27．Many people stood near the bus stop, nervously waiting ________. A．to pick up C．to be picked up
B．picking up D．being picked up
答案：C 考查不定式的被动式。句意：许多人站在公共汽车站附近，焦急地等待着车来接他们。wait to do sth.“等待做某事”；many people和pick up之间是被动关系，故用不定式的被动式。

“The doctor said I suffered a severe heart attack，” Kimball said Thursday, __45__ recovering at his Norwich home. Kimball said, “God worked a miracle __46__ Noah. He saved my life, plain and simple.”
Kimball wasn't the only one __47__. On Tuesday, First Student held a ceremony at Noah's school __48__ him for bis “heroic leadership”. Company officials __49__ him with a plaque(匾) and a $50 prize.
“You are being __50__ for your quick thinking and showing great care and __51__ for your driver, and because of you, he will be just fine，” the plaque __52__.
Noah didn't care for the sudden __53__. He was coaxed(哄劝) by Kimball to attend Tuesday's ceremony.

B．in case D．now that
答案：C 句式结构题。the way在这里作状语，Kimball不像以往那样和他交谈和开玩
