Question

One terribly cold day, a snowstorm hit our area. Needing firewood, I quickly set out with my best friend, Bruce, to look for a tree to cut down. Cutting down a tree in a snowstorm can be dangerous. (1) So to have a friend who could warn me of dangerso was important.
When I chose a big 23-meter-tall tree and prepared to cut it down, Bruce suddenly warned me, “Don’t cut down that tree! It’s too close to the power line!” I wasn’t sure about it. So I decided to disregard his warning. I couldn’t wait to finish the job and go back home. I began cutting down the tree. (2) When the tree fell, there was no longer any doubt whether my friend was right.
The tree caught the power line, bringing it to the ground. I considered cutting the tree off the line. After all, electricity can’t travel through wood. As I reached out my finger to touch the tree, pain ran up my arm and through my head. I had been shocked!
After I returned home and told my mother what happened, she quickly called the power company. Workers from the power company soon arrived. One of them asked if I had touched the tree, and when I told him I had, his face turned pale. “You should have been killed,” he said. It was my boots that saved my life.
(3)Within two hours, the workers removed the tree. Soon the snowstorm calmed down——but not my mother. Even though she was glad that I wasn’t hurt, my mother was still serious with me. After all（畢竟）, I shouldn’t have brushed off my friend’s warning.

Answer 1

【小題1】So it was important to have a friend who could warn me of dangers.
【小題2】當樹砍倒時，（所發(fā)生的事表明）毫無疑問我朋友說的話是正確的。
【小題3】It took the workers two hours to remove the tree.

解析試題分析：這篇短文中作者主要記述了自己一次砍樹的經(jīng)歷，由于不聽從朋友的勸告，最好把電線掛斷，自己也差點一次喪命。
【小題1】考察強調句式, It is adj for sb to do sth，做某事對某人來說怎么樣。本句中it是形式主語，指代后面不定式內容做形式主語.
【小題2】考察句式it is no doubt 無疑……。
【小題3】考察take用法。take 用于 it takes sb ... to do sth句型，僅指花費時間（three hours等），必須用it作形式主語，指代下文不定式內容。
考點：記述文閱讀
