Sullivan, while surveying a campground, felt that a cloud was 24 him, and tried all he could to run— but it got him anyway.
答案：(A) coming after
【句型】come after 固定片語「追趕」，表示他感覺一朵雲正在「追趕」他；getting over（克服）、holding on to（抓住不放）、watching out for（注意/提防，這裡需要的是雲「追趕」他不是他「提防」雲）都不合。
come after 拆開看是「在……之後來」，所以容易理解成時間先後（B comes after A ＝ B 排在 A 後面）。它還有一個常考語意：追趕、追捕（某人），帶有威脅感——想像一個東西緊跟在你後面不放，就是這個畫面。
線索在前一句和本句。前一句寫第五次被擊中時 A storm cloud "chased" him until he was struck（一朵烏雲「追」著他，直到他被擊中），作者還特地給 chased 加了引號。本句 felt that a cloud was ___ him, and tried all he could to run（覺得一朵雲正在 ___ 他，於是拼命想跑）。前面用 chased、後面用 run，中間的空格只能是「追」。
getting over（克服；從病中康復）的受詞應該是困難或疾病；holding on to（緊抓不放）雖然也有不放手的意味，但那是抓住東西不鬆手，不是在後面追；watching out for（提防、留意）方向反了——句子的主詞是 a cloud，雲不會提防人。
come after sb（追趕、追捕某人）、go after sb／sth（追求、追捕）、chase（追逐）、get over（克服；康復）、hold on to（緊抓不放）、watch out for（提防、留意）。
Being hit by lightning is a rare event. Over the course of an 80-year life span, the odds of being hit by lightning are 1 in 3,000, 21 the probability of being struck seven different times. Roy Sullivan, a park ranger in the United States, was struck by lightning more recorded times than any other human being. Over his 36-year career, Sullivan was struck by lightning seven times—and 22 each shock!
Strikes one, two, and three were pure bad luck, he thought. But after strike four, Sullivan became 23 death and took precautions during lightning strikes. Strike five occurred in 1973 when Sullivan was on patrol. A storm cloud "chased" him until he was struck. The same thing happened again in 1976. Sullivan, while surveying a campground, felt that a cloud was 24 him, and tried all he could to run— but it got him anyway.
Finally, on 25 June 1977, a seventh and final bolt struck Sullivan as he was fishing in a pond. "I don't believe God is after me," he theorized. "If he was, the first bolt 25 enough. Best I can figure is that I have some chemical, some mineral, in my body that draws lightning. I just wish I knew."
