Many years ago there was a huge oil refinery fire. Flames shot hundreds of feet into the air. The sky was thick with, black smoke. The heat was so intense that firefighters had to park their trucks a block away and wait for the heat to die down before they could begin to fight the fire. However, it was about to rage out of control.
Then, all of a sudden, from several block away came a tire truck racing down the street. With its brakes screeching,, it hit the curb in front of the fire. The firefighters jumped out and began to battle the blare. All the firefighters who were parked a block away saw this, and they jumped into their trucks, drove down the block and began to fight the fire, too. As a result of that cooperative effort, they were just barely able to bring the fire under control.
The people who saw this teamwork thought: "My goodness, the man who drove that lead fire track—what an act of bravery!" They decided to, give him a special award w recognize him for his bravery in leading the charge.
At the ceremony the mayor said, "Captain, we want to honour you for a fantastic act of bravery. You prevented the loss of property, perhaps even the loss of life. If there is one special thing you could have -- what would it be?"
Without hesitation, the captain replied, "Your Honour, a new set of brakes would be nice!"

语义题。见文章第——段的最后一句。可以根据该句的转折关系推导出前一句中短语的意思,即大火没能逐渐熄灭下来,反而更加凶猛难以控制。由此,可判断C选项是正确的。
