D
I sat in my car and watched dolphins(海豚) swim in the sea. It was so interesting. Suddenly, I saw more and more dolphins become beached(搁浅) after the tide(潮水) went out. That was too dangerous. Those dolphins needed help—and fast.
I didn't think too much. I jumped off my car and ran to them. I first called the police, but their hands were far and away. I couldn't see a person nearby. For those dolphins, it was a life-or-death time. Not knowing what to do, I turned to the internet for help, hoping people nearby could see my message and come to rescue(营救) those lovely animals.
Minutes later, three boys of a nearby school were the first to arrive. It was like light piercing the darkness. Then more and more people arrived after that. With the help of fishermen, about 40 volunteers took smaller dolphins to deeper waters.
To everyone's surprise, no dolphin left after it got free. The dolphins stayed in the water before the rescue was finished. When all 16 dolphins were set free, they soon went back to their sea home together.
It warmed my heart that the dolphins helped each other in the face of difficulty. Our volunteer group is the same as the dolphins. On a cold November day, nobody was afraid to get wet or dirty. We tried our best to save the dolphins and keep the rescue in order and keep the safety of everybody. I will never forget it.

24. C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I sat in my car and watched dolphins swim in the sea. It was so interesting.”可知，作者一开始看到海豚是兴奋的；根据“That was too dangerous. Those dolphins needed help—and fast.”可知，看到海豚搁浅后，作者变得紧张起来；根据“It warmed my heart that the dolphins helped each other in the face of difficulty.”可知，看到海豚的互帮互助，作者感到温暖。故选C。

【解析】
22. 词义猜测题：定位第三段“Minutes later, three boys of a nearby school were the first to arrive. It was like light piercing the darkness.”，此处将男孩们的到来比作光，“piercing”描述光与黑暗的关系，结合语境可推断意为“穿透”，故选D。
23. 推理判断题：最后一段关键句“On a cold November day, nobody was afraid to get wet or dirty. We tried our best to save the dolphins...”体现众人合力救援，对应“Many hands make light work（人多力量大）”的主旨，故选C。
24. 情感推断题：第一段“I sat in my car and watched dolphins swim in the sea. It was so interesting.”体现作者兴奋；第二段“That was too dangerous. Those dolphins needed help—and fast.”体现作者紧张；最后一段“It warmed my heart that the dolphins helped each other...”体现作者温暖，故选C。
25. 细节判断题：A选项对应最后一段“nobody was afraid to get wet or dirty”，与原文一致；B选项原文“no dolphin left after it got free”，故错误；C选项原文是潮水退去后海豚搁浅危险，并非潮水退去前，故错误；D选项是三个男孩最先到达，不是渔民，故错误，故选A。
