英語四級聽力原文:
Twenty-five years ago, Ray Anderson, a single parent with a one-year-old son, was returning home at Christmas Eve when he witnessed [29]a horrible accident. The driver of a truck ran a red light and hit the car of Sandra Jenkins. That killed Sandra instantly, but her three-month-old daughter was trapped upside down in the burning wreckage. While others looked on in horror, Anderson jumped out of his vehicle and [30]crawled into the car through the shattered rear window to try to free the infant. Seconds later, the car was totally engulfed in flames, but Anderson was miraculously able to pull the baby to safety. While the child came out of the accident virtually uninjured, Anderson was bleeding massively over half of his body. Two hours later, Anderson died, but his heroic act was published widely in the media. Anderson's son was soon adopted by relatives, and the family moved to the East Coast.
What really drew the public attention was some other details beyond the accident. According to the newspaper, Anderson was on a mission of love that fateful Christmas Eve in the process of [31]distributing care packages to needy families in the area. That was a yearly tradition that he [31]performed unbeknownst to everyone. This he did because of his firm conviction that the best Christmas gifts came not from the gift received, but from those given, and that those acts of charity should [29]remain anonymous. As it turns out, Sandra Jenkins was also involved in similar volunteer work throughout the community.
Merry Christmas! Share this remarkable Christmas story with all of you, courage, life, and love.
Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. What event did Ray Anderson witness at the beginning of the story?
正確答案:D
解析:短文說,Ray Anderson目睹卡車司機闖紅燈撞了另一輛車。故答案是D。從選擇可猜測題目與某起災(zāi)難有關(guān)。仔細(xì)聽錄音即可準(zhǔn)確作答。
30. How did Ray save the baby?
正確答案:B
解析:短文說,Ray通過破了的后車窗爬進車內(nèi)把嬰兒救出來。故答案是B。He選項題,四個選擇是動作描寫,猜測題目與男子如何救嬰兒有關(guān)。選項中的動詞在原文中有出現(xiàn)。切記要查看是否有張冠李戴的情況。
31. What was Ray doing at the fateful Christmas Eve?
正確答案:C
解析:短文說,據(jù)報紙披露,Ray在向有需要的家庭派發(fā)愛心包裹。故答案是C。-ing選項題,一般問“正在做什么事”。由提示詞homeless, needy people, poor,猜測題目與某人做義工或善事有關(guān)。他是給有需要的陌生人送去圣誕禮物,所以排除B;沒有人知道他這樣做,也沒有朋友的參與,所以排除A;他是匿名進行的,所以排除D。
