小题21:D 由下文They found a home in flames.可推断出此处应为 fire
小题22:A 由下文“That home belongs to Fred Jones who works at the plant.”可知失火的是Fred Jones的家，故此处填home
小题23:C 根据上下文反复提到John和Mary驾驶着汽车，故选项为C
小题24:B John说，那是Fred Jones的家，又说或许他们能做点什么，即提供帮助（救火）。中间这句应该是说Fred Jones 这个时间不会在家，所以应该是be off works（还没下班）。
小题25:C A和B项不符合语境，显然Mary的态度很激烈，要John不要管闲事，所以要用require。而disagree一般用于某人不同意或反对某时或某事，用在此处不合适
小题26:C 根据语境来看，房子正在燃烧，因此此处要用flames
小题27:B 情况危急,John抓住woman的肩膀,因此要用seize her by the shoulder,而不可能是推,故不选push
小题28:A 下文讲到John冲进地下室,故A正确
小题29:D 情况紧急,John冲入地下室,故选rushed
小题30:D terribly此处意为“极度地、非常地、骇人地”,房子因失火而热浪滚滚,极其热,热得吓人;而heavily一般用于猛烈地、大量地、严重地，搭配不合适

小题32:B John把孩子救出，递到外面等候的人手中，故选delivered
小题33:C 参看第32小题解析
小题34:D 根据下文，他终于把两个孩子都找到了，关键词语是both，故此处应为two
小题35:A Mary要他不要再回去了，因为房子马上就要倒塌了，所以此处应为dangerous
小题36:D 此句说虽然Mary劝阻，但John还是冲进浓烟弥漫的走廊，故选but
小题37:B John在地下室找到两个孩子，浓烟中带着他们，行动艰难，危急时刻，人也会感觉时间过得很慢，因此应该是“总也走不到头的楼梯”故选B项
小题38:C 虽然在浓烟中看不清，他也并没想到会是自己的孩子，所以虽感觉熟悉，却也很奇怪，故说strangely familiar
小题39:B 带着孩子冲出烈焰浓烟，在阳光下他看清了的确是自己的两个爱子
小题40:A rescue救；found，找到；lost，失去；missed，失去， A 符合语境
