試題分析：文章大意：本文講敘了Wasana看到山上的雨水聚集的奇怪景象，從而聯(lián)想到在災(zāi)難管理課程上學(xué)到的知識，預(yù)知一場山體滑坡即將發(fā)生，并及時向同學(xué)和老師們發(fā)出警告，讓大家及時逃離到安全地帶，阻止了原本有能造成的生命危險事故的發(fā)生。他最后說，每個人都有必要學(xué)習(xí)災(zāi)難管理課程，因為我們所學(xué)的這些知識將在關(guān)鍵時刻發(fā)生作用，甚至拯救生命。

1.動詞。句意：當(dāng)他站在教室外面等其他同學(xué)的時候，他漫不經(jīng)心地“盯”著外面的傾盆大雨看。從aimlessly at可知，這里應(yīng)指他“盯著” 瓢潑大雨在看，只能選stared ， 凝視。選A

9.A. angrily生氣地；B. sadly難過地；C. excitedly激動地；D. wildly瘋狂地。千鈞一發(fā)之際，Wasana當(dāng)然是瘋狂地（wildly）揮舞著手臂。。選D

10.動詞。注意這句話的主語是“rocks on the hill”, 所以山上的石頭很可能會滾落下來，而不是beat “打，（有規(guī)律的）敲打”。選C

11.短語辨析。所有的學(xué)生和老師立即就跑到外面的一個空曠地區(qū)，這個地方是早就“留出，撥出”給應(yīng)急之用的聚集場所。從后面的an emergency gathering point可知，這個地方應(yīng)該是早就劃為“緊急預(yù)防地帶”。所以用 set aside“（為以后的某種用途） 留出，省出”。區(qū)分其他三個選項：put away：收起，將…放回原處；bring forth:產(chǎn)生，引起；taken apart:拆卸，拆開。選 B

14.注意此空格前的形容詞是sharp, 句意“多虧了Wasana的敏捷的反應(yīng)和敏銳的______”，當(dāng)然應(yīng)該填observation“觀察力”。綜合全文可知， Wasana是將課堂上學(xué)的東西和敏銳的觀察力相結(jié)合，才使得他預(yù)知災(zāi)難即將發(fā)生。選C

15.動詞。后面出現(xiàn)了heavy damage ，所以這兩間教室的破壞程度更嚴(yán)重，所以填destroyed “被毀壞”。選A

16.代詞。這次山體滑坡毀壞了兩間教室，并且對其他的六間（教室）造成了破壞。指代可數(shù)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)用others（其他的、另外的人或事物） = other classrooms。選C
