解析：

(1)	根据文意，特别是后面yet表示转折意义，可判断此处应选B项，表示“一切看上去都很正常”。
(2)	drop意为“滴下；落下”；fall意为“降落”；roll意为“翻滚；波动；起伏”；cover意为“覆盖”。根据句意应选C项，表示“乌云在空中翻滚着”。
(3)	suddenly意为“突然地”；strongly意为“强烈地”；quickly意为“迅速地”；hardly意为“几乎不”。根据上下文意义，应选A项。
(4)	beat意为“击打”；blind作为及物动词意为“使看不见；使目眩”；burn意为“燃烧”；touch意为“触摸”。该句描述当时闪电的情况，所以用blinding表示“耀眼的”。
(5)	根据当时的情景，雷声很大，所以选D项最佳，表示他双手抱头，以保护耳朵。
(6)	look up意为“抬头看”；wake up意为“唤醒；醒来”；lie down意为“躺下”；sit down意为“坐下”。根据情景“他听到了马蹄声”以及下文“An old man stared down at him from its back．”判断，应选A项。
(7)	根据第三段开头“Raul followed on his horse．”判断是一匹马。
(8)	根据文章看出，这位老人是来做好事的，前三项都是贬义词，所以答案为slowly。
(9)	根据下文“没有一个雨点落到他们的身边”判断，应是一种奇怪的感觉。
(10)	around表示“在……周围；在……四周”；beside表示“在……旁边”；through表示“穿过……”；above表示“在……上面”。由当时的情景判断应选A项。
(11)	前后两句意思对比，形成转折，所以选yet。
(12)	walk意为“步行”，而老人是骑马的，应排除；lead意为“带领”，而主语是they，不合逻辑；head意为“朝……前进”，正确；return不能和back连用。
(13)	“find＋反身代词＋介词短语”表示“发现自己处于某种情况”，此处指“发现自己已到了牧场门口”。
(14)	根据当时的情景，老人已完成了自己的任务，调转马头要离开，所以用waved表示“挥手(告别)”。
(15)	gone可作表语，表示“离去了；不见了”；left表示“剩余的”；followed表示“被跟随的”；lost表示“丢失的”。根据句意应选A项。
(16)	根据情景，父亲见到儿子在雷电交加的情况下归来，当然是“迎上前去”问长问短。
(17)	be worried about表示“担心……”。
(18)	在下雨的情况下，应选rain。
(19)	believe意为“相信；认为”；consider意为“思考；考虑”；doubt意为“怀疑”；forget意为“遗忘；忘记”。根据词义应选believe。
(20)	defeat意为“打败；战胜”；catch意为“抓住；捉住”；damage意为“毁坏(某物)”；strike意为“使100％遭受袭击”。根据句意应选D项。
