51. A. windows B. outdoors C. openings D. exits

答案选D.

根据后文"Their only thought is to get out of the building fast."可知人们是想逃出建筑物，所以应该是涌向“出口”。

52. A. on the other hand B. by the way C. sooner or later D. as a result

答案选A.

on the other hand“另一方面”，前文讲建筑物里的人要逃出来，这是一个方面，本句话讲消防员要冲进去，所以是另一方面。

答案选B.

火灾的爆发是break out，固定用法。

根据后文"Women and children formed another line"可知此处横线上应该是line.

答案选B.

本句意思是“许多房屋在火被扑灭之前就倒塌了”，所以用介词before.

58. A. kept B. caught C. came D. put

答案选C.

come up with固定搭配，“想出”。
