1．解析：从后文可知火车与卡车相撞。 答案：C

2．解析：因为是对于紧急情况报案，因此那人的声音非常焦急。 答案：C

3．解析：联系文章的第一句“The telephone rang in the police station at Richmond, California”可以得知答案。

答案：C

4．解析：联系空前的“a police car and an ambulance”可以知道，警车与救护车赶紧出发。 答案：D

5．解析：联系前文的“at the McDonald Street Crossing”可以得此答案。 答案：A

6．解析：因为“No collision，no wounded man.”因此一切正常。

2

答案：A

答案：D

8．解析：从前文可以知道，报案的是一个妇女。 答案：D

答案：A 10．解析：从后文“When it was passing the crossing”可以知道，卡车也开过来了。“It came running”意思是“跑过来”。

答案：C

11．解析：从后文可以知道，火车与卡车相撞了，因此当开到路口，卡车再也不能向前走了。

答案：C

12．解析：卡车就停在了路口处，就在此时此地，火车撞上了卡车。 答案：B

13．解析：present在此意思是“在场”。 答案：B

14．解析：从空后的“was helped out of the damaged truck”可以知道，被救出的是卡车的司机。

答案：A

15．解析：就跟那个妇女在电话中描述的那样，司机受了重伤。as在这里引导的是方式状语，因此其他答案不合题意。

答案：B

16．解析：从空前的“As he was taken to hospital in time”可以知道，因为抢救及时，司机最后被救了。在本句中as表示原因。

答案：B

17．解析：联系下文but failed可以知道，警察想找到那个妇女，但是没有找到。 答案：B
