But one man, from California by reasonable assumption, who goes by Dave, recently took procrastination (拖延) one step further, by paying a parking ticket almost a halfcentury after it was given. In December 2018, the Minersville Police Department in Pennsylvania received a letter in the mail. Whoever wrote the letter decided it was best to keep his name somewhat unknown, so he put the return address as Wayward Road, Anytown California under the name Feeling guilty. When the officers opened the envelope, they found a brief letter, along with a $5 bill, and a parking ticket dating all the way back to 1974. The note read, Dear PD, I39。ve been carrying this ticket around for 40 plus years always intending to pay. Forgive me if I don39。t give you my info. With respect, Dave. Even though the initial parking ticket was only for $2, Dave must have felt awfully guilty because he left 150 percent, or $3, in interest. Michael Combs, the Police Chief of the Minersville Police Department, stated in an interview that the same ticket would cost about $20 if it were given today. Combs went on to share that the original ticket from 1974 was given to a vehicle that had an Ohio license plate. Because there was no system for tracking tickets given to outofstate cars back then, Dave could have gotten away with never paying the $2 fine. But apparently, guilt got the best of him, and he decided to finally cough up the money more than 40 years past its due date.(1)How much do we know about Dave? A.He lives in Wayward Road, Anytown California.B.The police are trying to find out more about him.C.His car probably came from Ohio at that time.D.Dave is of course the man39。s real name indeed.(2)Why didn39。t Dave pay for the parking ticket until recently? A.He pletely forgot about it in the past 44 years.B.He didn39。t find it until almost half a century later.C.He failed to find out who he should pay the money to.D.He didn39。t pay for it just because of procrastination.(3)What drove Dave to pay for the parking ticket at last? A.A strong sense of guilt.B.Fear of being tracked by the police.C.Worry about being fined more.D.Sudden change of his financial situation.(4)Which of the following can be the best title? A.Police Chief of the Minersville Police Department Shares a StoryB.Mysterious Procrastinator Finally Pays 44YearOld Parking TicketC.Unusual Letter Comes from Wayward Road Anytown CaliforniaD.Parking Ticket Carried Around for Almost Half a Century from Ohio【答案】 (1)C(2)D(3)A(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文,一位神秘的拖延者終于支付了44年的停車(chē)罰單。 (1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Combs went on to share that the original ticket from 1974 was given to a vehicle that had an Ohio license plate.”可知,Dave的車(chē)可能來(lái)自俄亥俄州。故選C。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Because there was no system for tracking tickets given to outofstate cars back
