问题 Choose the correct letter, A, B, C or D.
Write your answers in boxes 24-26 on your answer sheet.
According to Ross Simmons, which of the following statements is true?

选项 A、It’s harder to evacuate people in daytime.
B、People refuse to improve their house in fire resisting ability.
C、People can hardly believe the magnitude of damage today.
D、People are less likely to die in fires now.

答案D

解析 利用细节信息“Ross Simmons”定位于原文最后一段。选项A(It’s harder to evacuate people in daytime),原文只提及“Mr.Simmons and neighbors began receiving automated phone calls at 3:30 a.m”,但是并未提及原因是因为白天撤离困难或任何相关信息,所以排除。选项B(People refuse to improve their house in fie resisting ability)。原文中明显提及大火之后人们开始积极改善建筑标准(“the San Diego region turnedcommunitywide soul—searching into improved building codes”),所以不可能拒绝改善自身房屋防御火灾的能力,排除。选项c(People can hardly believe the magnitude ofdamage today),原文只是提及目前火灾影响面大且广,但是人们相信与否并未提及,所以排除。选项D(People are less likely to die in fires now)对应原文最后一句话“Notwithstanding all the damage that will be caused by this,we will not come close to theloss of life…”,所以正确答案为D。
