Question

I shall never forget the day when the earthquake took place. The time was about 5 o’clock in the afternoon and I was driving along the road to take my daughter from school. Our plan was to go swimming together. I had finished my work at 4 o’clock and then gone to the Post Office. Then I’d stopped off at a shop in order to get some fresh fruit. We like to have some fruit to eat after our swim.

I was driving along a high road on my way to my daughter’s school. Over my road was another road which was built like a bridge for cars coming to the other way. I was hungry so I put the bag of apples in the seat beside me and started to eat one.

Suddenly I saw the cars in front of me start to move from side to side. Then my car started to shake! I didn’t know what was happening. Perhaps something had gone wrong with my car. I drove a little more slowly and then I stopped the car and at the same moment the road fell onto the cars in front of me.

I found myself in the dark. I couldn’t move. The bottom parts of both of my legs and my feet were hurting badly and I couldn’t move them. All around me was quiet. But above me I could hear shouts and a lot of noise. Then I memorized (记起) what had happened. I had been in an earthquake.

For about two hours nobody came. Luckily I could reach the bag of apples, so at least I had plenty to eat. Then I heard people climbing towards me. A team of people had come to see if anyone was under the broken road. I called out. “I’m here!” I heard a shout. Soon a stranger climbed to the side of the road near my car. “How are you doing?” he asked.

“Not too bad,” I said, “but my feet and leg feel as if they’re broken.” “We’ll have you out of there just as soon as we can.” They didn’t get me out until the next morning. I had been in my car for fourteen hours.

试题分析：

【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了我在路上行驶时遭遇了地震。地震发生时，我前面的车开始左右晃动，我把车停下来，结果上面的路塌下来。我的双腿无法动弹，最后有人把我救出。

1.D考查细节理解。根据文章第二段中的Over my road was another road which was built like a bridge for cars coming to the other way.可知，我在一个建的像桥一样的路的下面行驶。故选D。

2.C考查细节理解。根据文章第三段中的Suddenly I saw the cars in front of me start to move from side to side. Then my car started to shake!可知，突然我看到我前面的汽车开始左右晃动，我的车也开始摇晃。这证明地震发生了。故选C。

3.B考查细节理解。根据文章第四段中的I found myself in the dark. I couldn’t move. The bottom parts of both of my legs and my feet were hurting badly and I couldn’t move them.可知，我的腿的下部和脚严重受损，不能动弹。故B正确。A项和第一段中的I was driving along the road to take my daughter from school.内容不符，我要去学校届女儿，所以他们没在一起；C项和最后一段中的They didn’t get me out until the next morning. I had been in my car for fourteen hours.内容不符。他们第二天早上才把我救出。我车里待了14个小时；D项和文章第四段中的All around me was quiet. But above me I could hear shouts and a lot of noise. Then I memorized (记起) what had happened.内容不符。这表明地震时，他什么都清楚。
