Question

There was a pilot and four people in a small plane. Suddenly there was something wrong with the machine while it was flying in the air. The plane began to fall down. The pilot told the people there were only four parachutes (降落伞). They all became worried and started to make excuses.

“I must go,” said the pilot, taking one of the parachutes and jumped out. The first person stood up, “I’m a doctor,” he said. “I help people live longer and I save lives.” He took a parachute and jumped out.

The next person said, “I must have a parachute. I am a very clever person. I have to attend an important match. I know I will win the game because I’ll be the cleverest person there.” He picked up a pack and jumped out.

Two men were left---an old businessman and a young mountain climber. At this time the plane was going down fast. The businessman said, “ Young man, I am old but you are still young. You take the last parachute.” The young mountain climber smiled. “Don’t worry,” He said. “ We can both jump out because there are still two parachutes. Just now the clever man jumped out with my backpack.”

【解析】

1.本题主要从第一段来判断，第一飞机坏掉了，从“there was something wrong with the machine while it was flying in the air. The plane began to fall down”可以看出，第二，一共有五个人，但只有4个跳伞，不够可以从“The pilot told the people there were only four parachutes (降落伞). They all became worried and started to make excuses.”可以看出。故选答案为C

2.根据文章内容最后一段Just now the clever man jumped out with my backpack.可知答案为C

3.根据文章内容最后一段的内容Two men were left---an old businessman and a young mountain climber. At this time the plane was going down fast. The businessman said, “ Young man, I am old but you are still young. You take the last parachute.”可知答案为D，是这个商人考虑到别人，可知答案为D

4.根据整篇文章的内容可知，尤其是最后一段，只有这个商人考虑到别人，因此他是心肠最好的的人，符合题意。

考点：本篇文章为记叙文，记叙的是五个人只有四个跳伞的故事，故事反应了各种人在危机面前的表现。
