2.句意：一个人在看报纸，几秒钟之后他就好像要吃掉它。

考查动词辨析及语境。buying买；selling卖；looking看，不及物动物；reading读。根据上文“We can see there are people sleeping on the bus or train on their____1____home from work in the evenings.”可知，我们可以看到人们在下班回家坐公交车祸火车的时候睡觉，这句话就是举了这样的一个例子。因此这个人不是买、卖报纸的，而是在车上看报纸，应用read。故选D。

考查副词辨析及语境。bravely勇敢地；happily开心地；carelessly粗心地；loudly大声地。该空所选副词修饰的是前面的snoring“打鼾”，结合情境教授让另一个同学把睡觉的人喊醒，因此可推知，这个睡觉的学生鼾声很大。故选D。

5.句意：更尴尬的情况是，学生开始进入睡眠状态，头部的重量将手臂推离桌子，身体的其他部分也随之移动。
