A fire drill is, to put it mildly, an inconvenient exercise at the best of times. A fire drill at 2:00 in the morning in terrible weather conditions, like the one we had on Thursday night - Friday morning last, is incomparably more inconvenient. This is why writing this note to thank you all most sincerely for your excellent co-operation and the spirit with which you endured the inconvenience.
A fire drill is not an idle exercise. It is an extremely serious one and can, in fact, save lives in the long run. Last week’ s fire drill has already revealed a number of important things regarding fire precautions in the Hall. For instance, there seem to exist a number of "deaf spots" in the Hall, namely, the two rooms in Purser House and some rooms in the Bottom Corridor. I have no reason to doubt that residents from these areas could not hear the alarm. I shall request an immediate examination of this problem.
I should, also, remind you that it is a requirement that fire drills should be regularly carried out(at least two in every one year)and each resident should be made fully aware of this and obliged to take part. All residents must take fire precautions with the seriousness they deserve. Failure to do so can result in fines and expulsion(驱逐)from the Hall. Thank you again for your co-operation. [br] The phrase "in the long run"(Para. 2)means______.
选项
A、effectively
B、endlessly
C、eventually
D、efficiently
答案
C
解析
本题属于词汇语义题,提问的是第二段中的短语“in the long run”表示什么意思。根据文章第二段第一、二句话“A fire drill is not an idle exercise.It is an extremely serious one and can,in fact,save lives in the long run”,消防演习并不是闲极无聊的事,而是非常严肃的一件事情,事实上是能够救命的事情。这里显然是强调演习的结果,再加上短语本身的字面意思表达,故选项C)“最终;从长远来看”符合句意。而effectively“有效果地”,endlessly“无尽地”,efficiently“有效率地”均不符合句意。
