The Santa Ana appeals court upheld an earlier jury verdict awarding $ 3. 2 million in damages to Alexis Sarti who suffered serious nerve damage after a food poisoning episode at a restaurant. 【R1】______
In April 2005, Sarti ate raw tuna at the Salt Creek Grille restaurant. Afterwards, she suffered from sudden paralysis and double vision. She spent the next 49 days in the hospital, and had to drop out of college for more than a year and a half after the food poisoning incident, for medical care and therapy.
【R2】______Muscles and spasms bother her on a daily basis, although she says she’s used to these now. She has recovered somewhat since then. But strenuous activity is out of the question, and what’s worse, she expects her situation to deteriorate as she gets older.
Sarti filed a lawsuit against the restaurant, and claimed cross contamination of the tuna with a form of bacteria that exists in raw poultry. 【R3】______The verdict was set aside by Superior Court Judge Derek W. Hunt. The 4th District Court of Appeal in Santa Ana has now overturned Judge Hunt’s ruling.
In delivering his decision, Judge Hunt said he was constrained by a 35-year-old appellate decision that prohibits juries from assuming that cross contamination in the restaurants was the result of faulty practices or handling.
The Santa Ana appeals court seems to have disregarded that older appellate decision. 【R4】______It has been cited for improper food storage, cross contamination and incorrect handling on three separate instances.
It was clear that the negligent food handling practices at this restaurant were responsible for a deadly cross contamination that resulted in Sard’s food poisoning. 【R5】______Still, she has incurred more than a million dollars worth of medical bills, and expects to need more medical care in the future.
A. At the trial, Sarti’s attorneys argued that Salt Creek Grille has a record of poor handling practices in its kitchens.
B. Sarti said medical bills totaled about $ 1 million and she wants to put aside another $ 1 million for future expenses.
C. Sarti insists that the victory is a moral, rather than monetary one.
D. Once a high school cross country runner, Sarti today is unable to take part in sports like running, or other forms of extreme physical activity.
E. It’s a milestone decision that can now be cited across other food poisoning lawsuits.
F. A jury handed down a verdict for $ 3. 2 million, and Salt Creek Grille, which also has branches in New York and New Jersey, appealed. [br] 【R5】
选项
答案
C
解析
本题的突破口在空格后一句的语义:不包括今后的治疗,受害者Sarti目前已经承受了一百多万美金的医疗费用。这句隐含的语义是她这次胜诉与其说是金钱方面的胜诉,不如说是道义上的胜利。
