【正文】 ed 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?

My husband Johnny and I left them with a friend while we made a rare trip to the cinema in Liverpool. It was dark and pouring with rain but with the headlights shining on the road we saw something ahead of us. Johnny pulled to a stop and I jumped out, ran to the grass edge and grabbed a small, wet, and frightened creature. I wrapped it safely in my woollen hat and insisted that my husband turn back and head for home. We thought it was a baby rabbit because it had long ears and was grayishbrown in colour. Once home, we filled a box with tornup newspaper and a warm towel. We named our new animal Bobsy as we had no idea of its sex. Sadly though, on the third day with us, it caught its back foot in a door and we quickly realised it was broken. We rushed to the vet (獸醫(yī)), who said, It39。s only a rabbit, I39。ll put it to sleep. Our response was a very determined, No way !We found another vet and told that she was a baby hare. We were told we should continue to keep her in her box for a week and her foot would heal. After her recovery, Bobsy learnt to use the kitty litter tray. She would b her long ears with her front paws. The local paper heard about this and came to our house to take her photo and write a story about her. We had her for seven wonderful years before we moved to New Zealand and we will never forget her.（1）Why did Johnny stop his car suddenly?

Johnny pulled to a stop…可知，天很黑，下著雨，但前車燈照亮了馬路，我們看見前面有什么東西。約翰尼把車停了下來。所以約翰尼突然停車是因為他注意到車前面有東西。故選D。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的Sadly though, on the third day with us, it caught its back foot in a door and we quickly realised it was broken.可知，不過，不幸的是，在它與我們相處的第三天，它的后腳被門夾住了，我們很快意識到它的腳受傷了。所以這只小動物與我們相處的第三天時它的腳受了重傷。故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的I wrapped it safely in my woollen hat… Once home, we filled a box with tornup newspaper and a warm towel.可知，我把它安全地包裹在我的羊毛帽子里。一到家，我們就用撕碎的報紙和一條熱毛巾鋪在了一個盒子里，讓它成為兔子的窩。所以通過關鍵詞wrapped it safely, woollen hat, filled, torn
