Question

How many of us have heard that question, "Where was GOD when the World Trade Center(世貿中心) and the Pentagon(五角大樓) were attacked?" Well, I know where my GOD was the morning of September 11, 2001, and He was very busy!

He was trying to discourage anyone from taking these flights. Those four flights together held over 1000 passengers and there were only 266 aboard.

He was on 4 commercial flights giving frightened passengers the ability to stay calm. Not one of the family members who were called by a loved one on one of the hijacked(被劫持的) planes said that passengers were screaming in the background. On one of the flights he was giving strength to passengers to try to overtake the hijackers.

He was busy trying to create obstacles(阻礙) for employees at the World Trade Center. After all, only around 20,000 were at the towers when the first jet hit. Since the buildings held over 50,000 workers, this was a Miracle in itself. How many of the people who were employed at the World Trade Center told the media that they were late for work or they had traffic delays.

He was holding up 2-110 story buildings so that 2/3 of the workers could get out. I was so amazed that the top of the towers didn't fall when the jets crashed. And when they did fall, GOD made them fall inward, as many more lives would have been lost.

So when anyone asks, "Where was your GOD on September 11," you can say "everywhere"! And yes, although this is without a doubt the worst thing I have seen in my life, I see God's miracles in every bit of it. I can't imagine going through such a difficult time and not believing in GOD – life would be hopeless. So shines a good deed in a weary world!

試題分析：本文介紹了很多人在911襲擊發生時在問上帝在哪里，而作者舉了很多例子來說明，上帝創造了許多奇跡，避免更多人失去生命。人們要保持信仰，相信上帝。

1.

2.根據第二段中“Those four flights together held over 1000 passengers and there were only 266 aboard”四架航班加一起可容納超過1000名乘客，而當時只有266人登機，由此可知是四架飛機。因此A錯誤；根據第三段第一句“He was on 4 commercial flights giving frightened passengers the ability to stay calm.”他4商業航班上給嚇壞了乘客保持冷靜的能力，由此可知乘客在一開始是害怕的。因此B錯誤；根據第四段最后一句“ How many of the people who were employed at the World Trade Center told the media that they were late for work or they had traffic delays.”有多少的人在世界貿易中心告訴媒體,他們遲到了工作或交通延誤。可知C正確；根據第五段最后一句“And when they did fall, GOD made them fall inward, as many more lives would have been lost”當他們下降,上帝讓他們向內側落下,原本會有更多的生命會被奪取，可知許多人獲救了，因此D錯誤。故選C。

3.閱讀劃線詞所在的段落內容可知，原本會有50000多人上班的世貿中心，那天只有20000在大樓里，因此是個奇跡了。故選D。

4.。故選B。
