问题     I have a vegetable garden and every summer I enjoy eating my own vegetables. One day last summer 1 picked a dozen carrots. Usually, as soon as I have picked the carrots, I clean the dirt off them by washing them in a bucket of water. But this day, as I was getting up from the ground with my twelve carrots, I tripped(绊)and fell over the bucket. The water spilled out of the bucket, so I decided to wash the carrots quickly in the kitchen sink. I put the carrots in the sink, washed them with water, and watched all the dirt washed away down the drain.
    The next day, when I was washing dishes, I noticed that the water drained out of the sink much more slowly than usual. It drained so slowly that I called a plumber(水管工)to come and fix my drain. The plumber tried a lot of different cleaners and equipment, but nothing worked. He had to cut a hole in the floor where the drain pipe was in order to try to find the problem. While he was cutting the small hole, he accidentally cut the hot-water pipe. Hot water sprayed over the plumber, onto the floor, under the refrigerator; water went everywhere.
    My refrigerator stopped working because the water had affected the electrical wires. I called an electrician to come and fix the refrigerator. The electrician had to move the refrigerator to work on the wires. As she was balancing it, she tripped over the plumber’s tools. She fell down and the refrigerator tipped over. It crashed into the wall, resulting in a huge hole in the wall.
    I called a carpenter to come and fix the wall. In order to repair the hole in the wall, the carpenter had to tear down half of the entire wall. Meanwhile, the plumber was still looking for the source of the drain problem. Since the kitchen was in a terrible mess anyway, the plumber decided to remove part of the floor to look at the pipe there. In the middle of the floor, he found the problem: the dirt from the carrots was stuck in the pipe and nothing could go through.
    Now I had a sink that did not drain, a refrigerator that did not work, a wall that was half gone, and part of a floor that was missing. I looked at this disaster and decided that what I really needed was a new kitchen. Finally, I called a house builder to come and fix my kitchen. Three weeks later I had a new sink, a new refrigerator, new cupboards on a new wall, new tiles on a new floor, and $ 10,000 less in my bank.
The carrots were washed in the sink instead of the bucket because______.
选项 A、the water bucket fell over
B、dinner needed to be made soon
C、carrots were always washed in it
D、they could be washed more cleanly
答案A
解析 此题是一道细节题，考查考生根据文章中相关重点细节进行分析判断的能力。问题问为什么胡萝卜是在水池中而不是在水桶里洗的。文章第一段叙述了作者在菜园中拔完胡萝卜起身想用水桶中的水洗时，不小心摔倒在水桶上，水桶里的水泼洒了一地，所以他只好到厨房的水池中冲洗了。因此，本题的正确答案应该是A，水桶翻了。选项B：晚餐必须很快做好，文章中没有提及；C：胡萝卜总是在水池中洗的，与原文内容不符；D：可以将胡萝卜洗得更干净些，文中没有提到；所以这三个选项均为干扰项。
