问题     It  must  have been after two o’clockin the morning when the last guests【C1】______their leave,  and al though we had enjoyed their【C2】______my wife and I were quite thankful to shut the door【C3】______them. We【C4】______all the dirty dishes and glasses as they were, and after opening a few windows to let some fresh air in and the smell of stale【C5】______out, we climbed into bed and fell asleep.  I could not have been【C6】______for more than half an hour when I woke with a【C7】______smell of smoke in my nose. Still haft asleep, I【C8】______into the sitting room, and, there through【C9】______clouds of smoke, I saw that one of the curtains was【C10】______fire.  I should have closed the windows then without delay, but【C11】______I tried to beat out the flames with a folded newspaper.【C12】______this failed I hastened into the kitchen to【C13】______a bucket and fill it with water. At the same time I shouted to Barbara, who【C14】______dialed 999 to Summon the fire brigade【C15】______coming to my aid. We had to work at top speed carrying buckets of water from the kitchen to prevent the flames,【C16】______by the breeze  from  the  windows,    from spreading. We were unable to【C17】______out the fire but we managed to keep it【C18】______in check until the arrival of the firemen.  Fortunately, they arrived promptly and they had little difficulty【C19】______putting  out  the flames. For most of the【C20】______of the day we worked hard. [br] 【C18】
选项 A、particularly
B、partially
C、thoroughly
D、completely
答案 B
解析 语义衔接题。keep／hold sth．in check的意思是“控制某物”，文章是指控制火势。既然不能把火扑火，那么在消防队到来之前，只能尽力进行局部控制。
