Question

We were on tour a few summers ago, driving through Chicago, when right outside of the city, we got pulled over. A middle-aged policeman came up to the car and was really being troublesome at first. Lecturing us, he said, "You were speeding. Where are you going in such a hurry?" Our guitarist, Tim, told him that we were on our way to Wisconsin to play a show. His way towards us totally changed. He asked, "Oh, so you boys are in a band (樂隊(duì))?" We told him that we were. He then asked all the usual broad questions about the type of music we played, and how long we had been at it. Suddenly, he stopped and said, "Tim, you want to get out of this ticket, don't you?" Tim said, "Yes." So the officer asked him to step out of the car. The rest of us, inside the car, didn't know what to think as we watched the policeman talk to Tim. Next thing we knew, the policeman was putting Tim in the back of the police car he had parked in front of us. With that, he threw the car into reverse(倒車), stopping a few feet in back of our car. Now we suddenly felt frightened. We didn't know if we were all going to prison, or if the policeman was going to sell Tim on the black market or something. All of a sudden, the pollen's voice came over in a loudspeaker. He said, "Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time ever, we have Tim here singing on Route 90.” Turns out, the policeman had told Tim that the only way he was getting out of the ticket was if he sang part of one of our songs over the loudspeaker in the police car. Seconds later, Tim started screaming into the receiver. The policeman enjoyed the performance, and sent us on our way without a ticket.

試題分析：文章大意：本文敘述了一樂隊(duì)去演出的路上遇上警察，警察因?yàn)橄矚g他們的唱歌免開罰單，讓一位歌手用他們的擴(kuò)音器唱歌并讓他們高興地離開。

1. policeman had told Tim that the only way he was getting out of the ticket was if he sang part of one of our songs over the loudspeaker in the police car.說明他原來想要開罰單，如果他唱了歌就算了。

2. told him that we were on our way to Wisconsin to play a show. His way towards us totally changed.（Tim告訴他我們是去演出的路上時(shí)，他對(duì)我們的態(tài)度就完全變了）可以看出。

3. policeman enjoyed the performance, and sent us on our way without a ticket�！笨梢钥闯鲇捎谶@個(gè)警察沒開罰單就讓我們走了，所以我們應(yīng)當(dāng)很高興。故A選項(xiàng)正確
