二、完形填空。(每小题1分,共15分)
$I was living in a house with a long history in Halifax five years ago. One day, one of my friends from the West Coast came to visit me. He was \underline{1} for 3 weeks, so he brought a lot of bags and suitcases, and other things like a \underline{2}. I told him he could sleep on the bed in the front living room.$
$One morning after a late night of drinking, my friend ran into my room, shouting, "FIRE! FIRE!" Without \underline{3}, I jumped out of bed. I felt the floor was \underline{4} as I ran out into the hallway, right behind my friend. I couldn't see the fire anywhere, \underline{5} as we ran towards the front door, I could hear the fire making a loud \underline{6} all around me. The fire was inside the \underline{7}. We ran out into the front yard and looked \underline{8} at the house, seeing black smoke coming out of the \underline{9} house.$
$We were standing there watching the house when I looked down and \underline{10} all of my friend's bags and suitcases \underline{11} lined up on the front grassland, including his basketball. \underline{12} he noticed the house was on fire, he took all of them out to the grassland before he \underline{13} back in to warn me about it. That fire had started in the basement($地下室$), and it spread up into the walls and was burning the \underline{14} we were standing on. The floor and much of the house fell down not long after we came out. The firemen said we were very \underline{15}.$
Of course, we are not friends any more.

【分析】
做完形填空首先要先通读全文，理清故事整体脉络：本文讲述了作者居住的老房子突发火灾，朋友发现火情后先把自己所有行李搬到院子里，才返回房间叫醒作者，二人成功脱险但最终不再是朋友的趣事。解题时不要孤立看单个句子选答案，要优先寻找上下文的对应线索，比如原词复现、前后逻辑关联、文章开头给出的背景信息，再结合生活常识排除错误选项，就能快速锁定正确答案。比如第2空后文直接出现了朋友的篮球，第9空开头就提到房子历史悠久，这些都是直接的解题提示。
【解析】
我们逐题分析：
1. 后文提到作者告诉朋友可以睡客厅的床，说明朋友要在这里暂住三周，staying表示停留、暂住，working工作、waiting等待、resting休息都不符合语境，选B。
2. 后文明确提到including his basketball，可知朋友带的运动物品是篮球，选D。
3. 听到有人喊着火，作者立刻从床上跳起来，完全没有思考，thinking符合紧急火情下的反应，eating吃饭、looking看、drinking喝都不符合场景，选A。
4. 房子已经起火，地板被火烧得发烫，hot符合着火后的特征，wet湿的、smooth光滑的、dirty脏的都不符合常识，选C。
5. 前半句说我到处都看不到火，后半句说跑向前门的时候能听到火的声音，前后是转折关系，用but，选D。
6. 大火燃烧发出的是巨大的嘈杂噪音，noise表示噪音，voice指人的嗓音，sense感觉，scream指人的尖叫，都不符合火发出的声音的属性，选A。
7. 后文明确提到火灾从地下室燃起，蔓延到了墙内部，说明火在墙里面，选B。
8. 我们跑到前院，回头看身后着火的房子，look back是固定搭配表示回头看，符合场景，选C。
9. 文章开头第一句就提到作者住在一栋历史悠久的老房子里，old符合描述，选A。
10. 我低头向下看，注意到朋友所有的包和行李箱都在草地上，noticed表示注意到，符合语境，remembered记得、made制作、gathered聚集都不对，选D。
11. 这些行李整齐地排列在前院草地上，tidily整齐地，对应line up（排成列）的描述，heavily沉重地、differently不同地、naturally自然地都不符合，选A。
12. 这里表示当他注意到房子着火的时候，他把所有行李都搬到了草地上，when引导时间状语从句表示“当…时”，符合逻辑，选C。
13. 他搬完所有行李之后才返回屋里警告我，come back in表示返回，符合语境，选A。
14. 火蔓延到墙里，正在烧我们之前站的地板，后文也提到我们出来没多久地板和房子大部分就塌了，floor符合描述，选D。
15. 我们刚出来没多久房子就塌了，说明我们非常幸运，lucky符合语境，选B。
【答案】
1.B 2.D 3.A 4.C 5.D 6.A 7.B 8.C 9.A 10.D 11.A 12.C 13.A 14.D 15.B
