1.At one time no one could travel on an English road faster than four miles an hour.That was the law until 1896.A man had to walk in front of a car which could not go faster than the man.At night the man had to carry a red lamp.Once Charles Rolls brought a car from France to England,but he wanted to drive faster than four miles an hour.In order to have no trouble with the police,he had a talk with some of the police officers,who ordered their policemen to look the other way when the car came along the road.This was a good plan in the country,but not so easy to follow in the busy streets of London.
One night Rolls and some friends started from London on their journey to Cambridge.One of the men walked in front with the red lamp,but he walked as fast as he could.The police became very interested in walls and shop-fronts when they heard the car and not one of them saw it.
They reached a hill,but what a waste of time it was to drive down the hill at four miles an hour!Rolls was getting ready to jump into the car,but then he noticed a policeman who was not looking the other way.The slow car reached him.
"Good evening,"said the policeman,looking at the car.
"Good evening,"said Rolls,holding the lamp.
"One of these horseless things,"said the policeman,looking at it with interest.
"Yes,"said Rolls,and waited.
"I've often wanted a ride in one,but of course policemen can't buy things like that."He turned and looked hopefully in Rolls's face.
"Jump in,"said Rolls.
"Thanks,"said the policeman,and did so."Now,"he said,sitting down,"You can let it go just as you like down this hill.There isn't another policeman on this road for a mile and a half."

分析 本文讲述了1896年之前英国的法律规定人们在路上出行的速度不能超过每小时4英里.文章的主人公Charles Rolls从法国弄来一辆汽车,他想让车的时速超过每小时4英里,为了避免警察找麻烦,他就找了一些警官商谈让警员们对他超速行驶视而不见;以这种办法他顺利的将车开到了山顶.可是刚要开下山时,又碰到了警察.但是没想到警察对他的这辆不用马拉的车非常感兴趣,并帮着他一起超速往山下赶.
解答 答案:
28B 细节理解题 根据第二段"In order to have no trouble with the police,…look the other way when the car came along the road.""为了避免警察找麻烦,当汽车沿着这条路过来的时候,他找一些警官商谈让警员们对他超速行驶视而不见",所以让警官告诉警察们"to look the other way"的目的是为了超过时速4英里行驶.本句中的固定短语look the other way意为"视而不见",了解这一短语的意义有利于正确理解该短文.故选B
29C 细节理解题 根据第三段"The police became very interested in walls and shop-fronts when they heard the car and not one of them saw it.""当他们听到车来了,警察开始对墙和商店非常感兴趣,谁都没看见它."可知警察们故意转移目标,装作没看见他的车.故选C;
30D细节理解题 根据警察的两段话"One of these horseless things,"said the policeman,looking at it with interest.(警察带着极大的兴趣说,"这是一个不用马拉的车.")以及"I've often wanted a ride in one,but of course policemen can't buy things like that."He turned and looked hopefully in Rolls's face."(我一直想用它去兜风,但是当然警察不能买这些东西"他转过身来,满怀希望的看着 Rolls的脸.)可知,这位警察很想体验一下坐车的感觉.故选D
31B细节理解题 根据最后一段"You can let it go just as you like down this hill.There isn't another policeman on this road for a mile and a half."(下山时你想怎么开都可以,1英里半以内没有警察.)可知在一定的距离内,他想开多快就可以开多快.故选B
