2．D 单词指代题。由前半句“Bill's father told us to get up and we quickly got out of the tent and ran to the car”可知which在此是指“汽车”。故选D。

4．D 推理判断题。由第四段最后一句“That's why we always take a bottle of vinegar with us.”可知A项错误；由第二段第一、二句“Broome is a town in the north of Western Australia. It has a population of about 12，000”可知B项错误；由第三段第三句“We drive to Cable Beach and look for a quiet place to swim or to fish.”可知C项错误；由第五段第四句“Suddenly, at 3 o'clock in the morning, we felt something pulling on our tent.”以及文章最后一句“In the light, we could see a big crocodile pulling the tent into the river！”可确定凌晨三点时鳄鱼正在拖我们的帐篷。故选D。
