到求救声之后停车去救人的。
