As he got up to investigate, he heard another sound, this one ing most definitely from outside. Looking out of his bedroom window, he noticed a tree enveloped in smoke about 500 yards away. A car wrapped around the tree39。s base, its engine on fire. Grabbing buckets of water, he and his wife ran to the crash site. Up close, the accident looked worse. The car was split nearly in two, and the tree was where the driver39。s seat ought to have been, as if planted there. No one should have survived this crash, and yet there was 20 yearold Quintin Thompson, his terrified face pressed against the driver39。s side window, in visible pain. Languell tried putting out the fire with his buckets of water but failed. When the flames got into the front seats, he knew he had to get the young man out. So Languell opened the car39。s back door and climbed in. Using a pocket knife he39。d brought with him, he cut through Thompson39。s seat belt. Now that Thompson was free, Languell pulled him out, and dragged him to safety before the entire car was in flames. It is empathy that drove Languell to help, just as he said, My heart goes out to Thompson. When you are that close to that level of hurt, you feel it so directly. For his heroic action, Languell was added to the list of reallife heroes changing the world.(1)Where was the first sound actually from? house on fire. car crash. bedroom window. basement.(2)What do we know about Quintin Thompson? saved his car from fire. was successfully rescued. remained calm all the time. was capable of helping himself out.(3)Which of the following best explains empathy underlined in the last paragraph? ....(4)Which words can best describe Damian Languell? and generous. and grateful. and noble. and reliable.【答案】 (1)B(2)B(3)C(4)C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文,Damian Languell勇敢地救出了一起車禍中的幸存者Quintin Thompson,因為他的英勇行為,Languell被列入了現(xiàn)實生活中改變世界的英雄名單。 (1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“The sound that woke Damian Languell at 8:15 in the morning was so loud he assumed it came from inside his house in Wade, Maine.”清晨8點15分, Damian Languell被吵醒的聲音太大了,以至于他以為那聲音是從緬因州Wade的家中傳出來的;以及“A car wrapped around the tree39。s base, its engine on fire.”一輛汽車繞在樹的底部,發(fā)動機著火了,可推知,第一個聲音實際上是車禍發(fā)出的。故選B。 (2)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Now that Thompson was free, Languell pulled him out, and dragged him to safety before the entire car was in flames.”現(xiàn)在Thompson自由了,Languell把他拉了出來,在整輛車起火之前把他拉到安全的地方,可知,Quintin Thompson成功獲救。故選B。 (3)考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)最后一段中的“My heart goes out to Thompson. When you are that close to that level of hurt, you feel it so directly.”我很同情湯普森。當你接近那種程度的傷害時,你會直接感受到)可推知,正是這種同情心促使Languell伸出援手的,可知,劃線單詞意思為“同情心”。故選C。 (4)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“So Languell opened the car39。s back door and climbed in. Using a pocket knife he39。d brought with him, he cut through Thompson39。s seat belt. Now that Thompson was free, Languell pulled him out, and dragged him to safety before the entire car was in flames.”他用隨身攜帶的小刀割斷了Thompson的安全帶。現(xiàn)在Thompson自由了,Languell把他拉了出來,在整輛車起火之前把他拉到安全的
