The number killed in the Bradford City football ground disaster has risen to 52; more than 70 police and spectators have also been detained in hospital. The match was being recorded by York shire TV when the fire began. When it first broke out, a few tongues of flame could be seen under the wooden seats in the G block of the stand. Some of the spectators walked away casually from the smoke. Then suddenly the fire spread with terrifying speed, and within minutes the whole stand was in flames. Most of the spectators rushed forwards onto the pits to avoid the blaze. In the panic, sever al spectators were crushed, and police and other fans ran back to the stands to help them. The rescuers’ clothes and hair could be seen bursting into flames in the intense heat.
Most of the dead were found piled up at the back of the stand, where they had run to escape from the fire. However, the gates at the back of the stand had been locked before the start of the match. This had been done to prevent people from entering without paying. Eyewitnesses spoke of fans being crushed beneath the turnstile in a desperate attempt to escape.
Throughout the day, weeping relatives trailed into hospitals and police stations looking for missing members of their families. The police are faced with the problem of identifying the victims and dental records and jewelry are being collected to help with the task.
The alarmingly quick spread of the fire was of serious concern to police and fire-brigade investigators last night. They believe that paper and other rubbish that had accumulated over the years beneath the wooden stands provided ready-made fuel for the fire.
Police think that the blaze was started by a dropped cigarette. They also found out that fire extinguishers had been removed from the stands because they had been used in the past by fans as missiles.
The tragedy is the worst in football history since 66 fans died when part of stadium collapsed in Scotland in 1971.
Which of the following is true according to the passage?
选项
A、The police knew very soon who most of the victims were.
B、More people died at Bradford than at the stadium in Scotland.
C、The fire spread so fast probably because of the people’s clothes and hair.
D、There was nothing in the stands to put the fire out with when it started.
答案
D
解析
根据上题注解,正确的陈述应为D,“当火灾发生后,没有任何东西可以用来灭火”。
