News Report One
【听力原文】
Six people had to move away from their home to another place after a fire broke out in a building on Main Street Saturday, officials said. Firefighters responded to the three-story building shortly after 1 p.m. for a reported structure fire, according to Norwalk Deputy Fire Chief Adam Markowitz.
Markowitz said crews encountered heavy smoke coming from the second floor when they arrived. A team of about 25 firefighters then spent about 25 minutes extinguishing the flames. Officials described the structure as a mixed-use building that features commercial businesses on the first floor and residential on the second and third floors.
Town records list four apartments in the building. Due to smoke and heat damage, the four apartments were declared uninhabitable, and the six residents had to move to another place, officials said. No injuries were reported in connection with the fire. The Norwalk Fire Marshal is investigating the cause and origin of the fire.
1.【选项释义】
Why did the six residents have to find another place to stay? 为什么这六位居民不得不另找住处?
A. Due to a fire alarm in their apartments. A. 因为他们公寓里响起了火警警报。
B. Because of the smoke and heat damage. B. 因为烟雾和高温造成的损坏。
C. Due to the water used to extinguish the flames. C. 因为灭火时使用的水。
D. Because of the collapse of the three-story building. D. 因为这栋三层楼的建筑倒塌了。
【答案】B
【解题思路】原文中提到Due to smoke and heat damage, the four apartments were declared uninhabitable, and the six residents had to move to another place(由于烟雾和高温造成的损坏,这四间公寓被宣布为不适宜居住,这六位居民因此不得不搬走),明确指出造成居民搬离的直接原因是烟雾和高温造成的损坏。因此B选项“因为烟雾和高温造成的损坏。”正确。
【干扰项排除】
A选项“因为他们公寓里响起了火警警报。”,原文中确实提到了火灾发生,但并没有说火警警报响起是居民搬离的原因;
C选项“因为灭火时使用的水。”,原文提到消防员用了25分钟灭火,但没有说水造成了房屋无法居住;
D选项“因为这栋三层楼的建筑倒塌了。”,原文提到的是这是一栋混合用途建筑,并没有任何地方提及倒塌。
第2题:
2.【选项释义】

C. Rescuing the businessmen trapped in the building. C. 正在营救被困在建筑物中的商人。

【答案】A
【解题思路】原文中提到The Norwalk Fire Marshal is investigating the cause and origin of the fire.(诺沃克消防局监察官正在调查火灾的起因和源头。),明确指出消防局监察官正在做的是调查火灾的原因。因此A选项“正在调查事故原因。”正确。
【干扰项排除】
B选项“正在协助寻找犯罪嫌疑人。”,原文没有提到任何与犯罪、嫌疑人或警方相关的内容;
C选项“正在营救被困在建筑物中的商人。”,原文提到没有人员受伤,也未提到有人被困;
D选项“正在查阅有关房地产开发商的市政记录。”,文中虽提到市政记录列出四套公寓,但这并非消防局监察官的工作内容。
