本文报道了2012年10月1日在香港发生的一起撞船事故,那是自1971年以来最致命的一次船舶事故。
1.【解析】选A。
词义猜测题。
根据文中的语境可知当时船正在下沉,当然是比较嘈杂、凌乱的,故messy(嘈杂的,凌乱的,散乱的)和chaotic同义。
dirty脏的;frightening令人害怕的;shocking令人震惊的。
2.【解析】选B。
细节理解题。
根据第二段Atleast38peopledied.Rescuerspickedup123survivorsandarestillsearchingforacountlessnumberofotherswhoaremissing.可知并不是总共161人死、伤,还有许多人未被找到,故B项表述不正确。
3.【解析】选A。
主旨大意题。
本文主要讲在2012年10月1日发生在香港的撞船事故,此次事故是香港40多年来最致命的船舶事故。
故A项是最合适的题目,其余选项只是文中的细节。
4.【解析】选D。
推理判断题。
本文是一篇新闻报道,故推测应该摘自报纸。
