问题     One of the greatest heartbreaks for firefighters occurs when they fail to rescue a child from a burning because the child, frightened by smoke and noise, hides under a bed or in a closet and is later found dead. Saddest of all is when children catch a glimpse of the masked firefighter but hide because they think they have seen a monster.
    To prevent such tragedies, firefighter Eric Velez gives talks to children in his community, explaining that they should never hide during a fire. He displays firefighters’ equipment, including the oxygen mask, which he encourages his listeners to play with and put on. "If you see us, " Velez tells them, "don’t hide! We are not monsters. We have come to rescue you. " Velez gives his presentations in English and Spanish Growing up in San Francisco, he learned Spanish from his immigrant parents. Velez and other firefighters throughout North America, who give similar presentations, will never know how many lives they save through their talks.
    But it’s a fact that informative speaking saves lives. For example, several months after listening to an informative speech, Pete Gentry in North Carolina rescued his brother who was choking on food, by using the method taught by student speaker, Julie Paris.
    In addition to saving lives, informative speakers help people learn new skills, solve problems and acquire fascinating facts about the exciting world in which they live.
What do we learn about Pete Gentry?

选项 A、He is very good at public speaking.
B、He rescued a student from a big fire.
C、He gives informative talks to young children.
D、He saved the life of his brother chocking on food.

答案D

解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句“…Pete Gentry in North Carolina rescued his brother who was choking on food, by using the method taught by student speaker, Julie Paris. ”可知来自北卡罗来纳州的Pete运用Julie教的理论,成功救了被食物卡住的弟弟。D选项是对文章的同义转述;A项“他擅长公共演讲”;B项“他从大火中救出一名学生”;C项“他给幼儿做知识性演讲”均不是Pete做的事情。故选D。
