题目内容

The TV shows a baby’s pram (婴儿车) rolling off a train platform as the mother makes a mad rush to save her son, but she is too late and it falls onto the rails in front of an incoming train. This heart-stopping scene happened yesterday at Ashburton station in Melbourne, Australia. But the story has a happy ending: the six-month-old baby survived with just a cut on his forehead, although the pram was dragged about 35 metres by the braking train. The nurse Jon Wright said the boy just “needed a feed and a sleep” and didn’t need to stay in hospital.

“Luckily, he was strapped (绑) into his pram at the time, which probably saved his life. I think the child is extremely lucky, ” Wright told the Herald Sun newspaper after the baby was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

Fortunately the train was already slowing down to stop at the station so it stopped quickly when the driver put on the brakes as soon as he saw the pram fall in front of him. Rail firm Connex is to look into how the pram rolled off the platform. The accident came one day after Connex started a child safety awareness activity warning parents to keep babies strapped into their prams at all times while on platforms.

The accident happened at the same time as the “balloon boy ”story in the US, in which a six-year-old Colorado boy was reported to be trapped in a flyaway balloon. However, he was later found hiding in the family’s garage. Many people believe that it had all been a publicity stunt by the parents. No such doubts surround the baby on the train platform.

1.In the accident, the baby           .

A．almost fell onto the rails

B．needed to stay in hospital

C．was badly injured by the train

D．was pulled a long distance in the pram by the train

2.The child was not killed most probably because        .

A．the mother strapped him into his pram

B．the platform is not very high

C．he was well fed and asleep

D．the mother rushed to save him

3.Why could the train stop quickly?

A．Because it had just begun to move.

B．Because it was moving slowly at that time.

C．Because the mother took measures quickly.

D．Because the driver saw the pram fall.

4.The underlined word “stunt” in the last paragraph probably means           .

A．something silly

B．something funny

C．something done to attract attention

D．something done to avoid bad luck

Oh God! I think I was about seven when my sisters and I pulled this stupid stunt（惊险动作）.

I remember we were watching TV when we heard my  36  , Chris, shouting from the backyard. We all    37    out to see what happened.   38 we finally located him, he was in a tree 39  from the highest tree branch. Crying, he explained he had climbed up the tree and couldn’t get down. One of us should climb up but we couldn’t   40   to get him moving down.

Luckily, my youngest sister, Ka, five then, had seen a(n) 41  situation. She suggested we grab a 42   , hold it under the branch, and tell him to   43    so we could catch him. My other sister, Yams, one year younger than me, looked at me eagerly to    44    her idea and I said “Yeah, let’s try that.”

Immediately we    45    a sheet and held it beneath the tree. Now mind you, the ages holding this blanket were    46    from seven to five, thus the sheet was probably being held up to our waist and also close to touching the ground. But we were    47    it could work.

Chris, my brother, aged four, looked down at us with hesitation, asking in a  48  voice, “Are you sure I’ll land on the blanket?” But because of a problem at  49  with his tongue being a bit attached to the mouth, it came out like this, “Ah you sho awill lan on da blanked?” “Yup!” I told him, “We’re sure!” and he let go.

How    50    he was to trust us! And no matter how  51  we held, Chris fell right 52 that sheet and landed on his stomach. This tiny seventy-pound boy had made a big    53    right in the sheet!

Because he wasn’t moving, we bent down to sense if he was still alive. Slowly, he uttered these five words, “Ah stee hi da flow!”,    54  ,  “I still hit the floor!” Poor little man!

Now Chris is fourteen and he still blames us about it.  55  , he wants to be a fireman when he grows up.
