It was 7:15am on 15th April, 2010. Forty-year-old Earl Brown was waiting for the train at the subway station in New York City. His two sons, aged five and eight, were with him at the time.

Suddenly, a sick young man fell down on the platform(站臺(tái)). The man, 24-year-old James Wilson, got up, but then ________ again—this time, onto the track(軌道) between the two rails. A train was coming into the station. It was a ________ moment, and an accident seemed to be about to happen. The young man’s life was going to be in danger if the train did not stop. Everybody on the platform was very worried about the young man as his life could be gone in a few ________ .

But Mr. Brown stayed calm. He looked at the man, and looked at the space that the man was in. It was about half a meter ________ . He thought to himself, “The train is going to travel over the man. If he tries to get up, the train will definitely kill him. However, the young man will be OK if he lies on the ground and doesn’t move.”At this time, Mr. Brown knew he had to make a tough ________ , and it would be very important for this young man.

Without further hesitation(猶豫), Mr. Brown jumped onto the track. He ________ on top of Mr. Wilson, and kept him down on the ground inside the subway track. The train driver saw both of them. He was terrified, but there was no way for him to ________ in time. The train travelled over the two men before it was finally stopped.

People on the platform clapped(鼓掌) and cheered their ________ —they were amazed at Mr. Brown’s courage and bravery. Subway staffs helped the two men walk out of the track safely.

In a radio interview, Mr. Brown was asked why he was so brave when the accident happened. He ________ said, "My coat got dirty but that’s it."

試題解析：四十歲的Earl Brown在一個(gè)年輕人倒在地鐵軌道上面臨著被地鐵碾過的危險(xiǎn)的情況下急中生智，把年輕人救了。

【1】本段話的第一句中已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)了fell一詞，同時(shí)，在這個(gè)句子中，出現(xiàn)了again，可推斷此處也是fell，故選A。

【2】根據(jù)本句后出現(xiàn)的一句an accident seemed to be about to happen，可推斷當(dāng)時(shí)的情況是非常糟糕的（terrible），故選D。

【3】根據(jù)當(dāng)時(shí)的語境，可知列車很快就要來了，因此，他的生命即將在幾秒鐘內(nèi)受到威脅。故選D。

【4】A．wide寬的；B．high高的；C．deep深的；D. long長(zhǎng)的。根據(jù)對(duì)上下文的理解以及常識(shí)，可知推斷當(dāng)時(shí)的鐵軌是有半米深的，這樣才能保證后面他們躺在那里安全地讓列車通過，故本題選C。

【5】分析文意，可知當(dāng)Brown要在短時(shí)間內(nèi)作出如何就那個(gè)年輕人的決定（decision），故選A。

【6】根據(jù)上下文的意思以及常識(shí)，可知Brown當(dāng)時(shí)是要就那個(gè)年輕人，那么就必須躺在他的上方對(duì)他進(jìn)行保護(hù)，故選B。

【7】根據(jù)語境，可知道列車開來的時(shí)候列車司機(jī)發(fā)現(xiàn)鐵軌上躺了兩個(gè)人，但由于時(shí)間有限是不可能讓列車及時(shí)地停下來。故選C

【8】根據(jù)語境，可知Brown在自己絲毫沒受傷的情況下也救了那個(gè)年輕人，因此成為了人們心目中的英雄，故選B。

【9】A．simply僅僅是；B．excitedly興奮地；C．hurriedly匆忙地； D．proudly自豪地。根據(jù)上下文并結(jié)合對(duì)各個(gè)選項(xiàng)的理解，可知選A。

【10】A．true真實(shí)的；B．right對(duì)的；C．brave勇敢的；D．great偉大的。根據(jù)對(duì)上下文的理解，可知Brown認(rèn)為他這樣做是對(duì)的，故選B。
