阅读理解 It was no surprise that Urzua was the last of the 33 miners to leave the mine.Urzua --- after shaking hands with rescue workers ---- climbed into a capsule barely wider than a man’s shoulders at 9:46 and was hauled up (拖上来) from a narrow hole drilled through 2,000 feet of rock. He arrived at the top 11 minutes later. “We have done what the entire world was waiting for,” he told Chilean President Sebastian Pinera immediately after his rescue. “The 69 days that we fought so hard were not in vain.” Pinera greeted Urzua, saying “You have been rescued, coming out last like a good leader… You have no idea how all Chileans share with you your hardships, your hope, and your joy. You are an inspiration.” With Urzua by his side, the president led the crowd in singing the national anthem.Robinson Marquez once worked with Urzua in a nearby mine. He described Urzua as a calm, professional person and a born leader. “He is very protective of his men and obviously loves them. He wouldn’t have left until all of his men were safely above ground,” Marquez said. Under Urzua’s leadership, the men stretched an emergency food supply meant to last just 48 hours over two and a half weeks, taking tiny sips of milk and bites of fish every other day.He described the difficulties of the first days, saying that it took about three hours for the dust to settle before the men could inspect where tons of collapsed rock sealed off (堵住) the main way out. When the rescuers first made contact by drilling a narrow hole into their refuge (避难处), the miners were so excited that everyone wanted to hug the drill hammer.After the collapse, Urzua was the first to speak to Pinera and to urge him not to let him and his men down. “Don’t leave us alone,” he asked the president, who assured the workers that they would not be abandoned, telling them he would do everything he could to get them back to the surface.1.The mine collapsed on ____.A.March 2B.June 3C.August 5D.October 132.Which word can’t be used to describe Urzua?A.SelfishB.CalmC.OptimisticD.Talented3.What do you know about the capsule?A.It is very spacious.B.It is very narrow.C.It is made by Urzua.D.It is used in space.4.The emergency food supply was designed to last ____.A.over two and a half weeksB.five daysC.one weekD.two days

CABD解析1.C 计算题。根据第一段They were rescued to safety on October 13, 2010和第三段The 69 days that we fought so hard were not in vain.可知他们是在August 5发生事故，69天以后也就是October 13被救上来。2.Ａ　推理题。根据文章内容可知他遇见困难很镇定，也很乐观，坚定的认为自己会被救上来，也很有才干，而且他是最后一个上来的，说明他很无私。Ａ项自私不是他的性格，故Ａ符合要求。3.B 细节题。根据文章第三段was hauled up (拖上来) from a narrow hole drilled through 2,000 feet of rock.可知B正确。4.Ｄ　细节题。根据最后一段２,３行the men stretched an emergency food supply meant to last just 48 hours over two and a half weeks可知Ｄ正确。
