答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。“我”和朋友走出森林,却没有把篝火灭掉。等我们回去时发现火势已经大了起来,于是我们赶紧灭火。
1.B 走出森林时,“我”想如果我们没把火扑灭会怎么样?最后,“我”就向“我”的朋友们提出了这个问题(question)。结合前面句子的问号可知此处应该用“问题”,故选B项。
2.C 句意:Elias二话没说,走了大约十码,返回到我们点的(lit)小火旁。故选C项。
3.D 就在这时,Elias从平静转为恐惧。他喊道:“着火了!”看到火势吓得Elias大喊起来,故选D项。
4.B 当我们到达火堆时,“我”的心都要跳出来了。故选B项。
5.A 这时它已经扩大成一个直径15英尺的圆圈了。火从中心往四周燃烧变成一个大圆圈(circle),故选A项。
6.C 我们看到10英尺以外有一个水塘,这也是我们救火的唯一选择(option)了。故选C项。
7.A “我”敏捷的思维告诉“我”跳进(jump)池塘,把水泼到离池塘最近的火上。jump into the pond跳进池塘。故选A项。

10.A 句意:Elias和我能够控制住离水最近的火势,然而(however),Micah却不能歇着。前后句子存在转折关系,故选A项。
11.B 虽然Micah提着水桶来回跑但火势仍然在扩大(growing)。此处指火势在不断扩大,故选B 项。
12.C 固定句式:It occurs to sb. that...某人突然想起……。
13.D 此处指彻底地,故D项正确。
14.A 根据上句话中的wet grass可知答案为A项。

18.B 我们终于把火扑灭了,现场当然就只剩下烟雾(smoke)了。故选B项。
19.D 句意:为了防止(prevent)它再次燃烧起来,我们又在此待了30分钟。prevent...from doing阻止……做某事。故选D项。
