A few months ago, millions of people in London heard alarms all over the town. Emergency services, the Fire Department, the Police, hospitals. And ambulances stood by, ready to go into action. In railway and underground stations, people read notices and maps, which told them where to go and what to do in an emergency. This was Exercise Flood Call, to prepare people for a flood emergency. London wasn’t flooded yet, but it is possible that it would be. In 1236 and in 1663, London was badly flooded. In 1928, people living in Westminster, the heart of London, drowned in floods. And in 1953, one hundred people, living on the eastern edge of the London suburbs were killed again in floods. At last, Greater London Council took action to prevent this disaster from happening again. Though a flood wall was built in the 1980s, Londoners still must be prepared for the possible disaster. If it happens, 50 underground stations will be under water. Electricity, gas and phone services will be out of action. Roads will be submerged. It will be impossible to cross any of the bridges between North and South London. Imagine: London will look like the famous Italian city, Venice. But this Exercise Flood Call didn’t cause panic among Londoners. Most people knew it was just a warning. One lady said, "It’s a flood warning, isn’t it? The water doesn’t look nigh to me."
选项
A、Most Londoners took Exercise Flood Call calmly.
B、Most Londoners were frightened.
C、Most Londoners became rather confused.
D、Most Londoners complained about the trouble caused by Exercise Flood Call.
答案
A
解析
语义理解题。文章结尾表明了伦敦人民的态度,从“it was just a warning”,“The water doesn’t look high to me”可以看出人们将很平静地对待洪水。因此答案为A。
