　　News Item Two

　　Canadian police and military teams were working Tuesday afternoon to rescue about 300 people stranded after what a local official termed "the most brutal storm to hit the Ontario region in 25 years". Some people have been stuck in their vehicles for more than 24 hours following blinding snow that piled up so high it made it almost impossible to open vehicle doors. Ontario Provincial police initially reported about 360 vehicles and about 300 people have been stranded near Sonia, Ontario, on Highway 402, a major thoroughfare linking the U.S.-Canada border to London, Ontario. Some of those people have since been rescued but Sonia mayor, Mike Bradley, said it could be another 24 hours before everyone is taken to safety.

　　3.What did the rescue efforts mainly concentrate on?

　　4.How long might the last group of people have been trapped in their vehicles before being rescued?

　　参考答案：

　　【小题3】A

　　【小题4】D

　　习题解析：

　　【小题3】新闻开头提到Canadian police and military teams were working Tuesday afternoon to rescue about 300 people，后文又提到 Ontario Provincial police initially reported about 360 vehicles and about 300 people have been stranded near Sonia, Ontario, on Highway 402，由此得知，解救重点在公路上，因此正确答案为A项。

　　【小题4】新闻中先提到Some people have been stuck in their vehicles for more than 24 hours，而后又提到 but Sonia mayor, Mike Bradley, said it could be another 24 hours before everyone is taken to safety.由此可以知道这些人已经被困了24小时，而要确保所有人都被安全救出来可能还需要24小时，故最后一批人被救出时，他们可能已经被困48小时，正确答案为D项。
