U.S. officials have charged the mother of a young man. It is said that Tonya Couch and her son, Ethan fled to Mexico in November. Ethan Couch was wanted by U.S. officials for violating his punishment, in connection with a drunk-driving crash that killed four people two years ago.
    That crash happened when Couch was 16 years old and drunk. He crashed into a car that was on the side of the road. He was found guilty and sentenced to 10 years under observation.
    Mexico drove out the mother of the young man on Wednesday. She is charged with violating the punishment of her son. In other words, she is charged with helping her son flee to Mexico. If convicted, she could face between two and 10 years in jail.
    The mother and son were arrested on Monday in Puerto Vallarta on Mexico’s west coast. U.S. officials located the two when Ethan Couch used one of their phones to order pizza.
    It could be weeks before Ethan Couch is sent back to the United States.
5. How old was Ethan Couch when the drunk-driving accident happened?
6. Why was Tonya Couch charged by the U.S. officials?
7. Where were Tonya and Ethan arrested by the U.S. officials?
选项 A、On the east coast: of the U.S.
B、On the west coast of the U.S.
C、On the west coast of Mexico.
D、On the east coast of Mexico.
答案 C
解析 选项均为表地点的介词短语，可知本题问地点。此外，几个选项之间十分相似，区别存于east／west coast和U．S．／Mexico，听音时要特别注意分辨跟这些关键词相关的信息。题目问Tonya和Ethan被拘捕的地点。新闻末尾的部分提到，这对母子周一在墨西哥西海岸的Puerto Vallarta被捕(The mother and son were arrested．．．on Mex—ico’s west coast)，由此可知答案为C项。
