Authorities say everyone has been transferred from a luxury hotel in Dubai that was still burning early Friday. The city’s police chief says all residents were out of the 63-story hotel, known as "The Address." The hotel had been packed with people celebrating New Year’s Eve when fire broke out at about 9:30 p.m. At least 14 people were injured. The hotel stands across from the world’s tallest skyscraper, the Burj Khalifa. The Burj Khalifa is more than 800 meters tall. It is the center of spectacular fireworks along the Dubai water front for New Year’s. Fireworks went on as planned. Flames quickly moved through more than 20 stories of the hotel. It could be seen for kilometers in all directions. Within 30 minutes, flames raced to the top of the hotel tower, and the sky was full of thick black smoke. Burning pieces of the hotel fell to the ground from the tower. Witnesses said tens of thousands of people were crowded into the downtown area near the burning hotel and the Burj Khalifa. Authorities in the United Arab Emirates said earlier Thursday that thousands of security personnel were on duty because of the New Year’s events.
5. What is the news report mainly about?
6. What do we learn about the fire from the news report?
7. What do we learn from the witnesses’ remark?
选项 A、There were not enough security personnel in downtown area.
B、Authorities worked in downtown area to keep orders.
C、Lots of people were crowded into the downtown area.
D、New Year’s events were cut off due to the fire.
答案C
解析 新闻的最后提到，目击者称，成千上万上在市中心附近聚集(tens of thousands of people were crowded into the downtown area)，C复现原文。A与新闻末尾所述相反，新闻提到当晚有数千名安保人员在场。新闻并没有提到“官员亲自到市中心维持秩序”，故B错误。D“新年活动因大火而终止”与事实相反，新闻说到焰火没因大火而中断，还是按计划放(Fireworks went on as planned)。
