U.S. officials have charged the mother of a young man. It is said that Tonya Couch and her son, Ethan fled to Mexico in November. Ethan Couch was wanted by U.S. officials for violating his punishment, in connection with a drunk-driving crash that killed four people two years ago.
    That crash happened when Couch was 16 years old and drunk. He crashed into a car that was on the side of the road. He was found guilty and sentenced to 10 years under observation.
    Mexico drove out the mother of the young man on Wednesday. She is charged with violating the punishment of her son. In other words, she is charged with helping her son flee to Mexico. If convicted, she could face between two and 10 years in jail.
    The mother and son were arrested on Monday in Puerto Vallarta on Mexico’s west coast. U.S. officials located the two when Ethan Couch used one of their phones to order pizza.
    It could be weeks before Ethan Couch is sent back to the United States.
5. How old was Ethan Couch when the drunk-driving accident happened?
6. Why was Tonya Couch charged by the U.S. officials?
7. Where were Tonya and Ethan arrested by the U.S. officials?
选项 A、Because she had a Mexican son.
B、Because she was involved in a drunk-driving crash.
C、Because she went to U.S. illegally.
D、Because she helped her son flee to Mexico.
答案 D
解析 选项均以Because开头，推断本题问原因。此外，根据drunk driving、illegally、flee等词，推测问题应该跟She做了什么不好的事有关。题目问Tonya Couch为何被美国警方指控。关键要听清Tonya Couch是谁，由录音开头提到的mother ofa young man和Tonya Couch and her son，可以判断出Tonya Couch就是这位被美国警方指控的母亲。录音中后段提到这位母亲被控协助其儿子逃到墨西哥(she is charged with．．．to Mexico)，D项基本复现了录音原词help her son flee toMexico，为本题答案。A项是利用录音中的Mexico编造的信息，录音中只说她儿子逃去墨西哥，没说他是墨西哥籍。B项“她涉及一宗醉驾撞车”，但造成酒驾撞车的并不是Tonya Couch，而是她儿子Ethan Couch。C项“她非法偷渡去美国”未在新闻中提到。
