【解析】本文是一篇故事情节较强的记叙文。

1．B only to do sth.“结果却，不料”，作结果状语，表示该结果在主语的预料之外；现在分词作结果状语，表示由主句所产生的逻辑上的结果。 realize在脑海里经过思维“认识到，了解”；find在表面上就能“发现，看出”。

2．A 这四个选项都是英语成语，根据本段第一句an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened

America判断，选择A项。

3．D 从意义上判断，“他想起了他曾对他儿子许下的诺言”；memorized是“背诵，熟记”。

4．A 从结构上分析，该句是省略了谓语动词的省略句，省略谓语之后，意义仍然清楚，如不省略动词，则使用第三人称单数happens。从意义上分析，可排除C、D项。

5．A 表示“流泪”，这几个动词都可能表示这种意义，但句式搭配不同，其表现形式分别为Tears fill his eyes；Tears come into his eyes；He bursts into tears。

6．B 从上下文意义判断，“他不停地想起他对他儿子许下的诺言”。

7．B 动词和动词短语是完形填空设项的重点之一。此题要分清这四项的不同含义。dig及物动词，“掘（土），挖”；dig through“（为找……）在……里挖掘”；dig out “发掘出” dig into“钻研”。

8．D 从结构上分析，应该用现在分词作伴随状语，用and则表示并列，用said。

9．C Come on表示劝说，不耐烦，意为“得啦！，来！”，可用Come, Come,代替。

10．D 从词义上判断one line“一句话（台词）”，A项中的one word干扰性较大，它表示“一个词”，如用words 是正确的。

11．A “介词+反身代词”有固定含义，for oneself独自地，亲自；by oneself单独地；of oneself自行地，自动地；to oneself 对（着）自己。

12．C 这四个词都有“活着的”之意，live仅用作定语，作表语用living ，alive 。living和alive在意义上有细微差别，living可作定语和表语，含有“本以为死了，然而还活着”，又如：I can’t believe my first teacher is still living。alive作表语和后置定语，其含义与dead相对应。lively“生动的，活跃的”。

13．D “在第3小时的时候，……”，序数词之前要用定冠词。

14．B 注意这四个词的区别：sound “（各种）声音” ；voice “（人们说话的）嗓音” noise“（不悦耳的）嘈音”；tone“（人们说话的）语气，语调”。

15．B 这是表将来的虚拟语气，主句中用would +动词原形，从下文的句子中也能找到类似的句子。

16．A 从意义上判断，“如果你来救我，他们也会得救。”是条件状语从句，应该用if 引导，然而选项中没有if，when与if同义，引导条件状语从句。even if 引导让步状语从句。

17．C 此题包含一个固定句型：There are … left. “还有……剩余下来”。

18．C 14 …out of 33 意为：33人中有14人活下来。out of “从……里面”。特别注意此题中的介词与前面的left没有任何联系。如果没有意识到这点，极可能会选错。

19．D 从意义上判断，“房屋倒塌时，自然形成的三角空隙”。而make room; make space 意为“（有意识地）为……腾出空间”。

20．A 从上下文意义判断，此句为原因状语从句。

In 1989 an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America, killing over 30,000 people in less than four minutes. A father rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be, only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.
After the shock, he remembered the promise he had made to his son: “No matter what happened, I’ll always be there for you!” And tears began to fill his eyes. As he looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school, it looked hopeless, but he kept remembering his promise to his son.
Remembering his son’s classroom would be in the back right corner of the building, he rushed there and started digging.
Other parents tried to pull him off the ruins, saying: “It’s too late! They’re all dead! You can’t help!” He replied, “Are you going to help me now?” The fire chief showed up and tried to pull him off the school’s ruins saying, “Fires are breaking out, explosions are happening everywhere. You’re in danger. We’ll take care of it. Go home.” This loving, caring American father asked, “Are you going to help me now?”
The police came and said, “You’re, anxious and it’s over. Go home. We’ll handle it!” He replied, “Are you going to help me now?” No one helped.
Courageously he went on alone. He dug for eight hours...12 hours...24 hours...36 hours...then, in the 38th hour, he heard his son’s voice. He screamed his son’s name, “ARMAND!” He heard back, “Dad! It’s me, Dad! You promised no matter what happened, you would always be there for me! You did it, Dad!” “What’s going on in there? How is it?” the father asked.
“There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad. ”
“Come out, boy!”
“No, Dad! Let the other kids out first, because I know you’ll get me! No matter what happens, I know you’ll always be there for me!”
