3. B。强调接到来自于(from)某地的电话。
4. A。该句意为一位身材高大的水手喝醉了，而且在摔酒吧里的家具设备。
5. D。/ 6. C。/ 7. A。一般情况下，那些必须到现场去惩治那些烂醉如泥的水手的警官，通常都尽可能地从警察中挑选一位身材最高大的警察跟他一起去现场。
8. B。/ 9. A。分析上文可知，这两空都含有转折意义。
10. B。此处应选与smallest意义一致的形容词weakest-looking，说明“看上去很弱小”。
11. A。警官与警察一起去酒吧“抓”喝醉了的水手，而不是“杀、除掉、赶上”喝醉了的水手。
12. D。根据语境可知，应选 happen to be(碰巧)。
13. C。上文说明了原因，下文表达结果。
14. A。Why don’t you do sth? 为表示建议的固定句型，意为“为何不…?”
15. B。根据上文可知，此处强调要对付的是“喝醉的”水手。
