Answer 1

【小題21】D
【小題22】A
【小題23】C
【小題24】B
【小題25】C
【小題26】C
【小題27】B
【小題28】A
【小題29】D
【小題30】D
【小題31】B
【小題32】B
【小題33】C
【小題34】D
【小題35】A
【小題36】D
【小題37】B
【小題38】C
【小題39】B
【小題40】A

解析【小題21】D 由下文They found a home in flames.可推斷出此處應(yīng)為 fire
【小題22】A 由下文“That home belongs to Fred Jones who works at the plant.”可知失火的是Fred Jones的家，故此處填home
【小題23】C 根據(jù)上下文反復(fù)提到John和Mary駕駛著汽車，故選項為C
【小題24】B  John說，那是Fred Jones的家，又說或許他們能做點什么，即提供幫助（救火）。中間這句應(yīng)該是說Fred Jones 這個時間不會在家，所以應(yīng)該是be off works（還沒下班）。
【小題25】C  A和B項不符合語境，顯然Mary的態(tài)度很激烈，要John不要管閑事，所以要用require。而disagree一般用于某人不同意或反對某時或某事，用在此處不合適
【小題26】C 根據(jù)語境來看，房子正在燃燒，因此此處要用flames
【小題27】B 情況危急,John抓住woman的肩膀,因此要用seize her by the shoulder,而不可能是推,故不選push
【小題28】A 下文講到John沖進(jìn)地下室,故A正確
【小題29】D 情況緊急,John沖入地下室,故選rushed
【小題30】D   terribly此處意為“極度地、非常地、駭人地”,房子因失火而熱浪滾滾,極其熱,熱得嚇人;而heavily一般用于猛烈地、大量地、嚴(yán)重地，搭配不合適
【小題31】B 當(dāng)他帶著兩個孩子離開的時候，聽到還有哭聲，因此用as
【小題32】B  John把孩子救出，遞到外面等候的人手中，故選delivered
【小題33】C 參看第32小題解析
【小題34】D 根據(jù)下文，他終于把兩個孩子都找到了，關(guān)鍵詞語是both，故此處應(yīng)為two
【小題35】A  Mary要他不要再回去了，因為房子馬上就要倒塌了，所以此處應(yīng)為dangerous
【小題36】D 此句說雖然Mary勸阻，但John還是沖進(jìn)濃煙彌漫的走廊，故選but
【小題37】B  John在地下室找到兩個孩子，濃煙中帶著他們，行動艱難，危急時刻，人也會感覺時間過得很慢，因此應(yīng)該是“總也走不到頭的樓梯”故選B項
【小題38】C 雖然在濃煙中看不清，他也并沒想到會是自己的孩子，所以雖感覺熟悉，卻也很奇怪，故說strangely familiar
【小題39】B 帶著孩子沖出烈焰濃煙，在陽光下他看清了的確是自己的兩個愛子
【小題40】A  rescue救；found，找到；lost，失去；missed，失去， A 符合語境
