Answer 1

答案：C;B;C;D;B;A;D;B;C;A;B;D;B;A;C;A;D;D;D;C
解析：

(1)under normal conditions在通常情况下。 (2)根据上下文，首先排除C、D。peacefully平静地；patiently耐心地，相比较而言，B较好。 (3)care for关心。 (4)由句后的rushing知填immediately。 (5)当警报一响，消防队员为了抢时间，有时会顺着楼梯扶手滑下来。 (6)jump on跑上去，主语是人。 (7)flash down一闪而下。 (8)be hired on a full-time basis中的hired为“被雇用”。 (9)见上句。 (10)根据上下文，它们之间为转折关系。 (11)由上下文知，小地方的消防队员除了消防工作，还有自己的工作，故选besides。 (12)由上下文知，当有紧急情况时，他们直接去fire-station集合。 (13)对消防队员而言，听到火警是非常平常的事，双重否定等于肯定。 (14)下文的内容只有通过眼睛看。 (15)发生火灾时，形容人们的动作当然用hurry。 (16)in the direction of朝一个方向。消防队员应该先赶到消防队集合，然后全体行动。 (17)由下文知，他们的工作不只是“灭火”。 (18)advise on fire prevention中的prevention意为“预防”。 (19)get stuck调皮的孩子把头伸进栏杆，而又拔不出来。stuck是stick的过去分词。 (20)被锁在厕所里当然是意料之外的事。
