2.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 a woman had mistaken it for her daughte's car and taken it-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 spotted the Toyota Camry(丰田凯美瑞)and 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.
When Charlie Vansant leftclass a short time later,he found only an empty parking spot.He first assumed the car had been towed,but when the police couldn't find a record of it,they took a theft(偷窃) report.
The morning after Anderson took the car,her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway wasn't her.Anderson said she was able to find Vansant's name on 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 at first,as 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 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.

解答 27.C 词义猜测题.根据第三段的Hefirst assumed the car had been towed,but when the police couldn't find arecord of it,they took a theft report.可知,他刚开始以为车被移开了,但是当警察找不到移动记录的时候,他们做了一个偷窃记录.所以Removed意为"移动",故选C.
28.B 细节理解题.根据第二段的usedher daughter's key to unlock the car,start the engine and drive home-withoutrealizing that the car wasn't her daughter's.可知她用她女儿的钥匙打开车点火开车回到家,并没有意识到那车不是她女儿的.所以她不是应女儿的要求而偷车,故选B.
29.D 语句理解题.根据最后一段Vansantseemed to blame the car company more than the"thief"."Her key fit not only my lock,but myignition(点火装置)as well-so high-five for Toyota.I guess."he said.可知,Vansant好像更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.所以他因车钥匙的低质量责备丰田公司.故选D.
30.D 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D.
