【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查现在分词的用法。an open top bus与carry的关系是主动关系，因此用carrying，答案为A。[知识拓展] carry可表示“载有，刊载，携带”等。
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查介词的使用。此处with her hands over her mouth(不由自主的用手盖住自己的嘴巴)作伴随状语，意为“惊恐地用手捂住嘴”，也可以说put one’s hand over one’s mouth； in front of表示“在……前面”，没有“覆盖在……上面”的意思；cover的范围更广，有掩盖住脸面的意思，文章只是表示捂住嘴避免发出尖叫声，cover略显过头，与文意不符。故答案为B。
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查介词的用法。根据常识可知汽车撞人会把人撞得飞起来，即throw up into air，into有“到里面，进入”的意思。还有“撞上，碰上”的意思。故答案为C。
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查动词的使用。slam into=to crash into sth．with a lot of force表示“(使)重重地撞上”，体现速度之快，同时强调撞车的力量，had接动词过去分词，所以用had slammed； smash"打碎”；crunch"嘎吱嘎吱地响(或碾踩)”，不符合题意；crash是指交通工具的相互撞击，未体现撞车的力量。
