During a 1995 roof collapse, a firefighter named Donald Herbert was left brain damaged. For ten years, he was unable to speak.[20]Then, one Saturday morning, he did something that shocked his family and doctors. He started speaking. "I want to talk to my wife." Donald Herbert said out of the blue. Staff members of the nursing home where he has lived for more than seven years, raced to get Linda Herbert on the telephone. "It was the first of many conversations the 44-year-old patient had with his family and friends during the 14-hour stretch," Herbert’s uncle Simon Menka said. "How long have I been away?" Herbert asked. "We told him almost ten years," the uncle said, "he thought it was only three months." Herbert was fighting a house fire December 29, 1995, when the roof collapsed, burying him underneath. After going without air for several minutes,[21]Herbert was unconscious for two and a half months and has undergone therapy ever since. News accounts in the days and years after his injury, described Herbert as blind and with little, if any, memory. A video shows him receiving physical therapy but apparently unable to communicate and with little awareness of his surroundings.[22]Menka declined to discuss his nephew’s current condition or whether the apparent progress is continuing. "The family was seeking privacy while doctors evaluated Herbert", he said. As word of Herbert’s progress spread, visitors streamed into the nursing home. "He’s resting comfortably," the uncle told them.
19. What happened to Herbert ten years ago?
20. What surprised Donald Herbert’s family and doctors one Saturday?
21. How long did Herbert remain unconscious?

选项
A、He was able to talk again.

C、He could tell red and blue apart.
D、He could not recognize his wife.
答案
A
解析
文中提到,在一个星期六的早上,他(赫伯特)让他的家人和医生很吃惊,他又能开口讲话了。A项中的talk again是原文中的started speaking的同义转述。其他三项文中均未提及。
