In the morning of November 18, 1755, an earthquake shook Boston. John Winthrop, a professor at Harvard College, felt the quake and woke up. " I rose, "he wrote, "and lit a candle, looked at my watch, and found it to be 15 minutes after four. "John Winthrop went downstairs to the grandfather’s clock. It had stopped three minutes before, at 4: 11. Except for stopping the clock, the quake had only thrown a key from the table to me floor.
The clock had stopped because Winthrop had put some long glass tubes he was using for an experiment into the case for safekeeping. The quake had shocked the tubes over and blocked the pendulum. Winthrop, therefore, had the exact time that the earthquake had hit Boston. He looked at the key on the floor. The quake had thrown it forward in the direction of the quake’s motion by a shock coming from the northwest, perhaps in Canada.
Choose the right order of the events given in the passage.
a. He found a key on the floor.
b. He felt he was shaking.
c. He found it was eleven past four by the clock.
d. Winthrop went to bed at ten.
e. He found it was a quarter past four by his watch.
f.
选项
A、d, b, e, c, a, f
B、d, a, b, e, c, f
C、b, c, e, a, f, d
D、e, d, f, c,b, a
答案

解析
教授应该是在最后发现地震的确切位置的,故可以排除C、D。根据第一段我们可以得出“教授是先被震醒后才发现地板上的钥匙的,因此可排除B。故正确的答案为A。
