Question

HOUSTON (AP) --- A 10-year-old boy fatally(致命地) shot his father Friday, striking him several times as he sat in the front seat of a SUV to pick up the boy from his mother's home for a weekend visit.

The incident happened about 3pm on a cul-desac（死胡同）in the 1700 block of Cedar Cove Court, said Sgt. Williams of the Harris County Sheriff's Department.

An investigation found that Rick James Lohstroh, 41, was shot by his son, who was sitting in the back seat of the man's Toyota 4-Runner, said Sgt. Williams. The shooting took place outside the home of Lohstroh's ex-wife, where the boy lives with his mother and a 7-year-old brother.

"We're not certain of anything until we finish our investigation," Williams said. "The information we have at this time is that the 10-year-old did fire the weapon."

The mother and the 7-year-old were inside the house when the shooting occurred, said Williams.

Williams said the gun belonged to the boy's mother. After firing shots through the back seat, the boy exited (離開) the back of the vehicle and continued to fire at the car.

The man died on the way to Memorial Herman Hospital.

Lohstroh was a doctor at the University of Texas Medical Branch.

The man and woman shared custody（監(jiān)護）of the children.

Williams said the mother and the boy were still in the home talking to investigators Friday night.

Neighbors described the family as being quiet and keeping to themselves.

Justin Gray, 17, was walking in the neighborhood when he heard gunshots. "We've had a suicide in this neighborhood once, but never anything like this," Gray said.

【解析】

試題分析：一個極端的槍殺案件——一個10歲的孩子槍殺了自己的父親。

1.A主旨大意題。該文是篇新聞報道，根據(jù)文章的第一段就可知，該新聞報道的是一個極端的槍殺案件——10歲的孩子槍殺了自己的父親。故應(yīng)選擇A. A Boy Shot His Father為新聞標題，簡明扼要地道出了中心事件。

2.D推理判斷題。文章并沒提到孩子槍殺父親的原因，所以排除選項A.B.且根據(jù)文章最后一句“We've had a suicide in this neighborhood once, but never anything like this," Gray said.”可以排除選項C.而根據(jù)文章中“pick up the boy from his mother's home for a weekend visit.”和“The shooting took place outside the home of Lohstroh's ex-wife, where the boy lives with his mother and a 7-year-old brother.”可以推知，這個孩子的父母已經(jīng)離婚了。故該題正確答案為D.

3.C細節(jié)信息題。通讀全文可知，文章并沒提到孩子槍殺父親的原因，故該題正確答案為C.is unknown.

4.B詞義推測題。根據(jù)該句的后半句，Gray講到“但從沒發(fā)生過類似于此的案件”，所以前半句是說在這兒曾經(jīng)也發(fā)生過“不好的事件”（但程度沒這個案件這么極端），結(jié)合選項可知正確答案為B.
