Question

    It was the homecoming parade in Rockwall,Texas,and cheerleader Tyra Winters,was riding on the top of one of the school's floats(彩车）。As it slowly made its way down the wide road,the 17-year-old enthusiastically waved at the crowd,all the while soaking in the music,laughter,and applause.

All of a sudden.a horrific scream sounded.Looking down,Winters saw a two-year-old on the sidewalk gasping for air.his extremely worried mother begging for help.The boy,Clarke Hornback Lad been sucking on a piece of candy when it slid down the back of his mouth,lodging in his throat and blocking his windpipe.

＂I see a little bright red face and his mom's begging,Someone help me,someone help me.'"

Winters told KTVT."There was no coughing;there was no breathing,Clarke's mother,Nicole Homback,later told news station NBCDFW.He was just gasping for air."No one seemed to know how to help.

Except for Winters.A senior with dreams of becoming a pediatric surgeon,she had learned the Heimlich maneuver and CPR.Knowing that the clock was ticking,she leaped off the moving float and ran to the child.

By the time she got to Clarke,his face had turned purple."I got him!"she yelled to Nicole as she grabbed the boy from her."I tilted him and gave a good three back thrusts,"she told the local CBS station.

Soon,the boy coughed up the piece of candy,gasped,and began breathing again.Without another word,Winters handed Clarke back to his mother and ran back to her float before it could leave her behind.

It all happened so fast,Nicole never had time to thank the teen.Winters' s heroic actions left Nicole speechless."I don't really have any words,"she says."The words that you would say to anyone who does something for you is' thank you.' But that doesn't seem good enough."

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了勇敢果断的Tyra Winters救助了一个被糖果堵住气管的小男孩的感人故事

1.词义猜测题。从第二段中划线词所在句“The boy, Clarke Hornback Lad been sucking on a piece of candy when it slid down the back of his mouth, lodging in his throat and blocking his windpipe.”可知，小男孩Clarke Hornback Lad在吃糖果时，糖果从他嘴巴后面滑下来，堵住了他的气管；由此可知，划线词的意思与后面的blocking相近，表示“塞在他的喉咙里”，故lodging意为“卡住”。A. Stuck卡住，困住；B. Caught 赶上，接住；C. Slid 滑动，滑落；D. Found找到，发现。故选A项。

2.细节理解题。纵观全文可知，本文是以顺叙手法来写的。根据第一段第一句中的“and cheerleader Tyra Winters, was riding on the top of one of the school's floats”，第二段最后一句“The boy, Clarke Hornback Lad been sucking on a piece of candy when it slid down the back of his mouth, lodging in his throat and blocking his windpipe.”，第五段最后一句中的“she leaped off the moving float and ran to the child”，第六段最后一句中的“I tilted him and gave a good three back thrusts”，第七段第一句“Soon, the boy coughed up the piece of candy, gasped, and began breathing again.”可知，c-e-b-d-a是事件发生的正确顺序。故选B项。

3.推理判断题。从最后一段内容“It all happened so fast, Nicole never had time to thank the teen. Winters' s heroic actions left Nicole speechless. ‘I don't really have any words,’ she says. ‘The words that you would say to anyone who does something for you is' thank you.' But that doesn't seem good enough.’”可知，妮可心里非常感谢青少年，只是没有时间感谢，她认为对为自己做某事的人说‘谢谢’似乎还不够。由此可推知，Nicole对Winters的英雄行为非常感激。故选C项。

4.推理判断题。文章记叙了Winters勇于救人的感人故事，尤其根据最后一段中的“The words that you would say to anyone who does something for you is' thank you.' But that doesn't seem good enough.”可以推断他是一个乐于助人的人。A. Helpful乐于助人的；B. Mean吝啬的，刻薄的；C. Organized 有组织的，有条理的；D. Determined 坚定的，毅然的。故选A项。
