答案:1.B;2.A;3.B;4.A;5.D;6.B;7.B;8.A;9.B;10.C;11.A;12.A;13.A;14.B;15.D;
解析:

(1)

因为从该空的下文“after doing research work in the forest all day”可推知,是在整整一天的工作之后,显然“傍晚”最恰当。

(2)

从第一段最后一句可推知。

(3)

return to some place表重返某地。此外表在森林里工作了一天之后,返回到支起帐篷的地方。

(4)

只有put up有“搭起,支起”的意思。

(5)

该文中叙述的惊险故事,是发生在夜幕降临的时候,所以it应指“天色”,译成“天渐渐地黑了下来”。

(6)

此处表我在狭窄的小道上走着。

(7)

只能填two eyes,因为后面有“looking at me”。

(8)

下文提示了是一只虎,所以它不能同时置身于许多树周围,也不能置身于许多树之下。因此答案为A,among,译成“……从树木丛中”。

(9)

save my life表“挽救我的生命”,即自救。

(10)

根据下一句推知,此处是向右一看,而并不一定向右转。

(11)

此处open为形容词,with its mouth wide open是with的复合结构,表老虎的凶相。

(12)

此处指我十分害怕。

(13)

由于害怕,吓得闭上眼睛,不敢看;再加上下一行也有opened my eyes。

(14)

上文有“我闭上了眼睛”,如果闭上了眼睛,A、C、D三项的动作又从何产生呢?因此,正确答案为B项。

(15)

此处指老虎从我上空跳了过去正好落在鳄鱼嘴里,其余选项也非常容易排除,不可能是在我、它自己、河流嘴里。
