Question

2007年6月23日英语六级考试第29题，真心搞不懂，谢谢

25 years ago, Ray Anderson, a single parent with a one-year-old son witnessed a terrible accident which took place when the driver of a truck ran a red light and collided with the car of Sandra D. The impact of the collision killed Sandra instantly. But her three-month-old daughter was left trapped in the burning car. While others looked on in horror, Andersen jumped out of his vehicle and crawled into the car through the shadowed rear window to try to free the infant. Seconds later, the car was enclosed in flames. But to everyone’s amazement, Andersen was able to pull the baby to safety. While the baby was all right, Andersen was seriously injured. Two days later he died. But his heroic act was published widely in the media. His son was soon adopted by relatives. The most remarkable part of the story unfolded only last week. Karen and her boyfriend Michael were looking through some old boxes when they came across some old newspaper clippings剪报. “This is me when I was a new born baby. I was rescued from a burning car. But my mother died in the accident,” explained Karen. Although Michael knew Karen’s mother had died years earlier, he never fully understood the circumstances until he skimmed over the newspaper article. To Karen’s surprise, Michael was absorbed in the details of the accident. And he began to cry uncontrollably. Then he revealed that the man that pulled Karen from the flames was the father he never knew. The two embraced and shed many tears, recounting stories told to them about their parents.
29 What happened twenty-five years ago?
29. A) Michael’s parents got divorced.
B) Karen was adopted by Ray Anderson.
C) Karen’s mother died in a car accident.
D) A truck driver lost his life in a collision.
答案是B 原谅我实在是看着原文都不懂 T_T#

Answer 1

你确定答案是B？
我觉得B是错的，文中根本就没提到Karen的去向，只说Michael被亲戚收养了。
A肯定不对
卡车司机也不知道死没死，文中只说Karen的母亲死了
所以，答案是C

Answer 2

答案应该是C。
原文大约是讲25年前一个一岁的男孩的爸爸目睹了一起车祸，在这起车祸中一个三个月大的小女孩的妈妈死了，小女孩被困在车中，男孩的爸爸为了救出小女孩受了重伤，两天后也死了，男孩被亲戚领养。25年后，长大的小女孩在收拾以前的简报时看到了当年对这起事故的报道，就告诉她的男朋友当年那起车祸以及她被救的事情，没想到的是男朋友看到报道后也哭了，他就是当年的那个小男孩。
问题：25年前发生了什么事情：
选项A是小男孩的父母离婚了。
B：小女孩被小男孩的爸爸领养了。
C：小女孩的妈妈死于车祸。
D：卡车司机即男孩爸爸死于汽车爆炸。

Answer 3

adopt有过继，收养的意思，在倒数第二段开头那里可以看出Anderson是Karen的父亲，这是别人先前不知道的（大概就是这意思吧）

追问

追答

哦，对对对，我看错了，不好意思，答案选C
