本文讲述了作者开车到学校接女儿去游泳途中遭遇地震的经历。

1. C get sb.在此意为"接某人"。

2. D从下文的"We like to have some fruit to eat after our swim."可以得知"我"是和女儿一起去"游泳"。

3. C因为还要去接女儿游泳,所以,作者在接到女儿之前的一系列动作肯定是匆匆忙忙的。"rush to the post office"意思是"匆忙赶到邮局"。

4. C去买些"新鲜的"水果。其他几项在文中没有依据。

5. A如果是从同一方向来的车就没必要修天桥了。所以,天桥应是给从另外一个方向来的车用的。

6. B若一边开车一边吃水果,将水果放在"身边的"座位上是最方便的。

7. B从下文"I slowed down"的描述来看,在路上左右两边晃的车只能是在作者的"前面"。词组in front of意为"在……前方"。

8. C根据上下文,此处应是感觉到"车"有异常。

9. C根据"I didn't know what was happening."的上文可知,作者在当时未意识到地震已发生的情况下,应是在"猜测"他的车是否出了毛病。

10. C从16空后面的"road"可知是前面车上方的天桥垮了。

11. D从"I couldn't move them"的描述可以想象,作者的腿和脚一定是被卡住了,所以应为"疼"得厉害。

12. A根据下文but分句的含义可以推断出,当时"我"的四周是一片"寂静"的。

13. C根据上下文,刚才"我"以为车出了毛病,现在才"意识到"刚才遇到的是地震。

14. A词组at least表"至少……"之意。

15. B根据上文得知,当时四周一片漆黑,所以不可能"看见"或"认出";而catch则表示"发现(某人做坏事)"。因此,只能是"听到"有人爬过来。

16. A从前文第二段"Over my road was anoth?er way for cars coming the other way."得知, "我"是被埋在"震坏的"路下面。

17. D根据当时的情况,应是"陌生人"来救援。

18. C "我"凭"感觉"判断腿断了。

19. C as soon as是指时间上尽快,使时间尽可能短,而as fast as是指在速度上快。

20. A作者从地震发生时起到被救出来一直待在"车"里。
