4．It started as a special day for Wesley Autrey，a 50-year-old construction worker in New York City．It was about 12：45P．M．，and he was waiting on a subway platform （月臺） to take his daughters home before he went to work．He suddenly noticed a man nearby have convulsions （抽搐） and fall down suddenly．Mr．Autrey and two women went to help the stranger．The man，Cameron Hollopeter，managed to get to his feet，but then stumbled （絆倒） at the edge of the platform and fell onto the subway tracks．Mr．Autrey looked up and saw the lights of the subway train coming near through the tunnel．
Mr．Autrey jumped onto the track immediately．He realized that he didn't have time to get Mr．Hollopeter and himself back up on the platform before the train arrived，so he lay on top of the man and pressed down as hard as he could．Although the driver tried to stop the train before it reached them，he couldn't．Five cars passed over them before the train finally stopped．The cars had passed only inches from his head．

22．D．主旨大意題．從文中第一段的最后一句和第二段的第一句 Mr．Autrey looked up and saw the lights of the subway train coming near through the tunnel．Mr．Autrey jumped onto the track immediately即奧特里先生抬頭看到地鐵列車接近通過隧道燈．奧特里先生跳到軌道上可知他是個勇敢的人，故選D．
23．A．推理判斷題．從最后一段Wesley Autrey說的話I don't feel like I did anything great； I just saw someone who needed help．I did what I felt was right可知他對此事看得很淡，認為自己只是做了自己該做的事，故選A．
