Part C. READING
I.
Read the following text and choose the correct answer for each question.
The Empire State Building and its occupants suffered a serious trauma one
Saturday morning in 1945. The Empire State Building was, quite suddenly and
without warning, struck by an airplane.
That morning, an experienced army pilot named Bill Smith took off from
Bedford, Massachusetts in a B-25 bomber with two passengers on board. He was
head for Newark, New Jersey in very foggy condition. About an hour into the
flight, the plane was in the middle of New York City rather than at its intended
destination. The pilot was able to maneuver the plane around several skyscrapers
before it crashed into the 79th floor of one of the tall buildings, the 102-floor Empire
State Building.
When the plane hit the building, there was a huge amount of destruction. There was a big
hole in the outside of the building, and parts of the plane crushed through interior walls
on the 78 and 79th floors. Then, when the fuel tank exploded, six floors of the building
went up in flames.
There was also a human toll. Fourteen lives were lost in the crash; the number would
have been far greater, however, if the accident had occurred on a weekday rather than on
a Saturday. During working hours, there might have 25,000 people in the building.
