【详解】句意：如果你必须回家，至少要等到大雨停下来。
考查从属连词辨析。till直到……为止，引导时间状语从句；though尽管，引导让步状语从句；if如果，引导条件状语从句；since自从……，引导时间状语从句，主句常用现在完成时，从句常用一般过去时。根据“If you must leave for home, at least wait...the heavy rain stops.”可知，句子为if引导的条件状语从句，排除C，外面下雨了，要回家，可推测此处是至少等雨停为止，即直到大雨停了为止，空处需填从属连词，引导时间状语从句，排除B，且从句时态为一般现在时，从属连词till“直到……为止”符合语境。故选A。
2．C

32．句意：他住在农村。根据空格前后可知，时态为一般现在时。由于主语是He，所以动词使用第三人称单数形式lives。故填 lives。
33．句意：一天当布郎先生正开着车沿着街道行驶，车内音乐很大声，他看见一些孩子正四处跑。while引导状语从句，表示某个动作正在进行时，又发生了另一个动作。所以这一空应是过去进行时，所给词drive，主语是Mr Brown，故填was driving。

38．句意：刚才他从轮椅上跌落。根据“just now”可知，时态为一般过去时，fall的过去式为fell。故填fell。
39．句意：在听完她的话之后，布朗先生把男孩抬起放到轮椅上。介词After后加动名词，故填hearing。
40．句意：布朗先生保存着凹痕，为了提醒他不要快速地走过一生。空格上应是非谓语动词to remind表达目的。故填to remind。
