【答案解析】 [听力原文]
   W: Now, sir, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I had to look after the traffic on the road until some more police arrived. You're the driver of the blue car, I believe.
   M: Yes.
   W: Just a few questions, sir. Do you feel all right?
   M: Yes, I'm...I'm fine now. I was a little shaken up at first.
   W: Well, I'll try not to keep you long. I just want a few details, and the rest of the information I can get tomorrow. Can I have your name and address, please?
   M: Jeremiah Simpson, 15 Portland Crescent, Leeds.
   W: Have you got your driving license and insurance certificate with you?
   M: Yes. Oh, here they are.
   W: Thank you...Yes, they're all right. Now, were there any passengers in the car?
   M: Er yes, my wife and a friend—a young lady. My wife was sitting in the back and her friend in the front passenger seat.
   W: Where are they now?
   M: The ambulance has just taken them to hospital. You spoke to the ambulance driver before he set off. Did he say anything about the young lady?
   W: He said that her injuries looked worse than they really were. The other woman—that'd be your wife, I assume—appeared to be suffering from shock.
   M: Yes, I know. They advised her to go to hospital for a check-up, just in case.
   W: Mm... Was the young lady wearing her seatbelt?
   M: No, unfortunately. I told her to put it on, but she couldn't adjust it. I don't think it was worth stopping the car because we were only going a few miles.
   W: Did she go through the windscreen?
   M: No, she was very lucky. But she hurt her leg on the dashboard.
   W: Mm...It could have been much worse. Now, sir, will you tell me in your own words what happened?
   M: Well, as you can see, I was traveling along this main road when suddenly the other car came out of that side street. It all happened so quickly. I just didn't see him until he hit me.
   W: I've just spoken to the other motorist and he says that you were speeding.
   M: What?
   W: Is this true?
   M: That's a lie. My wife and Becky will tell you that I stopped at the pedestrian crossing just down there. You can see it's only fifty yards I could hardly have reached thirty miles an hour by the time I got here. Goodness knows what wonld've happened if I'd been going faster.
   Why did the police come late?
对话中,警察对司机解释为什么会让他等待时说,在其他警察来到之前,她要管理交通。因此选择C项。A项“警察忙于另一个交通事故”并未在对话中出现,B项提到了对话中出现的另外一个司机,但警察并没有将其送到医院,D项“警察遇到交通阻塞”在对话中未出现。
