【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。24岁的Harvold是一家语言学校的老师，他和学生们乘坐巴士前往寄宿家庭的途中，巴士司机心脏病突发，车辆失控。在这紧急关头，还未获得驾照的Harvold迅速作出反应，成功控制了巴士，挽救了30名学生的生命，避免了一场严重事故的发生。

1.句意：24岁的Guy Harvold从盖特威克机场接走了这些学生和三位课程主管。

taken up拿起；kept up保持；set up建立；picked up捡起；接某人。句中“…from Gatwick airport…”说明这些学生和另外三位课程主管是从机场坐的巴士，四个选项中picked sb up“接某人”符合语境。故选D。

2.句意：他们当时正在前往伯恩茅斯见寄宿家庭。

greet问候；welcome欢迎；invite邀请；meet 遇见；见面。下文提到这些学生是去英国伯恩茅斯一家语言学校学习语言的，因此他们乘坐巴士去他们的寄宿家庭见面。meet在句中表示“初次与人结识；见面”。故选D。

3.句意：他们打算去在伯恩茅斯的ABC语言学校上课，Harvold在那里当老师。

take带走；从事；introduce介绍；offer提供；organize组织。文中出现的人物有学生、老师、课程主管，地点有ABC语言学校，因此可推测，这些学生是要去语言学校上课的。take a course意为“上课”。故选A。

4.句意：他们打算去在伯恩茅斯的ABC语言学校上课，Harvold在那里当老师。

driver司机；doctor医生；teacher教师；cook厨师。根据第一段首句提到的“A young English teacher saved the lives of 30 students…”以及下文的信息可知，Harvold是语言学校的英语老师。故选C。

5.句意：没有通过驾驶考试的Harvold说……

given给予；marked做记号；passed 经过；通过；failed没做成。根据最后一段最后一句“A local driving school has also offered him six ____15____ driving lessons.”提到的驾校给Harvold提供学车的课程可以判断出，他还没有通过驾照考试。故选C。

6.句意：我正在和学生们讲话，在那时我意识到公交车失控了。

while当……时；when当……时；在那时；as随着；before在……之前。结合句意可知，是当作者跟同学们说话的时候，意识到公交车失控，因此用时间状语从句，排除C和D；while和when引导的从句中，while引导的从句谓语动词应该是延续性动词，而realize是非延续性动词，因此用when引导。故选B。

7.句意：他注意到司机倒伏在方向盘上。

learned学到；noticed注意到；watched注视；doubted怀疑。根据常识可知，作者是能看到司机的状态的，因此排除A和D；watch通常用于有意识的仔细观察，与看电视看、看比赛等连用，此处并不适用；notice强调注意到的结果。故选B。

8.句意：司机不动了。

sleep睡觉；cry哭泣；move移动；speak说话。根据“…the driver was slumped (倒伏) over the wheel.”可推测“司机不能动”符合句意。故选C。

9.句意：Harvold成功控制了已失控的巴士。

remembered记得；tried试着；succeeded成功；managed 设法。根据“A young English teacher saved the lives of thirty students…”可知Harvold救了30个学生的性命，因此可判断他成功控制了已失控的巴士。manage to do sth意为“设法做成某事”。故选D。

10.句意：警方赞扬了这位年轻教师的敏捷思维。

praised表扬；followed跟随；recorded记录；understood理解。Harvold成功控制了失控的巴士，避免了更糟糕的局面，警察对此行为应当是赞扬的，因此praised符合语境。故选A。

11.句意：如果她没有快速地处理这个情况，那就会有一场严重的交通事故。

clearly清晰地；quickly快速地；suddenly突然；quietly安静地。根据“…the young teacher for his quick thinking.”可知Harvold是快速的处理了当时的情况。故选B。

12.句意：他经常在学校工作，受到老师和学生的好评。

airport机场；hospital医院；school学校；police警察。老师和学生对这位巴士司机评价很好。因此可推断，他经常和这个学校合作。故选C。

13.句意：我很高兴没有其他人受伤，但是我希望司机也能活下来。

happy快乐的；lucky幸运的；moved感动的；sorry抱歉的。学生们安然无恙，作为老师，Harvold应当是感到高兴的，故选A。

14.句意：学校将派Harvold和一个朋友去都柏林度周末。

project工程；trip 旅行；dinner 晚宴；task工作。根据本题所在句子中的“thanking him…”可知学校奖励了Harvold，让他带上朋友去都柏林周末旅行，故选B。

15.句意：当地一所驾校还为他提供了六门免费驾驶课程。

necessary必要的；easy容易的；different不同的；free免费的；自由的。根据本题所在句子中的also可知，驾校也对Harvold的英勇行为给予了奖励，赠他六次免费驾校课程。故选D。
