语法与词汇 7.The new measure will reduce the chance of serious injury in the event of an accident. The underlined part means______.(2013-74)

A、 if an accident happens
B、 if an accident can be prevented
C、 before an accident
D、 during an accident

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】此题考查in the event of sth．，意为“万一，倘若，如果……发生”，相当于in caseof sth．。in the event of an accident意为“如果发生意外”，故只有A选项符合句意。如：In the event of rain，the party will be held indoors．如果下雨，派对将在室内举行。还有句型in the event that sth．happens=in case sth．happens。
