【解析】

1.A 考查动词辨析及语境的理解。句意：那个人，24岁的詹姆士 威尔逊站起来但是又掉下去了。stood站立；stayed停留；waited等待；fell跌倒。本段话的第一句中已经出现了fell一词，同时，在这个句子中，出现了again，可推断此处也是fell，故选A。

2.D 考查形容词辨析及语境的理解。句意：这是一个很糟糕的时刻，一场事故即将发生。故选D。wrong错误的；natural自然的；magical魔力的；terrible糟糕的。根据本句后出现的一句an accident seemed to be about to happen，可推断当时的情况是非常糟糕的，故选D。

3.D考查名词辨析及语境的理解。句意：站台上的每个人都非常担忧那个年轻人因为他的生命很可能在几秒钟后就没了。days天；hours小时；minutes分钟；seconds秒。根据当时的语境，可知列车很快就要来了，因此，他的生命即将在几秒钟内受到威胁。故选D。

4.C考查形容词辨析及语境的理解。句意：但是布朗先生依然保持冷静。他看了看那个人，并且看了看那个人所处的空间。大概有半米深。wide宽的；high高的；deep深的；long长的。根据对上下文的理解以及常识，可知推断当时的铁轨是有半米深的，这样才能保证后面他们躺在那里安全地让列车通过，故本题选C。

5.A考查名词辨析及语境的理解。句意：在这个时候，布朗先生知道他必须得做出一个艰难的决定，并且这个决定对那个年轻人非常重要。suggestion建议；description描述；discussion讨论；decision决定。根据文意可知，Brown要在短时间内作出如何救那个年轻人的决定，故选A。

6.B考查动词辨析及语境的理解。句意：布朗先生躺到威尔逊的上面并且让他在下面。sat坐；ran跑；hid隐藏；lay躺。根据句意可知，根据上下文的意思以及常识，可知Brown当时是要救那个年轻人，那么就必须躺在他的上方对他进行保护，故选B。

7.C考查动词辨析及语境的理解。句意：司机看到了他们两个，很害怕，但是他没有办法让车及时停下来。leave离开；reach到达；move移动；stop停止。根据语境，可知道列车开来的时候列车司机发现铁轨上躺了两个人，但由于时间有限是不可能让列车及时地停下来。故选C。

8.B考查名词辨析及语境的理解。句意：站台上的人们鼓掌并且为他们的英雄欢呼。star明星；leader领导；driver司机；hero英雄。根据语境，可知Brown在自己丝毫没受伤的情况下也救了那个年轻人，因此成为了人们心目中的英雄，故选B。
