2.句意：他很兴奋，想去弄点水来。考查形容词辨析题。A. excited兴奋的；B. bored无聊的；C. angry生气的。根据上文He has no water to drink and thinks he will die．，可知他很口渴，看到了水泵当然是兴奋不已；结合句意结构，故选A。

3.句意：他失去信心，坐在地上。考查动词辨析题。A. beats跳动；B. loses失去；C. wins战胜。lose heart失去信心，固定短语；根据句意结构，，结合上文but no water comes out.，可知选B。

4.句意：那时，他看见水泵附近有个瓶子。考查名词辨析题。A. pump水泵；B. house房子；C. bottle瓶子。根据下文It is full of water and there is a note on the bottle．，可知选C。

5.句意：你必须把水放进泵里才能把水排出。考查动词辨析题。A. put放；B. drop滴；C. drink喝。put sth. into把某物放进；根据句意结构，可知BC两项意思都与句意不合，故选A。

6.句意：你离开房子时要记得把瓶子装满。考查动词辨析题。A. Want想要；B. Continue继续；C. Remember记得。remember to do sth.记得要做某事（没有做）；本句是祈使句，根据句意结构，可知前两项意思都与句意不合，故选C。

7.句意：他看着那瓶水，决定不了怎么办。考查疑问词辨析题。A. how怎样/如何，表状态或方式；B. what什么，表事物；C. when什么时候，表时间。decide to do sth.决定做某事，动词不定式做decide的宾语，空白处需用表物的what；根据句意结构，可知选B。

8.句意：但是如果他把水放进水泵里，他可能会得到足够的水来帮助他走出沙漠。考查连词辨析题。A. So所以，表因果；B. Or或者，表选择；C. But但是，表转折。本句和上一句If he drinks the water，he may be able to survive in the desert for a while．构成转折关系，需用but连接；根据句意结构，可知选C。

9.句意：他可能会得到足够的水来帮助他走出沙漠，或者什么也得不到。考查不定代词辨析题。A. nothing没有东西，表否定；B. anything任何东西，用于否定句、疑问句；C. something某些东西，用于肯定句。or或者，表选择，用于选择事/物的两个方面；根据句意结构，可知选A。
