Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

Any car accident is frightening, but an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water, with you trapped inside, is absolutely terrifying. 【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. 【2】 Untie the children, starting with the oldest first. Forget the cell phone call. Your car isn't going to wait for you to make the call.

【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 counter-intuitive (有悖常理的) to let water into the car. 【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. 【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

【答案】

【1】D

【2】F

【3】A

【4】G

【5】C

【解析】

試題分析：本文為說明文，主要介紹了當遇到汽車掉入水中時，人們應該如何應對。

【1】D空格前的“an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water”與D項中的“Such accidents”對應，而空格處句子與空格后一句為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故選擇D項。

【2】F空格前句“Undo your seatbelt.”與F項中的“This is the first thing to attend to”對應，故選擇F項。

【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。

【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”進行闡述，G項所表達的意思為打開窗戶逃生，與本段主旨一致，故選擇G項。

【5】C空格前的“car cabin has been filled_with_water”與C項中的“fill up with water”對應，而C項所表達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。

【名師點評】在答題中，應首先略讀一下短文，了解一下短文的大致意思，然后把幾個選項含義理解透，尤其注意意思相近，表達有交叉的選項之間的區(qū)別。然后再細讀短文，把答案填入合適位置。答題時可以把含義相近的幾個選項輪流填入同一處位置，反復閱讀，反復體會，找出最佳選項，對于實在沒有把握的小題可以留待最后完成。完成短文后，再認真通讀一遍全文，看看上下語意是否通順，是否符合邏輯關(guān)系
