【答案解析】[听力原文]
   Rescue crews pulled a man to safety after a collapse at a construction site in Brooklyn on Tuesday. The incident happened on the 400 block of Rutland Road just after 12:30 p.m. The Fire Department of New York says the vacant 100-year-old building being pulled down partially collapsed. A man described as a "non-worker civilian" was buried up to his waist in the basement. The man was collecting building materials when the first floor collapsed underneath him. He was trapped under a beam about ten feet below the surface for nearly an hour and a half. The man was then taken to hospital. Officials said he is in stable condition with non-life threatening injuries.
   The building was reportedly purchased by a neighboring church in 2011. It was the site of a 2006 fire and has remained vacant ever since.
   What happened at a construction site in Brooklyn on Tuesday?
本题问周二在布鲁克林的一个建筑工地发生了什么。新闻开篇提到,周二布鲁克林的一个建筑工地发生塌方(a collapse at a construction site),救援队事后成功救出一名男子(pulled a man to safety)。由此可知A“一名男子在建筑塌方后被安全救出”与新闻内容相符,其中pulled to safety和collapse是新闻原词复现,故为答案。
   B“一条约十英尺长的横梁坍塌在地上”利用录音原词a beam about ten feet制造干扰,新闻说的是男子跌落十英尺深的地方,且被横梁困住,并未提及横梁的长度及其情况,故排除。被困于地下室的是a“non-worker civilian”,C“一名救援人员被困于地下室”属张冠李戴。新闻最后提到,这栋建筑是2006年那场火灾的现场,而题目问星期二发生的事情,答非所问,故排除D“一栋荒芜的百年老宅着火了”。
