I have a vegetable garden and every summer I enjoy eating my own vegetables. One day last summer I picked a dozen carrots. Usually, as soon as I have picked the carrots, I clean the dirt off them by washing them in a bucket of water. But this day, as I was getting up from the ground with my twelve carrots, I tripped(绊)and fell over the bucket. The water spilled out of the bucket, so I decided to wash the carrots quickly in the kitchen sink. I put the carrots in the sink, washed them with water, and watched all the dirt washed away down the drain.
The next day, when I was washing dishes, I noticed that the water drained out of the sink much more slowly than usual. It drained so slowly that I called a plumber(水管工)to come and fix my drain. The plumber tried a lot of different cleaners and equipment, but nothing worked. He had to cut a hole in the floor where the drain pipe was in order to try to find the problem. While he was cutting the small hole, he accidentally cut the hot-water pipe. Hot water sprayed over the plumber, onto the floor, under the refrigerator; water went everywhere.
My refrigerator stopped working because the water had affected the electrical wires. I called an electrician to come and fix the refrigerator. The electrician had to move the refrigerator to work on the wires. As she was balancing it, she tripped over the plumber’s tools. She fell down and the refrigerator tipped over. It crashed into the wall, resulting in a huge hole in the wall.
I called a carpenter to come and fix the wall. In order to repair the hole in the wall, the carpenter had to tear down half of the entire wall. Meanwhile, the plumber was still looking for the source of the drain problem. Since the kitchen was in a terrible mess anyway, the plumber decided to remove part of the floor to look at the pipe there. In the middle of the floor, he found the problem: the dirt from the carrots was stuck in the pipe and nothing could go through.
Now I had a sink that did not drain, a refrigerator that did not work, a wall that was half gone, and part of a floor that was missing. I looked at this disaster and decided that what I really needed was a new kitchen. Finally, I called a house builder to come and fix my kitchen. Three weeks later I had a new sink, a new refrigerator, new cupboards on a new wall, new tiles on a new floor, and $ 10, 000 less in my bank.
Which of the following caused the hole in the wall?
选项
A、Water that sprayed on it.
B、The electrician who worked on the wires.
C、The refrigerator that crashed into it.
D、The plumber who used a wrong tool.
答案
C
解析
细节理解题。从第三段的“The electrician had to move the refrigerator to work onthe wires.As she was balancing it,she tripped over the plumber’s tools.She fell down and therefrigerator tipped over.It crashed into the wall,resulting in a huge hole in the wall.”可知,当电工搬冰箱时,她被水管工的工具绊倒,冰箱倒了,冰箱撞坏了墙,导致墙上出现一个大洞。由此可知C是正确答案。本段并未提及水溅到墙上,可排除A。电工修电路并不是墙被撞出洞的直接原因,可排除B。本段也未提及水管工使用工具的问题,所以排除D。
