题目解答
答案
D. Residents in Manhattan may return to normal use of power on Saturday.
解析
本题考查对新闻内容的细节理解能力,需要根据原文信息准确判断选项的正确性。解题核心思路是对比选项与原文中的具体数据、时间、地点等关键信息,尤其注意以下几点:
- 事件顺序(如选项A中的“袭击顺序”);
- 具体数字(如选项B中的死亡人数、选项C中的断电人数);
- 时间描述(如选项D中的“恢复供电时间”)。
选项分析
选项A
错误。新闻中提到飓风“桑迪”首先袭击加勒比地区,而非直接袭击美国东海岸。
选项B
错误。虽然飓风导致人员伤亡,但原文中并未明确说明“仅在新泽西州就有59人遇难”,可能夸大了具体州的死亡人数。
选项C
错误。新闻中提到的断电人数为“超过800万”,而非“约400万”。
选项D
正确。新闻明确指出,曼哈顿地区的电力供应预计在周六逐步恢复,与选项描述一致。
