90. But her life was turned upside down when a motorist, distracted by his cell phone, ran a stop sign and crashed into the side of her car.
點睛
短語turn sth. upside down意為“使某物顛倒,底朝天”。ran a stop sign在本句中意為“闖過了一個停車標志”,要注意其中run的特殊用法。crash into意為“碰撞,撞擊”。
考點歸納
動詞run除了常見的“跑”的含義外,在聽力中還會用到其他含義:
“參加賽跑”。如:
The old man ran the marathon, too. 那位老人也參加了馬拉松比賽。
“管理,經(jīng)營”。如:
Don't run my life. 不要操縱我的生活。
“提供,開設(shè)”。如:
The university also runs various courses for adults. 這所大學(xué)還為成人開設(shè)了各類課程。
“操作,運轉(zhuǎn)”。如:
My new computer is running smoothly. 我的新電腦運轉(zhuǎn)正常。
