解答 39-42.ACBD
39.A 细节题.根据第一段The young guy was 19when he struck Adelaide man Shahid Talpur on States Road at Morphett Vale in 2011可知,在2011年时他19岁,所以推出他出生在In 1992.故答案为A.
40.C 推理题.在第二段Judge Geoffrey Muecke accepted Sumsion,now 22,was very regretful and suspended(延缓) a jail sentence of two years and nine months."这句话告诉我们法官认为Sumsion认识到自己所犯的错误,所以对他延缓判刑两年九个月,故答案为C.
41.B 推理判断题.根据第三段的内容,the state of his eyesight,suffered through a series of unlucky events,was in low spirit 当时Sumsion视力很差,遭遇一系列的不幸,而且情绪低落这些都让他身体虚弱,容易受到伤害,所以vulnerable指容易受伤的意思,故答案为B.
42.D 推理判断题.根据最后一段since the accident had always kept a distance from friends and family可知,自从事故后,他和朋友家人开始疏远了,说明事故对他造成了很大的影响,故答案为D.
