单选题 A. searched for B. held up C. taken over D. broken into

单选题 A. walks B. looks C. marches D. drives
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】暴徒只有进了银行才能抢到钱,由此排除B而选A。march表示迈着正步雄纠纠气昂昂地进去,与事实不符,drive表示开车进去,不合情理。
单选题 A. for B. by C. to D. of
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】help oneself to为固定短语,意为“不客气地吃(拿)”。故选C。
单选题 A. satisfaction B. difficulty C. disappointment D. spirit
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】托德想:这个家伙轻而易举地走进银行,毫不客气地拿走了15万美元,而自己为开办加油站设法搞到这笔钱是多么地艰难。do sth. with difficulty表示“做某事很费劲”。
单选题 A. saved B. made C. offered D. needed
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】根据句中get以及下句内容可知托德开办加油站的这笔钱,不是自己攒下的,也不是挣来的,肯定是借贷来的,故选D为佳。offer意为“主动给予”,不合文意。
单选题 A. collect B. prove C. sign D. write
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】句中papers表示“文件”,借贷必须要签署一些文件,故选C。
单选题 A. continued B. lasted C. spread D. arrived
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】先排除D。spread表示“传开”,与句中时间状语不符。lasted表示“持续”,应接表示一段时间的状语,而twenty minutes later意为“20分钟以后”,是个时间点,故B也不妥。本题选A,意思是:“20分钟后电台又继续报道事态的发展。”
单选题 A. bought B. borrowed C. stolen D. stopped
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】句中for a ride意为“搭车”,表示前面动作的目的,故选D,表示“拦车搭乘”。另三项中的动词均要求暴徒自己开车,这与for a ride不符,故应排除。

【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】根据情节,应选D,意为“把司机推出车外”。
单选题 A. calling from B. fleeing from C. heading for D. looking for

单选题 A. news B. warning C. advice D. voice
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】听到的是播音员的声音,故选D。前面的报道中没有warning或advice之意,所以谈不上continued,故排除B、C两项。the news of the announcer意为“播音员自身的消息”,不合文意。

【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】look out for是固定短语,意为“注意,警惕”。
单选题 A. guests B. strangers C. prisoners D. passengers
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】“乘客”不是guests,而是passengers,故排除C。要求司机不要让陌生人搭车这一语意可以成立,故选B。pick up sb.意为“让某人搭车”。
单选题 A. harm B. favor C. recognized D. happened
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】句意是:“任何加油站的人最好不要对白色福特车提供服务”。do a favour for sb.意为“帮某人一个忙”,do business with sb.意为“与某人做生意”。这两个短语的意思及介词搭配均不适合于本句。
单选题 A. tried B. deided C. hoped D. happened
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】根据下文中的dark一词,应填tried,表示“想要看清外面寒冷的夜色”,选A。
单选题 A. onsidered B. knew C. recognised D. learnt
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】虽然天黑,但托德熟悉周围的环境,知道南国大道就在那边。本题选B。recognized意为“辨认出”,与dark一词不符。learnt意为“听说”,与前文无法连贯。considered是一种思维活动,与语意不符。
单选题 A. then B. there C. right D. now
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】just then=just at that time,意为“就在那时”。Just there虽可以指“就在南国大道上”,但从上文out there可知南国大道离加油站还有一段距离,这与下文车已开到跟前这一情景不符,故排除B。
单选题 A. directions B. repairs C. gas D. peaking
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】pull in for gas意为“进站加油”。另三项与gas station所提供的服务不符。

【答案解析】直接引语中的问号提示本题应选D。
