【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[名师解析] 这是一则幽默小故事。回家的路上作者的妻子看见店外的一个书架，她想买，“买”应该用动词buy，这里是个祈使句，而像want和like都不能放在祈使句开头，至少要加个主语，如I。他妻子说：“我们把它放车顶行李架上带回家，我一直想要个这样的东西。”“带回家”这里应该用take it home，carry是抬的意思，他们这里有车，所以不是抬回家的；put则是“放”的意思，因为后面有个home，所以肯定是放车里带回家的意思，不能用put。十分钟后他们载着书架回家了，根据题意这里应该用later。作者车开得很慢，别的司机似乎比以往都有礼貌，有的甚至停下来让其先行，所以这里应该是别的司机drivers。过了一会儿他妻子说：“后面跟着好长一车队伍，他们干嘛不超车?”根据题意，这些车都是跟在他们的车后面的，不敢超车，因为怕书架掉下来，所以应选behind。这时一辆警车开来，里面两个警察要求他们跟着警察的车穿过繁忙的车流。根据文意，这里只能是跟随follow，不可能是take，也不可能是move，不可能让作者去带警车或搬走警车。警车在教堂前停下来，其中一个警察说：“你们还需要别的帮助吗?”这里只能是帮助help，time和money选项都不符合文意。作者说：“你们真好，我们刚巧就住在这条街上。”这里用来表示作者赞誉警察的词必须用kind，表示对方很好，很热心，这是习惯用语。而clever和polite均不符合文意，和文章没有关系。警察看了看书架，笑着说他以为是另一样东西，所以这里用laughed。作者突然意识到为什么警察要带他们到教堂来了，本从句是个完整的句子，所以what不能做引导词，how表示怎样，也不符合文意，只能是why，表原因，警察把书架错当成了管风琴，所以把作者引导到教堂来了。
