Like most Oregonians, Stephanie McRae was used to driving in bad weather. Although rain still beat the window of her car, the worst of the day’s storm seemed to have passed as she drove her 11-year-old daughter, Maggie, home from a church at 8:30 p.m. Two little children sat into their car seats in back.
When crossing over Fawcett Creek (小河), McRae found the road just ahead had been washed away. The storm had turned Fawcett Creek into a 100-feet-wide river. Water began to go into the car and the four of them had to climb onto the car’s roof. The car was floating about and was being swept toward the Tillamook River only a few miles ahead. Suddenly it stopped when hitting a logjam (浮木阻塞).The water swept over them, rising higher and higher. Stephanie screamed into the rainy night, almost crying.
“Mom, I have to go and get help,” her 11-year-old daughter Maggie cried.
Stephanie realized if she went by herself, Maggie couldn’t hold on to the other two babies. But Maggie was still recovering from foot surgery. How could she manage? Finally she shouted, “I’m proud of you. Be careful!”
As Maggie McRae struggled to reach the shore, she was all wet. The sixth grader started running to the nearest house. Inside, the neighbors immediately called 911 and were told that firefighters were making their way toward another trapped car. Maggie joined the neighbors, and helped the rescue team point out where her mother was. The firefighters saved McRae and her children by using a 35-foot-long ladder.
When Stephanie reached land in safety, Maggie raced into her mother’s arms. “She hugged me for five minutes,” Maggie remembers. Maggie accepted an award for her heroism, but she’s happier to get back to her sports team and her family.

(答案→)A
解析：
试题分析: 在一个暴雨的天气里，一个母亲和她的三个孩子被困在车里。在危急时刻，11岁的女儿自告奋勇去附近请求帮助，最终一家四口脱离危险。
【小题1】A 推理判断题。根据第二段Suddenly it stopped when hitting a logjam (浮木阻塞)可知，车是被浮木挡住了，要不然就已经被河水冲下去了。故选A。
【小题2】B 推理判断题。根据第二段The water swept over them, rising higher and higher. Stephanie screamed into the rainy night, almost crying.可知当时情景凶险，河水越来越高，Stephanie尖叫起来，几乎要哭泣了。当时她的心情应该是无助的，而不是“惊奇的”“失望的”或者“粗心的”。故选B。
【小题3】C 推理判断题。根据第四段But Maggie was still recovering from foot surgery. 和最后一段but she’s happier to get back to her sports team and her family. 可知，Maggie当时因为脚伤而一度停止运动。故选C。
【小题4】A 篇章理解题。根据文章事情的发展，可知结果是一家四口获救，故①Firefighters rescued McRae and her children from the river.应该是放在最后，故排除B，C。 根据第五段the neighbors immediately called 911 and were told that firefighters were making their way toward another trapped car. 通过“were told that”可知④The rescue team had got informed of the trouble at Fawcett Creek.并且②Firefighters were sent to the broken road. 发生在打911电话之前。故顺序为④②③⑤①，选A。
【小题5】B 主旨大意题。文章主要讲一个11岁的女孩子在被洪水围困时自告奋勇去附近请求帮助，最终一家四口脱离危险的故事。A选项中A heavy storm只是背景，故排除。C,D选项过于片面。故选B。
