What does the news item say about the flood in the United States?
Flooding along the Mississippi River has ruined crops, damaged farmland and delayed barge traffic in parts of the southern United States. Officials say diversion of some of the water through spillways in Louisiana, though, eventually will ease the flow and help speed the return to normalcy. Closings of some sections of the river are considered only temporary.
The U.S. Coast Guard has shut some small stretches of the Mississippi River to barge traffic in recent days and has allowed only one barge at a time to pass through the stretch of river near Vidalia, Louisiana, where levees are close to being topped. The passage of the barges produces a wake that can cause water to splash over the levees, making local residents anxious about their property.
选项
A、Flood only occurred in parts of Louisiana.
B、Flood along the Mississippi River caused casualties.
C、Flood in Louisiana was the most serious.
D、The flood could be under control soon.
答案
D
解析
本题问及美国的洪水状况。新闻指出,密西西比河一带遭遇洪水,很多庄稼和农田被毁,美国南部部分地区的驳船延误。官员们认为可以通过路易斯安那州的溢洪道缓解水流量,使水流速度恢复正常。故正确答案是D。
