譯文:
25年前,有著一個(gè)一歲大兒子的單身父親雷·安德森目睹了一場(chǎng)可怕的車禍。一名卡車司機(jī)在闖了紅燈之后撞上了桑德拉·詹肯斯的車。撞車導(dǎo)致桑德拉當(dāng)場(chǎng)死亡,但是她三個(gè)月大的女兒被困在了著火的車中。當(dāng)其他人都在驚恐地觀看時(shí),安德森從自己的車上跳下來,從撞碎的后車窗中鉆進(jìn)了那輛車,試圖將受困的嬰兒救出。幾秒后,車完全被火苗包圍了。但是,讓所有人大吃一驚的是,安德森竟將嬰兒救了出來。嬰兒毫發(fā)無傷,但安德森卻受了重傷。兩天之后,他離世了。但是,他的英雄事跡被媒體廣泛報(bào)道。他的兒子之后也被親戚領(lǐng)養(yǎng)了。
然而這個(gè)故事最精彩的部分直到上周才剛剛揭曉。當(dāng)卡倫和她的男友邁克爾收拾一些舊箱子時(shí),她們發(fā)現(xiàn)了一些舊的剪報(bào)?!斑@是我還是一個(gè)剛剛出生的嬰兒時(shí)的樣子。我被人從一輛著火的車?yán)锞攘顺鰜?但是我母親在車禍中去世了,”卡倫解釋說。盡管邁克爾知道卡倫的母親早些年已過世,但直到他瀏覽刊登在報(bào)紙上的文章時(shí),他才完全了解事件的真相。讓卡倫吃驚的是,邁克爾被這次事故報(bào)道的細(xì)節(jié)所吸引,然后開始不能自已地哭了。之后,他解釋說那名將卡倫從大火中救出來的男子就是他知之甚少的父親。兩人相擁而泣,給對(duì)方講述別人告訴他們的父母的故事。
解析:
奇聞?shì)W事記敘文。
29.C事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。原文提到...the driver of a truck ran a red light and collided with the car of Sandra Jenkens.The impact of the collision killed Sandra instantly...由此可知在事故中卡倫的媽媽當(dāng)場(chǎng)死亡,答案為C。
30.B事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。需要進(jìn)行概括。邁克爾的父親安德森英勇救出被困車內(nèi)的小女孩,自己卻負(fù)傷離世,獻(xiàn)出了寶貴的生命,本題涉及語義上的同義替換和概括,答案為B。
31.A推斷歸納題。尾句群出題。原文提到Michael was absorbed in the details of the accident and he began to cry uncontrollably.Then he revealed that the man that pulled Karen from the flames was the father he never knew.邁克爾哭泣的原因是那名將卡倫從大火中救出來的男子就是他不甚了解的父親,也就是那個(gè)報(bào)道中的英雄,所以答案是A。
