问题 共用题干Mother Nature Shows Her Strength

Tornadoes（龙卷风）and heavy thunderstorms moved across the Great Lakes and into Trumbull County
on Saturday evening.The storms were dramatic and dangerous.
George Snyder was driving 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
onto telephone and electrical wires as thev 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.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:RightB:WrongC:Not mentioned
选项 George Snyder was a firefighter.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned
答案 A
解析 题干的意思与原文相反。原文第一段开头就讲到当时龙卷风和暴风雨滚滚而来。
原文第二段虽然没有直说George Snyder是干什么的，但提到他正开着消防车（fire truck)，由此可以推断他是消防员。
原文是说他们正在聚会，但不是在地下室里聚会。而是暴风雨来临后，他们跑到地下 室里躲藏。相关信息在第四段。
第五段最后一句说大风和暴雨使许多家庭的供电出现了问题，故选B。
此句的意思文章中根本没有提到，故选C。
此句的意思在倒数第三段最后一句提到了，故选A。
此句的意思文章中没有提到，故选C。
