Question 3 is based on the news report you have just heard.

News Report Two

听力原文

A man from Libya was enjoying a walk along the sands at Southport Beach. When he was about half a mile out from the dock, he felt a bit tired. So he lay down and fell asleep, but the tide swept in quickly at the beach. And the man was shocked to wake up and find the tide had come in and completely surrounded him, cutting him off from the shore. (3) Fortunately for him, the beach lifeguards were quickly on the scene to stop him from drowning. They acted professionally to ensure the man was comfortable until an ambulance arrived. He was then taken to hospital. He is now in a stable condition. When interviewed, Keith Porter of the Southport Beach said, “Our beach is so flat that it’s very common for the tide to come around the back of people and cut them off from the beach. (4) Thankfully the emergency services have again worked well together to ensure a positive outcome and we wish the gentleman a speedy recovery.”

3. What does the news report say about the Libyan man?

解析：B。录音中间指出，这名利比亚男子醒来后发现潮水已经淹没了沙滩，好在海滩救生员很快到达现场施救，才使他免于溺亡。由此可知该男子差点溺亡。B项中的drowned与原文中的drowning属于同义复现，故选B。其余选项在原文中均未提及，故排除。
