Answer 1

答案：1．A;2．D;3．B;4．C;5．D;
解析：

(1)	主旨大意题。新闻报道的标题必须准确地反映报道的主要内容，本篇文章既然是报道火车出轨，答案应该是A项。
(2)	细节认定题。文章中提到了两次火车事故，这一次和4月份的一次。两次事故死亡的人数是：4＋107，所以答案为D项。
(3)	细节认定题。由支撑的细节为第二段的第一句话“Five cars of the six-car express train derailed Sunday evening, three of them topping onto their sides in Yamagata, ”可知答案为B项。
(4)	词义猜测题。从前面句子中提供的信息“Rescuers planned to lift the wreck”中的动词lift“抬起”，可以推知是看看是否还有没有遇难的人被埋在车厢的残骸下面，因为前面提到火车上到底有多少人不清楚。所以答案为C项。
(5)	细节认定题。从第五段第一句话中所提供的信息“it was not know what caused the derailment”可知，该火车出轨的原因还不清楚，所以答案为D。
