【解析】

【语篇解读】文章讲述了Larry用自己的努力挽救了一个女人的生命的英勇事迹。

【1】 由文章的标题A Heroic Driver及上下文可知，Larry正沿着165公路往北行驶(traveling)着。

【2】 根据前面的＂Larry works with Transport Drivers, Inc.＂可知，此处表示他将货物运送给其中一个顾客(customers)后。

【3】 根据语境可知，此处填As表示当他离得更近一些的时候，符合语境要求。

【4】 此处的车与前一句的亮着灯的车并不是同一辆车，故此处指另一辆车，填another。

【5】 由后面的the fire extinguisher(灭火器)和the fire可以判断，此处该填flames＂火苗＂。

【6】 根据第二段中的the wrecked(毁坏的) vehicle可知，此处该填disabled。disable可表示＂使无效，使不能运转＂，此处为过去分词作定语，表示被毁的车。

【7】 Larry把车停在路边，拉好手刹，拿出了灭火器。get hold of意为＂找到所需要的东西＂，与语境吻合，take charge of是＂负责，掌管＂的意思，显然不符合语境要求。

【8】 车灯一直亮着的车的车主走了过来(came over)。come down下降，降低，被拆毁；come through经历……而活着，安然度过；come in进入，卷入。

【9】 make a call是固定搭配，意为＂打电话＂。此处表示那个男子告诉Larry他已经拨打了急救电话。

【10】 就在那时(then)，他们听到从被毁坏的车里传来一个女人的声音。

【11】 靠近(Approaching)车，他们看到一个女人正试图从碎了的车窗里爬出来。

【12】 根据下文的＂she should not move＂可知，此处表示他们告诉她要保持不动(still)的状态，直到救护人员到达。quiet＂安静的＂；away＂不在，离开＂；calm＂镇静的＂。

【13】 根据语境可知，此处存在转折关系。故填but。

【14】根据后面的＂Larry told her that he had already put out the fire and she should not move＂的安慰语言以及常识可知，此处表示当时她认为车子即将要爆炸(explode)了。

【15】 此处表示Larry叫她不要动，以免(in case)伤到脖子。

【16】 由后面的＂let them go to work＂可知，当消防人员和救护人员到了后，Larry和另一个男子便往后退(backed off)，方便他们施救。

【17】发生了交通事故，警察应该到场，且下文＂They let him and the other man go＂中的＂They＂指代本空，故只能选B项。

【18】 Larry问警察他需要留下来还是可以自由(free)离开。

【19】 有一件事情是可以肯定的(for certain)。

【20】 他的努力(efforts)在极大程度上挽救了那个女人的生命。
