【解析】本文叙述了 Mr Hart机智灵活地将坐在自己车内的罪犯送给警察的经过：Mr Hart认出被通缉的小偷以后，故意违反了交通规则，结果引来警察，将小偷抓获。

1.B。出租车司机每天忙于穿梭在大街小巷，据此常识我们就能选出B。另外下文的Mr Hart 13（raced） through the streets and．．．也可提示此答案。

2.D。根据上下文可知，taxi为最佳答案。

3.A。从后文我们可知，即使是遇上红灯，那人也要Mr Hart开快些。

4.C。从下文Hurry up，man！我们可以看出那人对Mr Hart极不客气，因此用unfriendly一词。B有一定的干扰性，但frightened是指the man感到害怕，因此不合题意。

5.A。从本段的首句To the station．．．得此答案。the station即the railway station，因此the man说他要去赶火车。

6.C。根据常识，在每个十字路口应该有红绿灯。

7.D。miss在此是“耽误、错过”的意思。

8.B．因为当时是红灯，如果硬闯的话，可能会出事故。accident指事故，司机不希望出现交通事故，所以得此答案。

9.A。在开车的过程中，Mr Hart认出了the man。在此D有一定的干扰性，但从下文Mr Hart 13（raced） through the streets and drove through red lights．我们得知，Mr Hart尽管知道闯红灯有危险，但他并没有停止。

10.A。从下文His picture was in the 12．（newspapers）．我们可以推断，报纸上登了那人的面部照片，因此Mr Hart认出了那人的脸。

11.C。从下文“Quick！He is the thief！”得此答案。

12.D。显然Mr Hart在读报纸时看到了罪犯的图片。

13.B。从下文Mr Hart raced on until．．．得此答案。

14.C。因为闯红灯，警察追来了。

15.A。Mr Hart到达了火车站。

16.B。two minutes to three意思是“差两分三点”。

17.C。Mr Hart向罪犯喊“站住！”

18.D。因为罪犯在逃跑，因此警察冲（rushed）过去。

19.D。三分钟后警察带着那人回来了。

20.B。警察赞扬Mr Hart
