(B)
We've all seen ambulances come speeding down the road, prepared to help when disaster strikes. But sometimes even an ambulance can't arrive fast enough to save someone's life. Every year, many people die waiting for an ambulance to arrive because the ambulance gets stuck in traffic or is simply too far away. Doctor Eli Beer is trying to solve this problem by using motorcycles. He set up United Hatzalah, a volunteer-run organization to save lives. He gathered a team of volunteers and trained them, then he gave each of them a motorcycle with medicine and other medical things. When someone calls to tell them of an emergency, Beer's technology calculates which volunteer is closest to the scene. As soon as that volunteer is told, he or she drops everything and rushes over.
2. What do the underlined words "this problem" refer to in the passage?
()
A. People are waiting for death when disaster comes.
B. The ambulance can't arrive to save people in time.
C. The ambulance is far away and gets broken on the way.

3. What is the main reason why the volunteers in United Hatzalah are faster than an ambulance?
()
A. Because they have a special technology.
B. Because they can drop everything to save.
C. Because they are closer and they use motorcycle.
D. Because they are well trained and have better medicine.

2.B
3.C

2.题干中“this problem”为指代题，需要确定其在上文中的具体指代内容。根据题目文段中“But sometimes even an ambulance can't arrive fast enough to save someone's life. Every year, many people die waiting for an ambulance to arrive…”，可知“this problem”指的是救护车无法及时到达以救人的问题，因此选择B选项。
3.题目询问United Hatzalah志愿者比救护车更快的主要原因。根据题目文段中“…by using motorcycles…calculates which volunteer is closest to the scene…he or she drops everything and rushes over”，可知志愿者因为距离更近且使用摩托车，因此比救护车更快，所以选择C选项。

我们都见过救护车在道路上疾驰而来，准备在灾难发生时提供帮助。但有时，即使是救护车也无法足够快地赶到以挽救某人的生命。每年，都有许多人在等待救护车到来的过程中死亡，因为救护车会被交通堵塞困住，或者仅仅是距离太远。伊莱·比尔医生正试图通过使用摩托车来解决这个问题。他成立了“联合哈扎拉”，这是一个由志愿者运营的拯救生命的组织。他召集了一支志愿者队伍并对他们进行培训，然后给他们每个人配备了一辆带有药品和其他医疗用品的摩托车。当有人打电话告知他们有紧急情况时，比尔的技术会计算出哪位志愿者离现场最近。一旦那位志愿者得到通知，他或她就会放下手头的一切，飞奔过去。
