Question

Mr. White works in an office. One day, when he had lunch, a friend came to visit him. They were very happy and talked a lot. Then he looked at the clock on the wall. It was time to go to office. He had to say goodbye to his friend and left. It was raining hard and the streets were wet. He drove too fast to see the red lights. And he couldn’t stop his car and hit a car in front of his. An old man got off and called out angrily(生气地),“What are you doing? Do you want to hit me to death(死)？”

“I’m sorry, sir,” said Mr. White. “I didn’t find the light turned red.” Then he brought out a bottle of wine(酒)and gave it to the old man.

“It’s very cold today, sir,” said Mr. White, “Please drink a little, then you will be warm.”

Answer 1

答案：B;D;C;A;D
解析：

1．  根据第一段可知，这个故事发生在午饭后，故选B。 2．  Then he looked at the clock on the wall. It was time to go to office.因为到了上班的时间了，所以他开的很快，害怕迟到，故选D。 3．  And he couldn’t stop his car and hit a car in front of his.根据这句可知，它停不了车了，所以撞在了另一辆车上，故选C。 4．  “I’m waiting for the policeman coming. Only drunkards(酒鬼)cause accidents(肇事)，you know!”根据这句和上文可知，他让老人喝酒是为了把责任推到这个老人的身上，故选A。 5．  根据全篇可知，Mr. White愚弄了这个老人，故选D。
