Mother Nature Shows Her Strength

Tornadoes(龙卷风)and heavy thunderstorms moved across the Great Lakes and into Trumbull County on Saturday evening. The storms were dramatic and dangerous.
George Snyder was driving the fire truck down Route 88 when he first noticed that a funnel(漏斗状的)cloud was behind him. "I stopped the truck and watched the funnel cloud. It was about 100 feet off the ground and I saw it go up and down for a while.It was moving toward Bradley Road and then suddenly it disappeared."Snyder said.
Snyder only saw one of the funnel clouds that passed through northeastern Ohio on Saturday.In
Trumbull County,a tornado turned trees onto their sides.Some trees fell onto houses and cars.Other trees fell into telephone and electrical wires as they went down.
Amanda Symcheck was having a party when the storm began."I knew something was wrong," he said. "I saw the sky go green and pink(粉红色).Then it sounded like a train rushing toward the house.I started crying and told everyone to go to the basement for protection."
The tornado caused a lot of damage to cars and houses in the area.It will take a long time and much money to repair everything. There was also serious water damage from the thunderstorms.The heavy rains and high wind caused the power to go out in many homes.
The storms caused serious flooding in areas near the river. More than four inches of rain fell in parts of Trumbull County.The river was so high that the water ran into streets and houses.Many streets had to be closed to cars and trucks because of the high water. This made it difficult for fire trucks,police cars,and other rescue vehicles to help people who were in trouble.Many people who live near the river had to leave their homes for their own safety.Some people reported five feet of water in their homes.Local and state officials opened emergency shelters for the people who were evacuated(撤走).The Red Cross served meals to them.
"This was a really intense storm,"said Snyder."People were afraid.Mother Nature can be fierce.We were lucky this time.No one was killed".

选项 Amanda Symcheck was having a party in the basement when the storm began.
A:Right       
B:Wrong       
C:Not mentioned

答案B

解析题干:星期六傍晚,特朗布尔县天气很好。题干意思与原文相反。原文第一段上来就讲到当时龙卷风和暴风雨同时来了。
题干:乔治?斯奈德是位消防员。原文虽然没有直说他是干什么的,但提到他正开着消防车(fire truck),由此可以推断他是消防员。
题干:暴风雨来临时Amanda Symcheck与别人正在地下室里聚会。原文是说他们正在聚会,但没说在地下室里聚会,而是说暴风雨来临后,他们跑到地下室里躲藏。
题干:暴风雨中供电系统没遭到破坏。第五段最后一句说大风和暴雨使一些家庭的供电出现了问题,与题干内容相互矛盾,故选B。
题干:一百年来,特朗布尔县还没有遇到过如此大的暴风雨。此句的意思在文章中没有提到,故选C。
题干:救援车辆费了很大劲才把人救出来。此句的意思在倒数第二段第五句提到了,故选A。
题干:暴风雨中有几个人失踪了。此句的意思在文章中没有提到,故选C。
