【题目】How to Survive Being Stuck in a Lift

Being stuck in a lift, also known as an elevator, can sometimes be scary, especially if you are a fan of those kinds of movies which have a lot of elevator tragedies. You may think being stuck in an elevator in real life is not like in the movies. 【1】

Remain calm and do not panic! You may have heard of this a lot of times and it is true that panicking will do you no good. 【2】

Press each of the floor buttons one by one. Then, try the “doors open” button. If none of the buttons works, the lift is broken, and you need to let someone know about it.

See if your phone has any reception or Internet. 【3】 If you have WiFi connection, contact a family member or friend. Don’t forget to tell them what the address is of the building and possibly which elevator you are stuck in. If your phone is not available, the following tips can help you.

Look through the gap between the doors of the lift. If you can see light between the doors, the lift has stopped near a floor, and you should be able to shout for help and be released. Do not try to force the doors open yourself. If you can’t see light between the doors, the lift has stopped between floors, and no one will be able to let you out if you scream for help. Look for an emergency telephone. If there is no telephone, press the alarm button repeatedly. 【4】

【5】 If you have waited for more than half an hour and nobody has come to get you out, shout and bang the inside walls of the lift. If no one is responding to you, then you’ll have to accept that you will be in the lift overnight. If this happens, make yourself as comfortable as possible to save your energy. By morning, the building should be full again. You can try to get some help then.

A. Check the time.

B. It will cause you not to be able to think clearly.

C. Eventually, someone should hear you and get help.

D. Here are some tips to help you survive.

E. However, it is still a vital thing to know how to survive if it ever happens to you.

F. If you do have reception, call emergency services.

G. Use your watch.

【解析】

本文为说明文。如果你被困在电梯里，如何才能度过难关？本文讲述了被困电梯时的五点注意事项。

【1】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据上句“你可能会认为在现实生活中被困在电梯里和电影里不一样”。以及下文的一些建议可知，知道如何生存是很重要的。分析选项可知E项（然而，如果发生在你身上，知道如何生存仍然是一件至关重要的事情）符合题意，故选E。

【2】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据上一句“确实恐慌对你没有好处”可推断出，它会让你无法清晰地思考。分析选项可知B项符合题意，故选B。

【3】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据上句“See if your phone has any reception or Internet.”此句意为“看看你的手机是否有信号或网络”。以及下句“If you have WiFi connection, contact a family member or friend.”意为“如果你有WiFi连接，联系你的家人或朋友”。分析选项可知F项（如果您有信号，请拨打紧急服务电话）

与前后两句意义一致。且有词（reception）的复现，故选F。

【4】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本段是说如果你没带手机，那就重复按报警按钮。由此可知，这样做的目的是让人听到你的声音并得到帮助。分析选项可知，

C项（最终，应该有人听到你的声音并得到帮助。）符合题意，故选C。

【5】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据下句“如果你已经等了半个多小时”，可知要看一下时间。分析选项可知A项（核实一下时间）符合题意，故选A。
