Still haft asleep, I【C8】______into the sitting room, and, there through【C9】______clouds of smoke, I saw that one of the curtains was【C10】______fire.  I should have closed the windows then without delay, but【C11】______I tried to beat out the flames with a folded newspaper.【C12】______this failed I hastened into the kitchen to【C13】______a bucket and fill it with water. At the same time I shouted to Barbara, who【C14】______dialed 999 to Summon the fire brigade【C15】______coming to my aid. We had to work at top speed carrying buckets of water from the kitchen to prevent the flames,【C16】______by the breeze  from  the  windows,    from spreading. We were unable to【C17】______out the fire but we managed to keep it【C18】______in check until the arrival of the firemen.  Fortunately, they arrived promptly and they had little difficulty【C19】______putting  out  the flames. For most of the【C20】______of the day we worked hard.
【C12】

选项 A、Because
B、For
C、When
D、Still

答案C

解析 结构衔接题。this是指上文中的to beat out the flames with a folded newspaper。显然作者在客观地陈述事实,而不是想要说明原因,因此这里应该使用时间状语从句而非原因状语从句,排除A和B。
