Authorities say everyone has been transferred from a luxury hotel in Dubai that was still burning early Friday. The city’s police chief says all residents were out of the 63-story hotel, known as "The Address." The hotel had been packed with people celebrating New Year’s Eve when fire broke out at about 9:30 p.m. At least 14 people were injured. The hotel stands across from the world’s tallest skyscraper, the Burj Khalifa. The Burj Khalifa is more than 800 meters tall. It is the center of spectacular fireworks along the Dubai water front for New Year’s. Fireworks went on as planned. Flames quickly moved through more than 20 stories of the hotel. It could be seen for kilometers in all directions. Within 30 minutes, flames raced to the top of the hotel tower, and the sky was full of thick black smoke. Burning pieces of the hotel fell to the ground from the tower. Witnesses said tens of thousands of people were crowded into the downtown area near the burning hotel and the Burj Khalifa Authorities in the United Arab Emirates said earlier Thursday that thousands of security personnel were on duty because of the New Year’s events.
5. What is the news report mainly about?
6. What do we learn about the fire from the news report?
7. What do we learn from the witnesses’ remark?
选项 A、It broke out at night.
B、It was put out within 30 minutes.
C、It burned down the whole building.
D、It was caused by the fireworks.
答案 A
解析 新闻中提到，起火时间约在晚上九点半(9：30 p．m．)，故A正确。新闻中有提到，30分钟火势仍继续，烧到了酒店的塔楼，故B说的“30分钟内被扑灭”不对。C“把整座酒店烧毁了”没有在新闻中提到，新闻中只是说“酒店的一些燃烧的碎片掉到地面”。虽然新闻中有提到，起火时在发焰火，但并没有说酒店的火灾是由引起的焰火引起的，D错误。
