Question

The 30-mile road that runs through the mountains of Willie Valley makes most drivers′ hands sweat. But Andersen, a 46-year-old father of four, wasn’t expecting any trouble on the road last New Year’s Eve, when he set off for a ski trip to the Bear Mountains with nine-year-old daughter Mia, four-old son Baylor, and nine-year-old neighbor Kenya. Andersen had driven through the Valley hundreds of times over the years.
The weather was fine. But the higher they drove, the more slippery the road became. Rounding a sharp U-turn, Andersen saw a heavy truck off the road and immediately hit his brakes. In a minute, the car was going at 25 miles per hour down the mountain before falling down from a ten-foot dam into the extremely cold Logan River.
The crash had broken a few windows, and within seconds, the car was filled with water. “It was frightening that we were going fast into deep water,” remembers Andersen, a soft-spoken manager.
Having lost all sense of direction, Andersen began to search the freezing water for the kids. Mia had been right next to him in the front seat; now, in the blackness, he couldn’t find her. “I thought, if I don’t get out, maybe none of us are going to get out.” Andersen got out of his seat belt, swam through a broken window, and, deeply and quickly, breathed air at the surface. That’s when he saw a group of men, about ten in all, appear at the top of the dam. One after another, they rushed down into the water. Helping onto safety all the three children, they began to shout at the father, “Who else is in the car？”
Andersen says respectfully, “It was like the sight of angels.”

試題分析：文章大意：新年前夜安德森開車帶著三個孩子去滑雪之旅途中，在危險地段，由于緊急剎車，車子跌入河中。安德森忙于救三個孩子，結(jié)果三個孩子已經(jīng)被一群人救上岸。
1.C 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段第二句Andersen saw a heavy truck off the road and immediately hit his brakes.說明引起汽車事故的主要原因是安德森的緊急剎車，看到重型卡車是事故發(fā)生的原因之一，但非主要原因。故C正確。
2.A 推理題。根據(jù)文章第一段最后一句Andersen had driven through the Valley hundreds of times over the years.在過去的許多年安德森已經(jīng)開車穿過峽谷成千上百次，可以推測出安德森對那里的道路很熟悉，故A正確。
3.D 推理題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段最后一句Helping onto safety all the three children, they began to shout at the father, “Who else is in the car？”可以知道三個孩子已經(jīng)被一群陌生人安全救上岸了。故D正確。
4.C 推理題。the sight of angel指“天使之眼”，可以推測安德森還不敢相信三個孩子已經(jīng)被救上岸，因此是懷疑的，故B正確。
5.A主旨大意題。本文主要描述安德森在危及關(guān)頭忙于救孩子，但沒有注意到孩子已經(jīng)被一群陌生人安全救上岸。說明在危及關(guān)頭應(yīng)當(dāng)保持鎮(zhèn)定，故A正確。
