题目解答

答案

根据新闻报道，诺沃克消防队长（Norwalk Fire Marshal）正在调查火灾的原因和起火点。文中明确提到：“The Norwalk Fire Marshal is investigating the cause and origin of the fire.” 这表明其主要任务是调查火灾原因，而非其他选项所述内容。 - A项“调查事件原因”符合文意。 - B项“帮助寻找犯罪嫌疑人”未提及。 - C项“救援被困商人”与文不符，文中未提有人被困。 - D项“查阅镇记录以寻找开发商”也未提及。 答案：A. Investigating the cause of the incident.

解析

本题考查细节理解能力，需要根据新闻内容准确判断Norwalk Fire Marshal的具体行动。解题关键在于定位原文中直接描述该人物职责的句子，并排除干扰选项。

  1. 定位关键句：原文明确提到"The Norwalk Fire Marshal is investigating the cause and origin of the fire."（诺沃克消防队长正在调查火灾的原因和起火点）。
  2. 选项分析：
    • A. Investigating the cause of the incident：与原文中的"investigating the cause"完全一致，正确。
    • B. Helping search for the suspect：文中未提及任何犯罪或嫌疑人，排除。
    • C. Rescuing businessmen：文中提到的是"residents（住户）"需撤离，但未描述消防队长参与救援，排除。
    • D. Checking town records：town records是背景信息，与消防队长的职责无关，排除。
