单选题 The big red American car was much too wide for an English country road. When Jack saw it coming toward him, he stopped his own car at the side of the road to make room for it to pass. The American car went slowly past, so close that he could see the driver's face quite clearly.
"Where have I seen that face before?" he thought, "Wait a minute! I remember now. It was in the newspaper!" He took out the newspaper from his bag, turned quickly to the middle page. There was a picture of the face in it. Yes, he had a large mouth and small ears, and his eyes were behind dark glasses.
"Wanted by the police," read by Jack. "The City Bank will give a lot of money to anyone who helps:the police to catch this man."
"Call the police at once," he said to himself. But a few minutes later, he was sad. "This man was caught this morning," answered the police.

【答案解析】[解析] 题干的意思是故事发生在英国。文中"The big red American car was much too wide for an English country road。”的意思是一辆大的红色美国汽车对英国乡村道路来说太宽了。从这句可以推断这件事情发生在英国的一条乡间小路上。因此题干是对的。

单选题 Neither Jack nor the American driver was wanted by the police.

  • C. Doesn't say
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 题干的意思是Jack和这辆美国汽车的司机都不是警察要抓的人。本题的难点在于文中有“There was a picture of the face in it”一句，意思是在报纸上有一张通缉犯的照片。考生容易产生跟Jack一样的误解，误认为这个美国司机是罪犯。但文中警察告诉 Jack，罪犯早上已经被抓到了(“was caught this morning”)，因此可以判断美国司机不会是罪犯。而Jack不是罪犯比较容易得出结论。因此题干的意思是正确的。
