C 根据后文“他打开通向地下室的门 ”可以判断 Sibson 冲下楼梯的目的是“查看一下”到底发生了什么事情。39. D 他打开地下室的门,火焰从里面喷发出来。此处 explode out 意为 break out(突然爆发) 。40. A 根据此句中 “因为这个房间有一个通向屋外的独立的楼梯” ,因此
11、他当时感觉应该是“安全的” 。41. B 当他正想通过那个楼梯出去的时候,却被一堵火墙给阻拦(stop ) ,故用 B。42. B 根据前面 “three kilometres”及后文“so well hidden by trees”可知他的房子应该是离开主干道有 3 公里。故用介词 off。43. C 由于离开主干道 3 公里且被树所遮蔽,因此呼救是没有结果的(fruitless) ,故选 C。44. A 突然他听到了像烟雾警报器之类的声音。strike ones ears“传进某人的耳朵;突然听到” 。45. D 根据后文 Huggons 拨打 911 可知,他是带上了他的电话。故选 D。
