C. Mr King didn‘t hear the policeman

D. Something was wrong with the car

「答案与解析」

1. 选D.由句子He drives carefully and can keep calm in time of danger. And he escaped from several accidents.可知，Mr King drives very well，因此老板付给了他更多的薪水。答案选D.

2. 选A.Mr Baker因为交通拥挤而经常迟到，受到老板的责骂，所以He hopes to buy a car. 但是他没有足够的钱，所以He decided to buy an old one，可见他去跳蚤市场是buy a second-hand car(想买一辆二手车)，因此答案选A.

3. 选C.Mr King试车到了一个十字路口时，The light turned red，所以He tried to stop it，因此答案选C.

4. 选D.Mr King在交警的警告下也没有停住车，最后撞到了树上，他的解释是：It doesn‘t listen to me(车不听我的话)，可见车有问题，所以答案选D.

六、I will always remember my mother‘s last few days in this world.

On February 14th，2000，my class went on a field trip to the beach. I had so much fun. When we returned to school，my teacher told me to go to the headmaster‘s office. When I got into the office，I saw a police officer. Suddenly I realized something was wrong. The police officer told me what had happened and we went to pick my sister up. After that，we went to the hospital and waited. Time went slowly. Finally，we got to see our mother. It was terrible.

On the next day，the headmaster came and told my two teachers what had happened. I was taking a rest that day. I knew it had something to do with my mother. I kept thinking that she either died or had gotten better. How I wished that she had gotten better. When my teacher took me outside，my sister ran up to me. She started crying，“She‘s gone. Teresa，mommy’s gone. She‘s dead.” I couldn’t believe it. We jumped into the car and drove straight to the hospital. Most of my family were there. The silence was terrible. I knew I had to say goodbye.

Today when I look back，I still miss my mother very much，but I know that I will live. My mother was a strong mother，who had the biggest heart. My mother was an angel walking on the earth. I will always remember her as living. When someone is asked who their hero (英雄) is，they usually say someone famous，like Michael Jordan or Britney Spears. When someone asks me who my hero is，I tell them，my mother. My mother lives every day. That is what makes her a true hero.
