Answer 1

解析:

 1.用before的意思是說，沒有多遠(yuǎn)就遇上了紅燈。

2.從上下文及交通常識，判斷答案。

3. 從上文意思看，應(yīng)選擇把門拉“開”。

 4.警察的目的是要“抓住”前面那輛車上的人，而不是“跟蹤”那輛車。

 5.此選項(xiàng)是“抱歉”之意。警察開始沒有注意，后來才發(fā)現(xiàn)車?yán)镉形怀丝�，覺得有些冒失，故說了句抱歉的話。

6.從上下文分析，應(yīng)為提高速度。

7.“又遇上了紅燈”，因?yàn)榍懊嬉呀?jīng)說過，曾遇到過紅燈。

8.draw up“停車”。 alongside“并排”。

9.pull out“拽出來”。

10.sign“打手勢”，意思是讓“我”過去。

11.小偷應(yīng)該被送往警察局。

12.上了那輛被偷的車，因?yàn)楹竺嬲f“那輛出租車跟在后面”。

13.這是一個語法填空，with+名/代+分詞，這被稱之為“with獨(dú)立結(jié)構(gòu)”。

14. 人們都不愿和小偷坐在一起。

15.“沒有選擇”即“只好這樣做”。

16.“幸虧”。這是說，雖不愿和小偷為伴，但好在路不遠(yuǎn)，不會和他在一起坐很長時間。

17.這位作者所做的事只是幫了個忙而已。并不是他主動地見義勇為（deed,action）。

18. “生氣”同后面司機(jī)所說的“希望這事不再發(fā)生了”相一致。

 19.be obliged to do“被迫做不情愿的事”。

20.從所給答案結(jié)合句子的具體語境可知答案。
