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.
点睛
短语turn sth. upside down意为“使某物颠倒,底朝天”。ran a stop sign在本句中意为“闯过了一个停车标志”,要注意其中run的特殊用法。crash into意为“碰撞,撞击”。考点归纳
动词run除了常见的“跑”的含义外,在听力中还会用到其他含义:“参加赛跑”。如:
The old man ran the marathon, too. 那位老人也参加了马拉松比赛。
“管理,经营”。如:
Don't run my life. 不要操纵我的生活。
“提供,开设”。如:
The university also runs various courses for adults. 这所大学还为成人开设了各类课程。
“操作,运转”。如:
My new computer is running smoothly. 我的新电脑运转正常。
