问题     There was a nasty (肮脏的,卑鄙的) accident in our town not long ago, and I saw it happen. I was standing near a road which was under repair, not doing anything special--just watching the men at work. It was not far from the new motorway (高速公路) that runs past the town. It was an old road that used to be very busy--and dangerous--before the motorway was built. Today, most cars use the new "superhighway" and the old road is pretty quiet, although cars do often come off the motorway into the town faster than they should.
    Anyway, the men were repairing part of the road and there were signs up for at least 200 meters, telling everybody that the road was narrower than .usual. Most of the drivers in both directions saw the signs and slowed down.
    Then three cars came along close’ together, the third one moving at a very high speed. ’The first one passed the workmen and wanted to turn left. Meanwhile the third car came flying past the second one. The second car stopped. I think the driver knew something was going to happen. It did. The third car had no chance of stopping. Its driver braked (刹车) and pulled over to miss the first car--and went right off the road.
    There were four people in that car: a man, two women and a child. The child was a boy of nine. I read later that they were going shopping--just shopping, nothing more important than that. The driver was badly hurt. The little boy was hart too. Both the women were killed immediately. One of them was the driver’s wife and the other was the mother of the little boy. They never got to the shops.
The old road ______.

选项 A、was very busy though there was a new motorway
B、was never very busy
C、was always very busy and dangerous
D、was very busy and dangerous before the construction of the new motorway

答案D

解析 根据文章第1段第4句It was an old road that used to be very busy—and dangerous—before the motorway was built,我们可以断定D正确。
