Conversation Two

W: This is Kerry Burke from New York Daily News. I’m speaking to Delroy Simmonds, an(13)unemployed Brooklyn man who missed a job interview Tuesday for the best of reasons: (12)He was saving the life of a 9-month-old boy who was blown into the path of an oncoming subway train by a high wind.

M: Everybody is making me out to be some sort of superhero. I’m just an ordinary person, and a father of two. Anybody in that situation would have done what I did.

W: You were going to an interview when the incident occurred, right?

M: Yes, I was on my way to apply for a maintenance position. I’ve been looking for a job for a year and more. I’m looking for something to support my family.

W: Tell us what happened at the station.

M: (14)There was a strong wind. It had to be 30 to 40 miles an hour. There was a woman with four kids. One was in a pushchair. The wind blew the baby onto the tracks.

W: Witnesses said people were looking on in horror as the child’s mother, identified by sources as Maria Zamara, (15)stood frozen in shock. In the distance, people could see the train rounding a bend, headed into the station. I guess you were not aware of any of these, right?

M: No. I just jumped down and grabbed the baby. The train was coming around the corner as I lifted the baby from the tracks. I really wasn’t thinking.

W: What an amazing story. Thank you very much.

14. What caused the incident?

解析:C。该题目为细节题。问题是:什么引发了此次事故?话题引导者提出了新的小话题:告诉我们在地铁站发生了什么?材料中女士说“Tell us what happened at the station.”,这位男士回答称“There was a strong wind. It had to be 30 to 40 miles an hour”,当时有强风。选项C)A strong wind,与原文信息完全一致。B选项中的pushchair是“婴儿车”,文章中出现了pushchair,但是没有出现“错放”(misplaced),以及 “the wind blow the baby onto the tracks”,风把婴儿吹到了轨道上,再次出现了wind。因此,此题目正确答案为C。
