Question

【題目】 A 3-year-old boy who was lost in the woods for two days is now safe at home with his family. But Casey Hathaway told his rescuers that he was not alone in the rainy, freezing cold woods. He said he was with a friend — a bear.

The child went missing on January 22. He was playing with friends at his grandmother’s house in the southern state of North Carolina. When the other children returned home but Casey did not, the family searched the area for almost an hour before calling the police. Police formed a search and rescue team to look for the young boy in the nearby woods. But two days went by and still — no Casey.

Then on January 24, someone called the police saying he heard a child crying in the woods. Police followed up on the information and found Casey at about 9 ：30 that night. They pulled him out of some briar. He was in good health. Casey told the rescuers that he had hung out with a black bear for two days, a bear he called his "friend".

Sheriff Chip Hughes spoke with reporters from several news agencies. He said Casey did not say how he was able to survive in the woods for three days in the cold, rainy weather. However, the sheriff said, “ He did say he had a friend in the woods that was a bear that was with him. ”

Hundreds of people helped in the search and rescue efforts, including some 600 volunteers, federal police and members of the military. Officer Hughes told reporters that at no point did he think Casey had been kidnapped.

His mother Brittany Hathaway talked with reporters from a local news agency and thanked everyone who joined the search for her son. “ We just want to tell everybody that we’re very thankful that you took the time out to search for Casey and prayed for him, and he's good, ” said his mother. “ He is good, he is up and talking. He’s already asked to watch Netflix. So, he's good …"

這是一篇記敘文。男孩凱西在離開祖母家后就失蹤了。兩天之后，警察根據得到的線索在樹林里找到了凱西。凱西告訴他的救援人員在森林里的這兩天他一直和一只熊在一起。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據第二段The child went missing on January 22. He was playing with friends at his grandmother’s house in the southern state of North Carolina. When the other children returned home but Casey did not,可知這個孩子在1月22日失蹤了。他正在他的祖母在北卡羅來納州南部州的房子里玩耍。當其他孩子回家時，凱西卻沒有。也就是在離開祖母的房子后，凱西沒有回家，失蹤了。故選D項。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據第三段中的Then on January 24, someone called the police saying he heard a child crying in the woods. Police followed up on the information and found Casey at about 9 ：30 that night. 可知然后在1月24日，有人打電話給警察，說他聽到一個孩子在樹林里哭泣。警方跟進了該消息，并于當晚9點30分發(fā)現了凱西。所以是有人提供了關鍵的信息來幫助找到這個男孩。故選C項。

【3】推理判斷題。根據最后一段中的. “ We just want to tell everybody that we’re very thankful that you took the time out to search for Casey and prayed for him, and he's good, ” said his mother. “ He is good, he is up and talking. He’s already asked to watch Netflix. So, he's good …"可知男孩凱西的媽媽說：“我們只想告訴大家，我們非常感謝您抽出寶貴的時間去搜尋凱西并為他祈禱，他的狀況很好。” “他很好，他在說話。他已經被要求觀看Netflix。所以，他很好……”，從媽媽的話中可知她很感激大家的幫助，她說這些話的目的就是為了向救援人員表達自己的感激。同時她強調凱西一切都好，感到很欣慰。故選B項。

【4】推理判斷題。本文講述了一個小男孩失蹤后被找到的事情，文中有具體的時間地點和各方人物，描述詳細客觀，結合最后一段中的 talked with reporters from a local news agency 可以推斷這最有可能是一篇新聞報道。故選A項。
