Question

Any car accident is frightening, but an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water, with you trapped inside, is absolutely terrifying.__小题1:__ However, most deaths result from panic, without a plan or understanding what is happening to the car in the water.By adopting a brace(支撑) position, acting decisively and getting out fast，you can save yourself from a sinking vehicle.
Brace yourself for impact(撞击力)．As soon as you're aware that you're going off the road and into a body of water，adopt a brace position.The impact could set off the airbag system in your vehicle，so you should place both hands on the steering wheel in the  “ten and two” position.
Undo your seatbelt.__小题2:__ Unbuckle the children，starting with the oldest first.Forget the cellphone call.Your car isn't going to wait for you to make the call.
_小题3:_ Leave the door alone at this stage and concentrate on the window.A car's electrical system should work for up to three minutes in water，so try the method of opening it electronically first.Many people don't think about the window as an escape option either because of panic or misinformation about doors and sinking.
Break the window.If you aren't able to open the window，or it only opens halfway，you'll need to break it with an object or your foot.It may feel counter­intuitive(有悖常理的) to let water into the car._小题4:__
Escape when the car has equalized.If it has reached the dramatic stage where the car cabin has been filled with water and it has become balanced，you must move quickly and effectively to ensure your survival._小题5:__ While there is still air in the car，take slow，deep breaths and focus on what you're doing.

A．Open the window as soon as you hit the water.

B．Surviving a sinking car is not as difficult as you think.

C．It takes 60 to 120 seconds for a car to fill up with water usually.

D．Such accidents are particularly dangerous to the risk of drowning.

E．In conclusion，if you know what to do in the water，you will be safe.
F．This is the first thing to attend to，yet it often gets forgotten in the panic.
G．But the sooner the window is open，the sooner you can escape directly through it.
1．______　2.______　3.______　4.______　5.______

Answer 1

小题1:D
小题2:F
小题3:A
小题4:G
小题5:C

本文为说明文，主要介绍了当遇到汽车掉入水中时，人们应该如何应对。
小题1:D　空格前的“an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water”与D项中的“Such accidents”对应，而空格处句子与空格后一句为转折关系，故选择D项。
小题2:F　空格前句“Undo your seatbelt.”与F项中的“This is the first thing to attend to”对应，故选择F项。
小题3:A　根据本段中的“concentrate on the window”和“Many people don't think about the window as an escape option either because of panic...”可知选择A项。
小题4:G　首先空格前句与空格处为转折关系，本段仍旧围绕“window”进行阐述，G项所表达的意思为打开窗户逃生，与本段主旨一致，故选择G项。
小题5:C　空格前的“car cabin has been filled with water”与C项中的“fill up with water”对应，而C项所表达的意思也与空格后的“While there is still air in the car”相关联，故此题选择C项。
