1.解析：everything seemed to be all right意為“一切事情似乎是正常的”。下文中的yet表示轉(zhuǎn)折，意為“然而”，表示一切事情似乎都正常，然而他感到有些確定和不安。something意為“一些事”。anything意為“任何事”，常用于否定或疑問句中。nothing意為“沒有什么事”。
2.解析：roll意為“滾動”，指烏云在天空中翻滾。drop意為“使滴下，淌，落下”，常表示液體或物體滴下或降落。fall意為“落下；散落”。cover意為“覆蓋”。
3.解析：suddenly意為“突然”，指某事突然發(fā)生，表示雷電來得非常突然。strongly意為“堅強(qiáng)地，有力地，大大地，猛烈地”。quickly意為“快速地”，表示動作迅速。hardly意為“幾乎不”，構(gòu)成否定句。
4.解析：blind意為“把……的眼睛弄花”，根據(jù)下文所提供的情景rubbed his eyes可判斷出，由于雷電發(fā)出強(qiáng)烈的光芒，使Raul看不見眼前的東西。beat意為“打，拍，敲”。burn意為“燃燒”。touch意為“觸摸”。
5.解析：bury one’s head in one’s hands意為“用手捂住頭”，因為雷鳴電閃，使Raul感到害怕，所以他用手捂住了頭。nose意為“鼻子”。hair意為“頭發(fā)”。neck意為“脖子”。根據(jù)常識可判斷出當(dāng)雷鳴電閃時，人們通常會用手捂住頭，而不會捂住鼻子、頭發(fā)或脖子。
6.解析：look up意為“抬頭看”。表示Raul聽到馬蹄聲時，抬頭看了看。wake up意為“醒來”。根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容可判斷出Raul并沒有昏迷，所以不存在醒來的事。lie down意為“躺下”。sit down意為“坐下”。這都不是一個人在聽到馬蹄聲所做的動作。
7.解析：horse意為“馬”，從上文中的Footbeats可知，一匹白馬來到了Raul面前。tiger意為“虎”，lion意為“獅子”，elephant意為“象”，都不符合短文提供的情景。
8.解析：slowly意為“慢慢地”，表示老人慢慢地回答說，符合上了歲數(shù)人的做事的狀態(tài)。lazily意為“懶洋洋地，吊兒郎當(dāng)?shù)亍保琣ngrily意為“憤怒地”，coldly意為“冷冰冰地”。

10.解析：around意為“在……的周圍”，根據(jù)下文所提供的情景not a drop fell on them可判斷出在他們的周圍大雨澆灌下來。beside意為“在旁邊”，through意為“穿過”，above意為“在……的上面”。下雨時，人們在雨中，不會出現(xiàn)雨在人的旁邊、上邊或穿過人的身體的情況。
11.解析：yet意為“然而”，表示雖然下著大雨，但雨點并沒有落到他們的身上。for作連詞時，意為“因為”，用于附帶說明理由。so意為“因此”。or意為“否則，或者”。
12.解析：head意為“前進(jìn)”，表示向Raul家的方向前進(jìn)。walk意為“步行”，與上文所提供的情景Raul followed on his horse.矛盾，他們是騎在馬上的，而不是步行。lead意為“帶領(lǐng)”。return意為“返回”，不與back連用。
13.解析：因為這個句子的主語是he，所以要用反身代詞himself。表示Raul發(fā)現(xiàn)自己在牧場門口。
14.解析：wave意為“揮動”，老人騎上了馬，向Raul揮手。shake意為“搖動”，常用于shake hands，表示握手。hold意為“拿，握”。take意為“拿（走）”。

17.解析：worry意為“擔(dān)心”，與介詞about連用，表示擔(dān)心某人。根據(jù)下文中的Raul的父親的問話Are you okay?可判斷出由于突降暴雨，父親對他非常擔(dān)心。wait意為“等待”，常與for連用，表示等待某人或某物。think about意為“考慮”。excite意為“使激動”。
18.解析：rain意為“雨”，out of意為“越出……的范圍”，指從雨進(jìn)屋去。yard意為“院子”。wind意為“風(fēng)”。grass意為“草”。
19.解析：believe意為“相信”，表示相信某人某時某地所說的話，并不涉及對其總的評價，含有信以為真的意味。表示相信老爺爺過去曾經(jīng)講過的故事。consider意為“考慮”。doubt意為“懷疑”。forget意為“忘記”。
20.解析：strike意為“打，敲，擊，毆；碰，撞，攻擊，沖擊”，指急促、突然、一次性地打擊，也指用力地敲打。這里指受到雷擊。defeat意為“打敗”。catch意為“抓住”。damage意為“損害”。
