问题     A young girl and a man were recently found murdered in a parked car in a Boston suburb. The police found no clue (线索) in the car. Then they found a witness who had seen a car pass by the murdered couple’s car. He said it was a 1950 or 1951 Chevrolet (雪佛莱牌汽车).
    Ordinarily, searching through the files for owners of elderly Chevies would have been an impossibly difficult task because there were two and a half million such cars. In this case, however, the police had a powerful tool--the computer.
    The Boston Registry of Motor Vehicles programmed its computer to screen all 1950 and 1951 Chevrolets within a fifteen-mile radius (半径) of the suburb--the area in which the police believed the murderer was most likely to be found. Within minutes, the computer uncovered one thousand of the wanted cars. A few hours of careful hand screening turned up a 1950 Chevrolet owner who lived close to the scene of the crime and who had received many traffic tickets (交通罚款). He was among the first suspects to be investigated, and evidence linking him to the murdered couple was found. He was arrested, and is now waiting for trial (审判).
It is clear from the passage that Chevies refer to ______.

选项 A、the murdered couple
B、elderly owners of cars
C、computers
D、Chevrolets

答案D

解析 本题为细节题。根据文章第1段最后一句He said it was a 1950 or 1951 Chevrolet.和第2段第1句中的Ordinarily,searching through the files for owners of elderly Chevies would have been an impossibly difficult task because there were two and a half million such cars.我们不难看出Chev rolets与Chevies所指的是同一个东西,故应选D。
