For one Japanese man and his wife, attending the World Cup match between Japan and Russia on Sunday is likely to be a bitter sweet experience. Kazusada and Mari Sumiyama will be in the stands in memory of their son Yoichi, a fervent(狂人的)soccer fan who died in the September 11 attacks in the United States.
Yoichi, 34, was so excited last year by the prospect of the World Cup that he called his parents in February from New York, where he worked for Fuji Bank in the World Trade Center, asking them to apply for tickets, the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper said. When his parents visited Yoichi in July, his father Kazusada — also a soccer devotee(热衷者)—told him he had picked up two tickets and they would make it a father-son event. "1 will manage to get vacation somehow," an overjoyed Yoichi reportedly said. "I will be there no matter what. " But fate intervened in September, when Yoichi was one of 2,823 people killed after two hijacked planes slammed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center and destroyed them. Although Yoichi had left his office high in the South Tower after the first plane struck the other tower and evacuated to the ground floor, he went back up following an announcement that it was safe and was there when the second plane hit.
In February this year, following long days of grieving when they were unable to eat or meet people, Kazusada suggested to Mari that she attend the World Cup match their son had looked forward to so much, the Yomiuri said. To do so, however, meant officially changing the name on the ticket. This in turn meant having Yoichi declared dead — a step that Japanese are often reluctant to take in cases where a body has not been recovered. Early in April, on virtually the same day that they received the new ticket issued in Mari’s name, came word that Yoichi’s remains had been found.
"I am going to the match because I know it will please my son, " Mari was quoted by the Yomiuri saying. Kazusada in turn said: "Most likely, our son is now moving around, free of the limits of time and space. 1 am sure that, somewhere, he too will be watching the match. "
According to the passage, which of the following is true about the death of Yoichi in the September 11 attack?
选项
A、He could have avoided the disaster.
B、He died when the first plane struck the tower in which he worked.
C、He died when he was working.
D、He went back to his own office because he had something important to do.
答案
A
解析
本题为深层推理题,提问的是关于Yoichi的死,下列哪项是对的。从文章中可知,Yoichi在第一架飞机撞击第一栋大楼后本来已经到了楼底,在安全警报解除后,他又重新回到了楼上的办公室,可这时第二架飞机又撞击了他所在的那栋楼,所以A)是正确的。
