【題目】任務型閱讀
In May 2001, I found a job in New York at the World Trade Center. On September 11, 2001, I arrived at my building at around 8:30 a.m. I was about to go up when I decided to get a coffee first. I went to my favorite coffee place even though it was two blocks east from my office. As I was waiting in line with other officer workers, I heard a loud sound. Before I could join the others outside to see what was going on, the first plane had already hit my office building. We stared in disbelief at the black smoke rising above the burning building. I felt lucky to be alive.

【解析】文章大意：2001年9月11日，是一個很多人都難忘的日子，作者就是這個事件的經歷者，他就在世貿中心的辦公室工作，但是幸運的是，事情發(fā)生的時候，他去咖啡店買咖啡，很幸運的逃過了一劫。
（1）根據短文中On September 11, 2001, I arrived at my building at around 8:30 a.m. I was about to……可知，這件事情發(fā)生在2001年9月11號。故填On September 11, 2001。
（2）根據短文中I went to my favorite coffee place even though it was two blocks east from my office可知，作者去的咖啡店在離他辦公室向東兩個街區(qū)的地方。故填It was two blocks east(from his office).
（3）根據短文中As I was waiting in line with other officer workers, I heard a loud sound可知，當作者正在等咖啡的時候，他聽到了一聲巨響。故填He was waiting in line with other officer workers
