Brave Frenchman Found Half??way Around the World
(NEW YORK)A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two??year??old girl in Manhattan said he didn't think twice before diving into the freezing East River.
Tuesday's Daily News said 29??year??old Julien Duret from France is the man who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday.
He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Seaport museum. He handed the girl to her father,David Anderson, who had dived in after him.
“I didn't think at all.”Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.”
Duret,an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier(碼頭)when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll,but realized it was a child when he approached the river, in an instant, he took off his coat and jumped into the water.
When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately,when she was out of the water, she opened her eyes.
Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.
The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn't realize his tale of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning.

答案與解析
本文是一篇新聞報道類文章。介紹了一位到美國度假旅游的法國工程師成功地救出了一位溺水女孩,成為了紐約的英雄。
1.C 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章開始的“A French tourist...”和后文中的“Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier(碼頭) when he saw something falling into the water.”可知Duret 到紐約是為了度假。
2.D 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“...29??year??old Julien Duret from France is the man who left the spot quickly after the rescue...”可知Duret 把小女孩從水中救出后立刻與他的女朋友離開了現(xiàn)場。
3.A 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dived in after him.”可知,繼Duret 之后跳進水中的人是這位小女孩的父親David Anderson。
4.B 主觀推斷題。Duret 從水中救出女孩后便離開了現(xiàn)場,所以不可能知道是誰救的這位女孩,所以D項錯。他要離開美國回法國的那一天,他早就成為了英雄,所以不可能是A項。他到達美國的第一天還沒有發(fā)生此事,故C項錯。
