问题 共用题干Tornadoes- The Power of the Nature

Mother nature bestows so much on mankind so that we can survive the cruelty of the environment,though sometimes,she'd like to give us some kind of test.
Tornadoes（龙卷风）and heavy thunderstorms rushed across the Great Lakes and into Trumbull County on Saturday evening. The storms were dramatic and dangerous.
George Snyder was riding the fire truck down Route 88 when he first noticed that a funnel（漏斗状的）cloud was behind him. "I stopped the truck and watched the funnel cloud. It was about 100 feet off the ground and I saw it go up and down for a while.It was moving toward Bradley Road and then suddenly it disappeared,"Snyder said.
Snyder only saw one of the funnel clouds that passed through northeastern Ohio on Saturday.In Trumbull County,a tornado turned trees onto their sides.Some trees fell onto houses and cars. Other trees fell into telephone and electrical wires as they went down.
Amanda Symcheck was having a party when the storm began."I knew something was wrong," she said."I saw the sky go green and pink（粉红色）.Then it sounded like a train rushing toward the house.I started crying and told everyone to go to the basement for protection."
The tornado caused a lot of damage to cars and houses in the area. It will take a long time and much money to repair everything. There was also serious water damage from the thunderstorms.The heavy rains and high wind caused the power to go out in many homes.
The storms caused serious flooding in areas near the river. More than four inches of rain fell in parts of Trumbull County.The river was so high that the water ran into streets and houses.Many streets had to be closed to cars and trucks because of the high water. This made it difficult for fire trucks,police cars,and other rescue vehicles to help people who were in trouble.
Many people who live near the river had to leave their homes for their own safety.Some people reported five feet of water in their homes.Local and state officials opened emergency shelters for the people who were evacuated（撤走）.The Red Cross served meals to them.
"This was a really intense storm,"said Snyder."People were afraid.Mother Nature can be fierce.We were lucky this time.No one was killed."George Snyder was a firefighter.A:Right        B:Wrong        C:Not mentioned
选项 George Snyder was a firefighter.
A:Right       
B:Wrong       
C:Not mentioned
答案 A
解析 本题给出的信息是错误的。依据是第二段第一句："Tornadoes（龙卷风） and heavy thunderstorms rushed across the Great Lakes and into Trumbull County on Saturday evening.”龙卷风和暴风雨刮过五大湖区并在星期六晚上来到特朗布尔县。题干中描述的：星期六晚上朗布尔县天气晴好，这与原文意思相悖，所以选B。
本题给出的信息是正确的。依据是第三段第一句："George Snyder was riding the fire truck down Route 88 when he first noticed that a funnel cloud was behind him." 乔治·斯奈德沿着88号公路驾驶消防车时，他第一次注意到在他背后有一个漏斗状的云。一般情况下，只有消防人员才能驾驶消防车，所以题干中描述的：乔治·斯奈德是一名消防队员，与原文相符，所以选A。
本题给出的信息是错误的。依据是第五段："Amanda Symcheck was having a party… I started crying and told everyone to go to the basement for protection.”从本句可知阿曼达参加的派对之前是在房子里举行的，因为龙卷风人们才转移到地下室。而题干的陈述：在风暴开始的时候，阿曼达·辛切克正参加一个在地下室举行的聚会。这个说法与原文不符，所以选B。
本题给出的信息是错误的。依据是第六段："The heavy rains and high wind caused the power to go out in many homes.”大雨和大风造成许多家庭断电。而题干的陈述：供电系统并未在暴风雨中被毁坏。这个说法与原文不符，所以选B。
文章没有谈到这方面的信息。
本题给出的信息是正确的。依据是第七段最后一句："This made it difficult for fire trucks,police cars,and other rescue vehicles to help people who were in trouble.”这也使前来帮助人们的消防车、警车和其他救援车辆陷入困境。与题干所描述的：救援车辆很难赶到人们身边，意思相符，所以选A。
文章没有谈到这方面的信息。
