（七）（2025·金昌）
Terry will never forget that day in 1968. Four - year - old Terry Hill and her younger brother Mikey were left alone in the car as their father went into a _1_. Terry was in the back seat while Mikey was in the front seat. Mikey wasn't wearing a seat belt. _2_ moved over to the driver's seat. As they waited for their father, Mikey was playing with the steering wheel(方向盘). Somehow, he hit the gear shift(换挡器). Because their car was _3_ on a small hill, it started moving back slowly. There were cars coming and going all around at that moment.
Terry tried to open the door. However, it was too _4_ for a 4 - year - old girl. She didn't know _5_ to do. Just then, Terry saw her dad _6_ out of the shop. But running right in front of him was someone else: a young man. He reached the car first, _7_ the brake(刹车) on and saved Terry and her brother just in time.
For over 50 years, Terry has always remembered how the stranger _8_ helped them out without thinking twice. “He ran to the car, got the door open, moved my brother over and put the brake on. Everything _9_ so fast,” Terry said. “He _10_ saw what needed to be done and acted immediately. That has had a huge influence on me for my whole life.”

答案： (七)[主旨大意]本文讲述了特里童年时和弟弟被独自留在车里，弟弟误触换挡器导致车辆滑行，最终被一位勇敢的陌生人及时救下的故事。
1. A 解析：根据 out of the shop 可知，此处指商店。
2. B 解析：根据“Mikey wasn’t wearing a seat belt.”可知，此处指代 Mikey，所以用 He。
3. A 解析：根据“Somehow，he hit the gear shift.”和 it started moving back slowly 可知，弟弟碰到了换挡器导致车移动，所以车原本是静止停放的状态。
4. C 解析：根据“Terry tried to open the door.”和 However 可知，应是特里力气不足，难以打开车门，因为车门对她来说太重了。
5. D 解析：空处是宾语从句的引导词，且作 do 的宾语，所以用 what 引导。
6. B 解析：根据“But running right in front of him was someone else：a young man.”可知，父亲是匆忙跑出来的。
7. C 解析：根据 the brake on and saved Terry and her brother just in time 及上文车往后移动可知，应是这个人踩了刹车，救下了特里和她弟弟，put the brake on 意为“踩刹车”。
易错分析
本题考查与“brake(刹车)”搭配的动词短语。put the brake on 是固定表达，意为“踩刹车”，符合语境中“停车救人”的动作逻辑。学生易误选 D(touched)，认为“触碰刹车”也能表达意思，但 touch 仅强调“接触”，无法体现“刹车生效”的关键动作；而“put... on”更准确地表达了“操作并启动刹车”的完整含义，是符合语境的固定搭配。
8. C 解析：根据“how the stranger...helped them out without thinking twice”可知，此处强调陌生人帮助他人脱困时的勇敢。
9. A 解析：根据“Everything... so fast”可知，描述事件发生迅速。
10. D 解析：根据“...saw what needed to be done”可知，应是说恰好看到了需要做什么。
