A man was arrested on suspicion of attempting to carry explosives through a security checkpoint at an airport, authorities said. (1)Trey Scott Atwater was taken into prison Saturday morning after Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents spotted what they described as a suspicious item. The item was in his carry-on during X-ray screening at a security checkpoint at the airport, an FBI spokesman said in a statement. Neither the FBI nor the TSA identified the explosives, though an airport spokeswoman said the items were "wrapped in military grade wrapping" and are in the possession of the police. (2)At no time was there any danger to the people at the airport. The airport terminal was temporarily closed while authorities "conducted a sweep, and deemed all clear," said a city spokeswoman. Atwater has been arrested on a federal count of attempting to get on an aircraft with an explosive.
1. Who found the suspicious item at the airport?
2. What do we learn about the airport from the news report?
选项 A、At present, the airport was in great danger.
B、The airport was still open temporarily afterwards.
C、There was a thorough search outside the airport.
D、Passengers at the airport were safe and sound.
答案 D
解析 D“机场乘客安然无恙”对应录音中的at no time was there any danger，故选D。新闻中提到，可疑物现在警方手中(in the possession of the police)，所以机场现在并不是处于危险状态，A错误。新闻还提到机场临时关闭(temporarily closed)候机楼，对机场内部进行全面彻底的搜查(conducted a sweep)，故B“候机楼稍后仍保持开放状态”和C“对机场外部进行了彻底搜查”与新闻内容相反。
