The Kid That Saved His Dad
On a sunny day last April,Bode,then nine,and his father,John Taylor,54,were snowmobiling around the remote country of Lake Tahoe.As they were driving on the snow,a little dry branch jammed in the brake of John's vehicle.Unable to slow down,John rushed toward a pine tree.He moved to jump off the vehicle before it crashed,but his pantleg (裤腿) caught underneath it.John felt his leg broken.As he sank six inches into the powdery snow, he could tell his arms and shoulder were injured too.Bode rushed to dig out his father,but John stopped him.They had no water,little food,and no cell phone service."Get on your snowmobile,"John told Bode."Follow the road,and try to find help."
After a 20-minute ride,Bode spotted a tour group and asked the guide radio for help.The rescuers quickly appeared on the scene.And Bode led them through the white wilderness to his dad,who was pale and in pain.
While they were waiting for a plane to send John to the nearest hospital,the rescuers quickly stabilized his leg.An hour later,he received surgery for the broken,leg and internal bleeding.
Today,John's leg has healed enough for him to take Bode out on dirt bikes.Father and son now carry extra devices on their trips,including a two-way radio withan emergency button."I'm still a little afraid to go out on a snowmobile,"says Bode."But'm starting to feel better about it."
Tisha Shaw,Bode’s mother,says her son's courage and quick thinking have led her to treat him as more of an adult.She lets him stay up later at night because"I trust his judgment," she says.
正确。根据原文第一段,Bode 和他的父亲去年四月份去 Lake Tahoe 玩雪地摩托。因此,选项“Bode and his father wentsnowmobiling last April.”是正确的。
错误。原文说的是一根干枯的小树枝卡在了 John 的雪地摩托的刹车上,而不是John 的雪地摩托坏了。因此选项“Bode’s snowmobile brokedown on the way.”是错误的。
正确。根据原文第一段,John 在雪地摩托时发生事故并受伤,所以选项“John hadan accident and injuredhimself.”是正确的。
错误。原文中他们没有手机服务,John 让 Bode 坐上雪地摩托沿着路寻找帮助,因此选项“John told his son to make a callfor help.”是错误的。
正确。根据原文"After a 20-minute ride,Bode spotted a tour group andasked the guideradio for help",Bode 遇到了一队旅游者,并使用了旅游向导的无线电请求帮助,因此可以得出结论,一个旅游向导帮助 Bode 联系了救援人员。
错误。根据原文"While they were waiting for a plane to send John to thenearesthospital,the rescuers quickly stabilized hisleg.",救援人员在等待飞机将John 送往最近的医院时,稳定了他的腿伤,而不是在飞机上稳定了他的腿伤。因此,这个陈述是不正确的。
未提及。根据原文"An hour later,he received surgery for the broken,legand internalbleeding.",一个小时后,John 接受了骨折、腿部和内出血的手术,但并没有提到手术持续了多长时间。
正确。根据原文中的句子“Father and son now carry extra devices on theirtrips,including atwo-way radio with an emergencybutton”,可以得知 Bode 和他的父亲现在携带了额外的设备,包括一个带有紧急按钮的双向无线电,因此他们现在比以前准备的更好了。
未提及。在文中没有提到 Bode 学会了快速使用双向无线电。
正确。根据原文中的句子“Tisha Shaw,Bode’s mother,says her son’scourage and quick thinkinghave led her to treat him as more of an adult.”,可以推断出 Tisha Shaw 对她的儿子有很高的评价。
