第二部分：阅读理解(第一节20小题，每小题分;第二节5小题，每小题分;两节满分分)
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。On a warm Monday, Jenny Neilson bought a sandwich and parked her car under some trees. Rolling down the windows to let in fresh air, she settled back to enjoy her lunch. Suddenly she noticed a big bald man running through the parking lot. Before she came to realize what would happen, the man was there, shouting through her window, “Get out!”
Neilson refused.
Pulling open her door, the man seized her by the neck and hair, and threw her out of the car onto the ground. She screamed, grabbing her purse and the keys.
Two reporters of the local newspaper, Robert Bruce and Jeff Jackson, just outside their office building on a break, heard the screams and began running .
When they reached Neilson’s car, the attacker had jumped into the driver’s seat and was madly searching for the keys. Bruce opened the door, and he and Jackson dragged the man out. The attacker fought back. But even in his cornered panic, he was no match for the two athletic men.
Reggie Miller, a worker of the local newspaper, heard the screams, too. He rushed back to the office to phone the police, and then ran back with some plastic ropes —— used to tie up newspapers.
With his arms tied tight behind him, the prisoner looked up and said coldly, “I hope you guys feel good about yourselves—— you just caught one of the most wanted men.” They ignored him and waited for the police. Later, Bruce and Jackson were shocked to learn the man was the professional carjacker (劫车者)and suspected murderer, whose picture—— but with a full head of hair—— had been recently printed in their own newspaper.
Neilson considers herself lucky though she suffered injuries. She believes the story might have had a different ending if those good people had not come to her aid. “Unfortunately,” she said, “many people would never have done what they did, and that is the real truth.”
