60、mell was coming through the window可知，发生了紧急情况， Kevin的母亲“叫醒了(woken)”他。17C母亲告诉Kevin让他在她的房间和弟弟一起“等(wait)”。18B根据下文的“. saw a line of cars”可知，Kevin的父母走出了他们“家(house)”。19D根据上文的all headed the same way可知，一排车都往同一方向开，大家都在“逃跑(escaping)”。20D根据下文的The air was thick with smoke可知，在远处能“听到(heard)”火灾的轰鸣声，空气中弥漫着浓烟。21CThe

61、air was thick with smoke与there were no alarms, no warning lights, no firefighters to help之间存在转折关系。22B根据下文的Kevin took his guitar, . took water and food可知，Kevin一家决定马上“离开(leave)”。23A根据下文的driving away as fast as they could可知答案。24C根据下文的be asleep可知，他们一家希望叫醒那些可能“还(still)”在睡觉的人们。25D根据下文的“. driving away as f

62、ast as they could”可知，他们一家也“加入了(joined)”开车逃跑的行列。26B见下题解析。27A根据文中的“Was their house still standing”可知，他们一家很“担心(worried)”，一直在等消息。他们不知道自己的房子是否还在，朋友和邻居们是否“安全(safe)”。28B在他们一家回家的途中，Kevin看到一座变黑的山。29D根据前后的转折可知，他们家的房子“还好(OK)”。30A根据上文的转折和“Firefighters had arrived in time”可知，消防队员及时赶到是个很大的“帮助(help)”。31C根据下文的“Thei

63、r town was a disaster area”可知，尽管他们的房子还好，可他们的城镇是个灾区，他们一家还是觉得很“难过(sad)”。32A根据上文的“. became a shelter for families .”可知，避难所是提供给那些“失去(lost)”家园的家庭。33C九年多过去了，这些“回忆(memories)”依然历历在目。34B根据上文的“so are the good ones”可知，除了不好的回忆，也留下了好的回忆。他们一起“清扫(cleaned up)”小镇。35D根据最后一句话可知，这个系统“起作用了(worked)”。答案与解析36largest根据空格前面的

64、定冠词the及句意可知该空应填large的最高级形式largest。37a根据固定短语a large quantity of“大量的”可知该空填a。38has made所给词在句中作谓语且根据句中时间状语over the past 20 years可知空处填has made。39growth所给词在句中作动词enjoyed的宾语，应用名词形式，故填growth“增长”。40It根据空格所在句句式结构和句中的that可知该句为强调句，填It。41inresult in“导致”。42whichwhich引导非限制性定语从句代替前面整句话的内容。43contributionsmake contributions to“对作出贡献”。44when根据句意“我们应该养成节约水的习惯，尤其是当我们刷牙和洗手时”。when“当时候”，引导时间状语从句。45running所给词在“leave宾语宾补”结构中作宾补， run与其逻辑宾语water为主动关系，故用现在分词形式作宾补。
