单选题 {{B}}B{{/B}}
Kristy, 28, a cook in La Cross, often wondered what she'd do in a life-threatening situation. On August 29, 1997, she got hex answer. While she was driving on a road, a big truck hit its head on a pick-up car(敞篷小货车). {{U}}The pick-up burst into flames.{{/U}} Kristy rushed out and ran to the pick-up. Two farmers, Dean Bernhard, 51, and his brother Donald, 44, were inside, When she got close, Kristy could see the unconscious driver. The other man was under the passenger seat. Says Kristy, "The smells were sickening(令人作呕的). I was afraid the truck would blow up and kill us all."
The driver of the big truck was struggling to open the passenger door, so Kristy rushed to the driver's side. Finally they opened the door. She reached in, seized the driver and, to her horror, felt her hands sink into his chest. She quickly dragged the man to safety on the roadside, then hurried back. As Kristy stared down the ditch(沟) with the passenger, the pick-up blew up. She jumped on top of him and they both rolled to safety.
When the police arrived a while latex, Kristy started crying, "I want my mum." In fact she cried for the next three months. Today, the two farmers, each the father of two children, are good friends with Kristy. To show their deep appreciation, they bought her a ring with nine diamonds -- one for each member of their immediate families, and the, ninth for her.
单选题 In which order did Kristy do the following things? a. Carried Dean and Donald to safety, b. Rushed to the pick-up. c. Surprised herself, d. Saw the truck hit on the pick-up. e. Got out of her car. f. Wondered what she'd do in danger~
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】推理判断题。本题要求将文章中叙述的事实按照其发生的先后进行排序。通读全文可知,故事主人公Kristy先是不知道自己处于危险时该如何做(f),然后叙述了她遇上的一次危险经历。在这一经历中,她先是看到一辆汽车起火(d),然后她从车子里冲出来(e)跑向起火的汽车(b),在危险的情况下救出两个人(a),然后警察来了,她感到后怕并开始哭起来(c),等等,因此正确的排序就是[C]。
单选题 When coming to save Donald and Dean Beruhard, Kristy never thought that she ______.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】推理判断题。文章在描述Kristy救人的过程中,在第一段最后一句描述了她害怕自己丧生的心理,因此[C]是不对的;文章第一句即说她不知道自己处于险境时该怎么办,说明她是考虑过自己可能会处于险境的,因此[D]也不对;文章根本没有提及在救人时有无别人在场,所以[A]没有根据。只有[B]可以由文章合理推知,因为她只是尽力去救人,不会想到自己能把两个人都救出来,故是正确答案。
单选题 In the first paragraph we read: "The pick-up burst into flames." This sentence most likely means: ______.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】句意推测题。由该句后描述的场景与smells(气味)、blew up(爆炸)等及常识可以推知这里是指汽车着火了(否则就不会有气味并且后来爆炸)。burst into flames是个常用短语,指“着火,燃烧起来”。
单选题 Which of the following best shows Kristy's true heroism?
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】推理判断题。文章描述了Kristy不顾自身安危、尽力救人的经过,因此[C]最符合题意。其余三项都与文章描述的事实不符。
