Early in November 1965, New York was blacked out by an electricity failure (停电). The Mayor promised that it would not happen again. Pessimists (悲观主义者) were certain that it would happen again within five years. In July 1977, there was a repeat performance which produced a serious disorder throughout the city. At that time the city was in one of its worst heat waves.
In 1965, there was little crime during the darkness, and fewer than a hundred people were arrested. In 1977, hundreds of stores were broken into and looted (劫掠). Nearly 4,000 people were arrested but far more disappeared into the darkness of the night. The number of policeman available was far from enough and some looters even carry guns.
Hospitals had to treat hundreds of people cut by glass from shop windows. Banks and most business remained closed the next day. The blackout started at 9:30 P.M., when lightning hit and knocked out supply cables. Many stores were thus caught by surprise. For twenty-four hours, New York realized how helpless it was without electricity.
In what way was the blackout of 1977 different from that of 1965?
选项
A、There was much more disorder.
B、This time the electricity supply failed.
C、People did not expect it.
D、Fewer people were arrested in the blackout of 1977.
答案
A
解析
从第二段的比较可得知1977年的大停电有更多的人趁机犯罪,治安混乱,这是最大的不同点,因此A为正确答案。
