Question

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Any car accident is frightening, but an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water, with you trapped inside, is absolutely(绝对地) terrifying.

1.    . However, most deaths result from fear, without a plan or understanding what is happening to the car in the water. By adopting a brace(支撑) position, acting decisively and getting out fast, you can save yourself from a sinking vehicle.

Brace yourself for impact (撞击力). As soon as you're aware that you're going off th e road and into a body of water, adopt a brace position. The impact could set off the airbag system in your vehicle, so you should place both hands on the steering wheel(方向盘) in the "ten and two" position.

Undo your seatbelt.    2.    . Release the children, starting with the oldest first. Forget the cell phone call. Your car isn't going to wait for you to make the call.

3.     . Leave the door alone at this stage and concentrate on the  window. A car's electrical system should work for up to three minutes in water, so try the method of opening it electronically first. Many people don't think about the window as an escape choice either because of fear or misinformation about doors and sinking.

Break the window. If you aren't able to open the window, or it only opens halfway, you'll need to break it with an object or your foot. It may feel counter-intuitive (有悖常理的) to let water into the car.   4.    .

Escape when the car has equalized. If it has reached the stage where the car has been filled with water and it has become balanced, you must move quickly and effectively to ensure your survival.     5.   . While there is still air in the car, take slow, deep breaths and focus on what you're doing.

A. Open the window as soon as you hit the water.

B. This is the first thing to do, yet it often gets forgotten.

C. Surviving a sinking car is not as difficult as you think.

D. In short, if you know what to do in the water, you will be safe.

E. It takes 60 to 120 seconds for a car to be filled with water usually.

F. Such accidents are particularly dangerous to the risk of drowning(淹死).

G. But the sooner the window is open, the sooner you can escape directly through it.

【解析】

试题分析：本文为说明文，主要介绍了当遇到汽车掉入水中时，人们应该如何应对。

1.F考查句意理解和上下文串联。空格前的“an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water”与F项中的“Such accidents”对应，而空格处句子与空格后一句为转折关系，故选F。

2.B考查句意理解和上下文串联。空格前句“Undo your seatbelt.”与B项中的“This is the first thing to attend to”对应，B项意为“这是首先要做的,但它经常被人遗忘。”故选B。

3.A考查句意理解和上下文串联。根据本段中的“concentrate on the window”和“Many people don't think about the window as an escape option either because of panic...”，A项意为“你一打水就打开窗菊”，符合语境，故选A。

4.G考查句意理解和上下文串联。首先空格前句与空格处为转折关系，本段仍旧围绕“window”进行阐述，G项所表达的意思为打开窗户逃生，与本段主旨一致，故选G。

5.考查句意理解和上下文串联。空格前的“car cabin has been filled with water”与E项中的“fill up with water”对应，而E项所表达的意思也与空格后的“While there is still air in the car”相关联，故此题选E。

考点：考查信息匹配能力。

【名师点睛】

信息匹配题主要要求学生对文章大意的理解以及上下文的联系能力。

首先，要根据空格前后的关键性的词句来对选项进行筛选。如：小题3，根据本段中的“concentrate on the window”和“Many people don't think about the window as an escape option either because of panic...”，A项意为“你一打水就打开窗菊”，符合语境，故选A。

其次就是要求学生利用逻辑关系等对上下文分析进行答题。如：小题1，空格前的“an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water”与F项中的“Such accidents”对应，而空格处句子与空格后一句为转折关系，故选F。

这种匹配类的题目，主要锻炼学生的眼里，所以平时学生要加强对文章的阅读。
