【解析】

【1】从故事情节看，这里说的是客车行驶在路上，不能用it was time to do sth.“做某事的时间到了”，而应该用it was about to do sth.“正准备做某事”。

【2】这里说的是一对恋人，因此用couple“一对”。

【3】这里说的是这对恋人要求下车，故用call for“要求”。

【4】这里用go on“继续”。客车继续往前行驶。

【5】此处表示客车往前开，然后被山上的落石击中了。因此这里用ahead“向前，往前”。

【6】客车掉进了深谷，无人生还，听到这个消息，他们应该是感到震惊。故shock“震惊”，符合语境。

【7】参见上题解析。

【8】看到悲剧的发生，这对恋人感到惋惜和难过，因此选D，表示“叹息”。第13空前“Those people usually said with a sigh”也有提示。

【9】根据定语tourist可知，这里应用bus表示游览车。第三段最后一句“On our bus”也是提示。

【10】导游让作者猜猜这对恋人在车祸发生之后立即说了什么。immediately“立即，即刻”。

【11】有些人错过了车，结果躲过了灾难，这样的乘客可谓“幸运”。故选C项。

【12】根据上题解析可知，此处应用avoid“躲避，避免”。

【13】那些躲过劫难的人，觉得自己很幸运，因此会relief“如释重负”。

【14】根据后面的“various”可判断，游客的回答五花八门，故选reply“回答”。

【15】这对恋人要求下车，结果耽搁了时间。delay“耽误”。

【16】如果不是他们要求下车耽误了时间，这辆车就能开出那个危险地带了。因此选B，表示“过去，经过”。

【17】别人听这个故事感受到的是智慧，但作者的想法却不同。think otherwise“并非如此认为”，符合语境。

【18】作者认为这个故事其实是在考验一个人的思想境界。故用examination“考察”。

【19】从前面的叙述可知，这对恋人非常自责，因此选B。

【20】根据语境可知，此处表示人都有怜悯之心。mercy“怜悯”，符合语境。
