16.Woman Uses Daughter's Key to"Steal"Car
Charlie Vansant,a college student of Athens,Ohio,who reported that his car was stolen,got a surprise when he learned that a woman had mistaken it for her daughter's car and driven it home-using her key.
Kate Anderson became an accidental"car thief"when picking up her daughter's car near an Ohio University building last week.Anderson found the Toyota Camry (豐田凱美瑞) and used her daughter's car key to unlock the car,start the engine and drove it home-without realizing that the car didn't belong to her daughter.
When Charlie Vansant left class a short time later,he found only an empty parking spot.He first assumed the car had been towed (拖走),but when the police couldn't find a record of it,then they took a theft report.
That morning,after Anderson drove the car home,her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway (私人車道) wasn't hers.Anderson said she was able to find Vansant's name on the paperwork in the glove compartment and look up his phone number on the website for the university.
When Anderson told Charlie the car was in her driveway,"It sounded really suspicious (懷疑的) at first,as if she wanted to hold the thing for ransom (贖金),"said Vansant.He eventually went to the house with a police officer,where he was reunited with his car.According to the police report,the case was closed"because of mistaken car identity",and Anderson wasn't charged.
Vansant blamed the car company more than the"thief"."Her key fit not only my lock,but my ignition (點(diǎn)火裝置) as well--so high-five for Toyota,I guess,"he said.

分析 一個(gè)女子用她女兒的車鑰匙開走了別人的車,在無意中竟然成為"竊車賊".
解答 43.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)句子Anderson found the Toyota Camry (豐田凱美瑞) and used her daughter's car key to unlock the car,start the engine and drove it home-without realizing that the car didn't belong to her daughter.喬林找到了豐田凱美瑞,用她女兒的車鑰匙打開了汽車,發(fā)動(dòng)了引擎,把車開回家,沒意識到那輛車不屬于她的女兒.所以答案選A.
44.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段used her daughter's key to unlock the car,start the engine and drive home-without realizing that the car wasn't her daughter's.可知她用她女兒的鑰匙打開車點(diǎn)火開走,并沒有意識到那車不是她女兒的.所以B選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤.根據(jù)第四段The morning after Anderson took the car,her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway wasn't hers.可知,A選項(xiàng)Mrs.Anderson's daughter discovered the car her mother drove was not hers.和D選項(xiàng)是正確的.根據(jù)第五段"It sounded real suspicious at first,like may be she wanted to hold the thing for ransom(贖金),"said Vansant可知C選項(xiàng)是正確的.故選B.
45.A 推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the"thief"."Her key fit not only my lock,but my ignition(點(diǎn)火裝置)as well-so high-five for Toyota.I guess."he said.可知,Vansant應(yīng)該責(zé)備汽車公司而不是"偷車賊"."她的車鑰匙不僅可以打開我的車鎖,我猜還可以打開點(diǎn)火裝置",他說到.可知他因車鑰匙的低質(zhì)量責(zé)備豐田公司.故選A.
46.C推理判斷題.根據(jù)上文可知,Charlie不打算起訴Mrs.Anderson,但對豐田公司生產(chǎn)的車鑰匙質(zhì)量表示不滿,故下文可能會要求汽車公司對此情況作出解釋.故選C.
47.D 推理判斷題.本文故事主要不是在于偷車而在于她的車鑰匙不僅可以打開另一輛的車鎖,還可以打開點(diǎn)火裝置.對于豐田汽車公司的車鑰匙的質(zhì)量提出了質(zhì)疑.文章很可能出自與車有關(guān)的讀物中,所以答案選D 旅游冊子上,故答案選D.
點(diǎn)評 閱讀理解題測試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力,要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系,對未說明的趨勢或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷;或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點(diǎn)理論,對文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋.考生首先要仔細(xì)閱讀短文,完整了解信息,準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀點(diǎn).
