On the morning of September 11th, I boarded the train from Washington Heights in Upper Manhattan just as usual and went to the Body Positive office in the South Street Seaport of Lower Manhattan. While I was leaving the subway at 8:53 am, a man ran down the street screaming, "Someone just bombed the World Trade Center." Those around me screamed and shouted "No! " in disbelief. However, being an amateur photographer, and thinking that I might be able to help out, I ran directly toward the WTC. I stopped just short of the WTC at a corner and looked up. There before me stood the gaping hole and fire that had taken over the first building. I stood there in shock taking pictures, wanting to run even closer to help out, but I could not move. Soon I saw what looked like little angels floating down from the top of the building. I began to cry when I realized that these "angels"—in fact, desperate office workers—were coming down, some one-by-one, some even holding hands with another. Could I actually be seeing this disaster unfold with hundreds of people around me crying, screaming and running for safety?
As I watched in horror, another white airliner came from the south and took aim at the South Tower. As the plane entered the building, there was an explosion and fire and soon debris(碎片)began to fall around me. It was then that I realized that we were being attacked and that this was just not a terrible accident. Yet, I still could not move, until I was pushed down by the crowd on the street, many now in a panic running toward the water, as far from the WTC as they could possibly get. All around me were the visual reminders of hundreds of people running in panic. There were shoes, hats, briefcases, pocket-books, newspapers, and other personal items dropped as hundreds of people ran for safety.
Much has been written about the disaster already. We have learned so much in such a small amount of time about appreciating life. In some way we must move forward, bury the dead, build a memorial for those lost, and begin the coping and healing process for the survivors. But healing takes time. Some have been able to head right back to work, others seek counseling, while others remain walking through the streets with expressionless faces. However, we are all united in our grief.
What was his first reflection when he stood at the corner?
选项
A、There was a terrible accident in which an airliner struck the first building.
B、A terrorist attack against America had begun.
C、People were floating down from the top of the building as if they wanted to break a world record.
D、He was just at a loss and could not make out what had happened.
答案
A
解析
这道题不能靠简单的查读来解决。文章第二段说,在他站在拐角处看着的时候,另一架飞机撞上了南塔楼,引起爆炸和大火。第三句说,直到这时他才意识到这不是事故,而是美国被袭击了。这说明开始时,他以为是事故。
