问题 What can be inferred about the flooding problem in U. S. from the passage?
What can be inferred from paragraph 3 about the happening of floods?

选项 A、Only with water covering a house to the rooftop can be viewed as floods.
B、Some U. S. states are spared from the destroying power of floods.
C、Ocean waves is the only reason to cause the disaster of floods.
D、Floods happen more often than any other forms of natural disasters.

答案D

解析 考查细节。题目明确告诉我们考查第三段,A项和原文中“maybe only a few inches of water or”也就是洪水可以只有几英寸高或者掩盖屋顶这样的论述是冲突的,为干扰选项;B项说美国的有些州是可以不受洪水的影响的(be spared),这和原文中“It can happen in every U. S. state and territory”这样的论述是冲突的,也是干扰选项;C项认为海潮是造成洪水的唯一原因,在原文中,我们可以看到,和“when ocean waves come onshore”处于同一位置的还有另外三个结构相同的时间状语,分别是“when rivers overflow”“when snow melts too fast”和“when dams or levees break”,这就说明海潮肯定不是造成洪水的唯一原因;D项说洪水的发生频率超过了其他自然灾害,这一点和原文中“Flooding is the most common of all natural hazards.”这样的陈述是吻合的,为正确答案。
