Question

Any car accident is frightening, but an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water, with you trapped inside, is absolutely terrifying.__小題1:__ However, most deaths result from panic, without a plan or understanding what is happening to the car in the water.By adopting a brace(支撐) position, acting decisively and getting out fast，you can save yourself from a sinking vehicle.
Brace yourself for impact(撞擊力)．As soon as you're aware that you're going off the road and into a body of water，adopt a brace position.The impact could set off the airbag system in your vehicle，so you should place both hands on the steering wheel in the  “ten and two” position.
Undo your seatbelt.__小題2:__ Unbuckle the children，starting with the oldest first.Forget the cellphone call.Your car isn't going to wait for you to make the call.
_小題3:_ Leave the door alone at this stage and concentrate on the window.A car's electrical system should work for up to three minutes in water，so try the method of opening it electronically first.Many people don't think about the window as an escape option either because of panic or misinformation about doors and sinking.
Break the window.If you aren't able to open the window，or it only opens halfway，you'll need to break it with an object or your foot.It may feel counter­intuitive(有悖常理的) to let water into the car._小題4:__
Escape when the car has equalized.If it has reached the dramatic stage where the car cabin has been filled with water and it has become balanced，you must move quickly and effectively to ensure your survival._小題5:__ While there is still air in the car，take slow，deep breaths and focus on what you're doing.

A．Open the window as soon as you hit the water.

B．Surviving a sinking car is not as difficult as you think.

C．It takes 60 to 120 seconds for a car to fill up with water usually.

D．Such accidents are particularly dangerous to the risk of drowning.

E．In conclusion，if you know what to do in the water，you will be safe.
F．This is the first thing to attend to，yet it often gets forgotten in the panic.
G．But the sooner the window is open，the sooner you can escape directly through it.

Answer 1

小題1:D
小題2:F
小題3:A
小題4:G
小題5:C

本文為說明文，主要介紹了當(dāng)遇到汽車掉入水中時(shí)，人們應(yīng)該如何應(yīng)對(duì)。
小題1:D　空格前的“an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water”與D項(xiàng)中的“Such accidents”對(duì)應(yīng)，而空格處句子與空格后一句為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故選擇D項(xiàng)。
小題2:F　空格前句“Undo your seatbelt.”與F項(xiàng)中的“This is the first thing to attend to”對(duì)應(yīng)，故選擇F項(xiàng)。
小題3:A　根據(jù)本段中的“concentrate on the window”和“Many people don't think about the window as an escape option either because of panic...”可知選擇A項(xiàng)。
小題4:G　首先空格前句與空格處為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，本段仍舊圍繞“window”進(jìn)行闡述，G項(xiàng)所表達(dá)的意思為打開窗戶逃生，與本段主旨一致，故選擇G項(xiàng)。
小題5:C　空格前的“car cabin has been filled with water”與C項(xiàng)中的“fill up with water”對(duì)應(yīng)，而C項(xiàng)所表達(dá)的意思也與空格后的“While there is still air in the car”相關(guān)聯(lián)，故此題選擇C項(xiàng)。
