16.Woman Uses Daughter's Key to"Steal"CarCharlie Vansant,a college student of Athens,Ohio,who reported that his car was stolen,got a surprise when he learned that a woman had mistaken it for her daughter's car and driven it home-using her key.
Kate Anderson became an accidental"car thief"when picking up her daughter's car near an Ohio University building last week.Anderson found the Toyota Camry (丰田凯美瑞) and used her daughter's car key to unlock the car,start the engine and drove it home-without realizing that the car didn't belong to her daughter.
When Charlie Vansant left class a short time later,he found only an empty parking spot.He first assumed the car had been towed (拖走),but when the police couldn't find a record of it,then they took a theft report.
That morning,after Anderson drove the car home,her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway (私人车道) wasn't hers.Anderson said she was able to find Vansant's name on the paperwork in the glove compartment and look up his phone number on the website for the university.
When Anderson told Charlie the car was in her driveway,"It sounded really suspicious (怀疑的) at first,as if she wanted to hold the thing for ransom (赎金),"said Vansant.He eventually went to the house with a police officer,where he was reunited with his car.According to the police report,the case was closed"because of mistaken car identity",and Anderson wasn't charged.
Vansant blamed the car company more than the"thief"."Her key fit not only my lock,but my ignition (点火装置) as well--so high-five for Toyota,I guess,"he said.

分析 一个女子用她女儿的车钥匙开走了别人的车,在无意中竟然成为"窃车贼".
解答 43.A 细节理解题.根据句子Anderson found the Toyota Camry (丰田凯美瑞) and used her daughter's car key to unlock the car,start the engine and drove it home-without realizing that the car didn't belong to her daughter.乔林找到了丰田凯美瑞,用她女儿的车钥匙打开了汽车,发动了引擎,把车开回家,没意识到那辆车不属于她的女儿.所以答案选A.
44.B 细节理解题.根据第二段used her daughter's key to unlock the car,start the engine and drive home-without realizing that the car wasn't her daughter's.可知她用她女儿的钥匙打开车点火开走,并没有意识到那车不是她女儿的.所以B选项错误.根据第四段The morning after Anderson took the car,her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway wasn't hers.可知,A选项Mrs.Anderson's daughter discovered the car her mother drove was not hers.和D选项是正确的.根据第五段"It sounded real suspicious at first,like may be she wanted to hold the thing for ransom(赎金),"said Vansant可知C选项是正确的.故选B.
45.A 推理判断题.根据最后一段Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the"thief"."Her key fit not only my lock,but my ignition(点火装置)as well-so high-five for Toyota.I guess."he said.可知,Vansant应该责备汽车公司而不是"偷车贼"."她的车钥匙不仅可以打开我的车锁,我猜还可以打开点火装置",他说到.可知他因车钥匙的低质量责备丰田公司.故选A.
46.C推理判断题.根据上文可知,Charlie不打算起诉Mrs.Anderson,但对丰田公司生产的车钥匙质量表示不满,故下文可能会要求汽车公司对此情况作出解释.故选C.
47.D 推理判断题.本文故事主要不是在于偷车而在于她的车钥匙不仅可以打开另一辆的车锁,还可以打开点火装置.对于丰田汽车公司的车钥匙的质量提出了质疑.文章很可能出自与车有关的读物中,所以答案选D 旅游册子上,故答案选D.
