问题 Where the Tropical storm makes landfall?
Tropical storm Arlene has weakened somewhat after making landfall this afternoon along the Gulf Coast. But the storm is still hitting the region with strong winds and heavy rain.
   Tropical storm Arlene followed a path similar to that of devastating hurricane Ivan, but it packed much less punch. Shortly after coming ashore, Arlene sustained winds of 50 miles per hour, down from 70 miles an hour earlier in the day. Escambia County spokeswoman Sonya Smith says despite some beach erosion and heavy rainfall, it appears the Pensacola area experienced little additional damage.
   We actually anticipated a lot more road flooding; we actually anticipated a lot more problems than what we’ve had. We actually expected debris even to be a problem, and we just have not had that. In the meantime, Smith says evacuated residents are being allowed to return home tonight.
选项 A、Escambia County.
B、Along the Gulf Coast.
C、Pensacola area.
D、Along the Mexican Gulf Coast.
答案B
解析 本题考查对新闻细节(地点)的捕捉。新闻的开篇就讲到：“Tropical storm Arlene has weakened somewhat after making landfall this afternoon along the Gulf Coast.”即今天下午热带风暴在海湾地区登陆后就有所减弱，可知热带风暴是在海湾地区登陆的。选项A和C虽然在文中都有所提及，而且风暴也确实经过了这些地区，但是新闻中并没有具体说明热带风暴就是在这个地方登陆的，因此选项D为正确答案。
