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.
Which of the following caused the hole in the wall?
选项 A、Water that sprayed on it.
B、The electrician who worked on the wires.
C、The refrigerator that crashed into it.
D、The plumber who used a wrong tool.
答案C
解析 此题是一道细节判断题，考查考生根据文章具体内容和相关重点细节进行分析判断的能力。问题问下面哪个把墙弄出洞的。利用查阅式阅读，我们可以在文章的第三段找到相关信息：因为水已经影响到电线了，我的冰箱停止了工作。我叫了一个电工来修理冰箱。电工不得不把冰箱搬开，来修检电线。在调整冰箱的平衡时，她绊倒在水管工的工具箱上。她跌倒在地，而冰箱也倒了下来，撞到了墙上，导致墙上出现了一个巨大的洞。因此，本题的正确答案应该是C，冰箱撞到墙上了。选项A：水喷洒在墙上了，文中没有提到；B：修理电线的电工，不符合原文内容；D：用错工具的水管工，不符合原文内容。所以，这三个选项均为干扰项。
