Late last year, I needed to transport some furniture from our house in Sussex to my son’ s flat in central London. I should have paid a man to do it for me, but foolishly confident in my driving ability , I decided to hire a van and drive it myself. It was a Ford Transit 280, long and wide: you couldn’ t see out of the back. You never really knew how close you were to anything else on the road.
Reversing in my home yard, I crashed into a small shed, causing permanent damage. At least I owned the shed.
I loaded up the furniture and set out. By now it was rush hour. My nerves broke down, as I steered the huge van through ever-shifting lanes, across oncoming vehicles, between distances of buses, at last to Charlotte Street.
Here, I found an available parking space. As I reversed into it, I noticed three people at a pavement cafe waving to me. I got out, trembling violently, like one who has just endured a stormy Atlantic crossing. " You’ ve shifted the car parked behind you three feet," they said, and it belonged to a disabled person. I examined the car. There were white scratches along its front bumper. It bore a disabled sign. So., now I was a bad driver and a bad man. Under the stern gaze of the three, I left an apologetic note on the damaged car’ s windscreen, giving my phone number.
I unloaded the furniture, dripping with sweat. Wanting only to escape the
monster
, I drove the van back to its base on the Edgware Road. On arrival, the hire man told me I must fill it up with petrol before returning it. "Just charge me," I cried, still shaking with fear. He gazed at me with understanding. No doubt he’ d witnessed others in this state before. " How about I drive you to a petrol station, you fill up, and I drive her back?" he asked.
He danced the great van through the traffic so casually that it would have shamed me if I had not been so grateful.
In the parking lot, the writer_________.
选项
A、saw a disabled man
B、ran into his friends
C、hit another vehicle
D、examined his van
答案
C
解析
细节题。根据题干中的关键词parking lot可定位至文章第四段。结合该段第四句““You’ve shifted the car parked behind you three feet,”they said.and it belonged to a disabled person.”可知,作者在停车场倒车的时候撞上了一辆残疾人的车。因此,C选项“撞上了另一辆汽车”符合题意,为正确答案。A选项“看见一个残疾人”和B选项“偶然遇见他的朋友”在文中均未提及。D选项“检查了他的货车”与文中“检查了残疾人的车”表述冲突,故排除。
