【4】C．考查动词。A. watched观看； B. after在---之后； C. followed 跟随； D. ran after追赶。警车跟在她后面，用followed，而watched不妥，因为主语是警车，而不是人。ran after 也不对，警车在此之前没理由追赶她。故选C。

【12】B．考查动词。A. speaking说话； B. saying 说； C. talking 谈论； D. telling告诉。强调说话的内容用say，指说话的动作或讲某种语言用speak。故选B。

【13】C．考查动词。A. seeing看见； B. getting 得到； C. carrying携带； D. bringing拿来。表示随身携带，不强调方向性，用carry，而bring则表示由远往近带来。故选C。

【14】D．考查动词。A. took 拿走； B. brought 拿来； C. picked 挑选； D. chose选择。此处是挑了一根小眼的针，如用took, brought和pick都要加up或out。故选D。
