Answer 1

答案：1．D;2．C;3．A;4．B;5．B;
解析：

(1)	细节题。根据There was no evidence for it except a slight headache and a little knowing the people near him but believed in his sixth sense可知，他是通过第六感觉觉察到自己被人跟踪了。
(2)	细节题。当Bond停下来时，他观察到的情况有：mostly on the same side as himself…no sudden movement into a doorway…nobody wiping his face with a handkerchief…nobody bending down to tie a shoelace．只有C项没有提及。
(3)	推断题。根据he was being followed,…believed in his sixth sense and he at once stopped in front of the shop window…looked occasionally back along 46th Street可以推断出，Bond停下来的目的是要弄清楚到底是谁在跟踪他。
(4)	句意推测题。后面有句话：he felt something press into his back just above the kidney．他感觉到什么东西顶在他的腰部，他意识到可能遇上歹徒了。持枪歹徒通常会威胁受害人：Don’t move or I’ll shoot you．故B项最佳。
(5)	词语猜测题。从前面部分我们了解到，当他往后面看的时候，并没有发现可疑的情况。后面有人跟踪的话，我们一般会说：“后面有尾巴。”而a front tail则是反过来说的，所以，a front tail，应该是“被人从前面跟踪了”。因为这是朋友搞的恶作剧。
