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.
The writer uses the word "monster"(Para. 5)to refer to_________.
选项
A、the bad experience
B、the heavy furniture
C、the guy at the base
D、the vehicle he drove
答案
D
解析
推断题。根据文章第五段第二句“Wanting only to escape the monster,I drovethe van back to its base on the Edgware Road.”可知,当时作者想要逃离这个恶魔。A选项“糟糕的经历”,但经历是抽象且储存在脑海中的东西,所以不需要逃离,可排除。B选项意为“笨重的家具”,在文中给作者造成困扰的是开货车而不是家具,可排除。C选项“在站点的那个男人”,当时这个人还没有出现,可排除。纵观全文,给作者造成困扰的是这辆大货车,因此D项“他开的货车”符合题意,为正确答案。
