I shall never forget the day when the earthquake took place. The time was 5∶15 in the afternoon and I __1__ along the road to __2__ my daughter from school. Our plan was to go __3__ together.

Suddenly I saw the cars in front of me start to move __8__. I slowed down. Then my car started __9__！ I didn't know what was happening. __10__ something had gone wrong with my car. I drove __11__ slower. I stopped the car and at the same moment the road fell onto the cars __12__ me.

I __13__ myself in the dark. I couldn't move. All around me was __14__. For about two hours nobody came. Luckily I could __15__ the bag of apples, so at least I had plenty to eat. Then a team of people had come to see if anyone was under the __16__ road.

“__17__ are you doing？” asked the helper. “Not too bad，” I said, “but my feet and legs __18__ as if they're broken.” “We'll have you out of there just as __19__ as we can.” They didn't get me out __20__ the morning. I had been in my car for fourteen hours.

试题答案

1．C　从下文可知，是驱车前往，而非“走”或“跑”。

2．D　因既要去又要回，即“去接回”，用 fetch。bring “带来”，take “带走”，carry “运载，携带”。

3．A　从第一段最后一句可知。

4．A　从该句与下一句所用都为过去完成时可得出，在地震来临前所做的几件事。

5．D　目的状语，“停车”就是“为了买”水果。

6．B　从第一段可知是去学校接女儿，学校前加 the，表特指。

7．C　因自己“饿”，所以后面才吃了苹果。

8．C　从下面可知是发生地震时，车辆受影响而摇晃。from side to side 从这边到另一边；here and there 各处，到处；now and then 不时，时而；up and down 上上下下，到处。

9．B　汽车在发生地震时开始“摇晃”。start/begin to do/doing 开始做某事。当主语是物时，只能接 to do。tremble 意为“发抖，颤动”。

10．A　从前一句可知，不知发生何事，故推测。

11．C　修饰比较级可用 much/even/still/far/yet/by far/a bit/a little/a lot/a great deal。more 只能和原形连用，构成比较级，very 应修饰原级，too 表“太，过于”。

12．D　表示在我“前面”。in/at the front/of 在……前部；in front of＝before 在……前面。

13．A　从上文可知，“我”是遭遇地震，被头顶上的车砸昏之后又苏醒过来，“意外发现”自己的处境。“find oneself＋介词短语”表“不知不觉……”之意；find out 是“发现，查清”；discover 是“发现(原来存在而不为人所知的东西)”。

14．B　从后一句可知，无人来，周围无人，故“一片寂静”。

15．D　指“够得上，够得着”，故可以吃苹果来充饥。

16．C　break 的过去分词作定语，表“破的，垮掉的”。

17．B　用 how 与 do 搭配，表询问某人“你还好吗”。

18．A　此处不是“看起来好像”，而是“感觉好像”。

19．C　as fast as “尽快”，指速度快；as soon as “尽快”，指时间快；as...as we can/possible “尽(我们)所能的”。

20．C　not...until “直到……才”，not 与短暂性动词连用；until “一直到”，主句动词是延续性的。
