HOUSTON (AP) --- A 10-year-old boy fatally(致命地) shot his father Friday, striking him several times as he sat in the front seat of a SUV to pick up the boy from his mother's home for a weekend visit.
The incident happened about 3pm on a cul-desac（死胡同）in the 1700 block of Cedar Cove Court, said Sgt. Williams of the Harris County Sheriff's Department.
An investigation found that Rick James Lohstroh, 41, was shot by his son, who was sitting in the back seat of the man's Toyota 4-Runner, said Sgt. Williams. The shooting took place outside the home of Lohstroh's ex-wife, where the boy lives with his mother and a 7-year-old brother.
"We're not certain of anything until we finish our investigation," Williams said. "The information we have at this time is that the 10-year-old did fire the weapon."
The mother and the 7-year-old were inside the house when the shooting occurred, said Williams.
Williams said the gun belonged to the boy's mother. After firing shots through the back seat, the boy exited (离开) the back of the vehicle and continued to fire at the car.[来源:学.科.网]

试题分析：一个极端的枪杀案件——一个10岁的孩子枪杀了自己的父亲。
【小题1】A主旨大意题。该文是篇新闻报道，根据文章的第一段就可知，该新闻报道的是一个极端的枪杀案件——10岁的孩子枪杀了自己的父亲。故应选择A. A Boy Shot His Father为新闻标题，简明扼要地道出了中心事件。
【小题2】D推理判断题。文章并没提到孩子枪杀父亲的原因，所以排除选项A.B.且根据文章最后一句“We've had a suicide in this neighborhood once, but never anything like this," Gray said.”可以排除选项C.而根据文章中“pick up the boy from his mother's home for a weekend visit.”和“The shooting took place outside the home of Lohstroh's ex-wife, where the boy lives with his mother and a 7-year-old brother.”可以推知，这个孩子的父母已经离婚了。故该题正确答案为D.
【小题3】C细节信息题。通读全文可知，文章并没提到孩子枪杀父亲的原因，故该题正确答案为C.is unknown.
【小题4】B词义推测题。根据该句的后半句，Gray讲到“但从没发生过类似于此的案件”，所以前半句是说在这儿曾经也发生过“不好的事件”（但程度没这个案件这么极端），结合选项可知正确答案为B.
