试题答案

1. A.通读全文可知，惟有参加“party”才能有事后的醉酒。

2. B.由句意可知，父亲“担忧”儿子撞路障被罚。

3. D. reach an agreement 意为“达成协定”。父亲允许儿子用车，但要以儿子不饮酒为条件。

4. D..由attempted to drive home可推知，尽管儿子“酩酊大醉”，但他还设法开车回家。

5. B..由于撞了路障，他被警察从车里叫出来，站在一队人之间，接受醉酒程度的测试。若 先stop，则成为the car stand in a line of people, 不合情理。

6. B.,由上下语境可知。

7. C .miss sb.out意为“漏掉了某人”。

8. D。 因为A、B、C三项皆不能用现在分词作补足语，只有leave可以。He was left standing off to the side意为“让他站在一边”。

9. A. 而其他人正让警官看看他们是如何能笔直地身前走，以示不醉。

10. B，walk a straight line“走直线”。

11. C，根据语境暗示，警察应近在门前。

12. B, 于最后一段中的the four of them可知，他们共四人。除去他们父子两人外，另两人是警察。

13. D，that red FLAT是 the father’s car， 故the father为车主。

14. B，find oneself in someplace意为“自己不知不觉地处于某地”。

15. C，站在警察面前，自然预感到不妙。

16. C，此处questioning出于警察之口，有“询问、审问”之意，所以就有后面的admitted与其照应。

17. C, 问他那时是否饮了酒。

18. A，他也记不得车开哪儿了。先drive照应了前面的“car”。

19. C，由上文所提示的时间可知：车是晚上开的。

20. C，用排除法可得此选项。文中没有对车的具体描述，故谈不上similar和familiar。而D项damaged是“损坏”之意，开损坏了的车不合情意。把警车开回家来，足见其醉酒的程度。
