解析:
1.用before的意思是说，没有多远就遇上了红灯。
2.从上下文及交通常识，判断答案。
3. 从上文意思看，应选择把门拉“开”。
4.警察的目的是要“抓住”前面那辆车上的人，而不是“跟踪”那辆车。
5.此选项是“抱歉”之意。警察开始没有注意，后来才发现车里有位乘客，觉得有些冒失，故说了句抱歉的话。
6.从上下文分析，应为提高速度。
7.“又遇上了红灯”，因为前面已经说过，曾遇到过红灯。
8.draw up“停车”。 alongside“并排”。
9.pull out“拽出来”。
10.sign“打手势”，意思是让“我”过去。
11.小偷应该被送往警察局。
12.上了那辆被偷的车，因为后面说“那辆出租车跟在后面”。
13.这是一个语法填空，with+名/代+分词，这被称之为“with独立结构”。
14. 人们都不愿和小偷坐在一起。
15.“没有选择”即“只好这样做”。
16.“幸亏”。这是说，虽不愿和小偷为伴，但好在路不远，不会和他在一起坐很长时间。
17.这位作者所做的事只是帮了个忙而已。并不是他主动地见义勇为（deed,action）。
18. “生气”同后面司机所说的“希望这事不再发生了”相一致。
19.be obliged to do“被迫做不情愿的事”。
20.从所给答案结合句子的具体语境可知答案。
We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests’ coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.
The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.
Each of the guests liked Kelly more, the younger one, enjoying her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a unusual girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.
I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big “to do” over the younger one because she’s the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions.
But we seldom think of how it might affect（影响） the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being paid no attention. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying. I said, “What are you doing here, my dear?”
She turned to me with a sad expression and said,” Mommy, why don’t people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I’m not pretty? Why don’t they say nice things about me as much?”
I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging（拥抱） her to make her feel better.
Now whenever I visit a friend’s home. I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.
