Passage 1
Friedrich Dobl, a Yugoslav working in Germany, was fed up with traffic jams. At long weekends and holiday times when he wanted to get him quickly he always found himself behind hundreds of other cars moving slowly along the notorious foreign workers route through Germany and Austria. How easy it all was for police and emergency services. A siren, a flashing light? And like magic everyone was out of the way. Going home from work one night he passed a garage. And there in front of him was the answer to his problem. An old ambulance was for sale. The red cross had been removed. But not the flashing light, and the siren. He tried the light. It flashed magnificently. He tried the siren. That too sounded impressive. He bought the ambulance and opened up for himself a dream world of motoring. It began early in the morning, all his luggage in the back of the ambulance and motorway in Germany looking reasonably clear. Soon, as always, a long line of traffic appeared ahead. He switched on the flashing light and set off the siren. Cars swiftly slowed and pulled off the fast lane. Other cars stopped and drivers waved him ahead to an open road all his own. In record time he crossed the border into Austria. The big bluff was working. Police even waved him through the confusion caused by an accident. But then the Yugoslav made his beg mistake. Until then he had only stopped for petrol. Now he was driving past a real accident, lights flashing, too late to realize that it was not another traffic jam as he assumed. They stopped him, and after hearing the story of his ride across two countries fined him 12.5 pounds.

1.【答案】C
【解析】從本文第一段可以得知，在德國工作的南斯拉夫人Friedrich Dobl每個(gè)周末和放假都會(huì)回家，他在穿過德國和奧地利回國的路上受夠了交通堵塞。由此可見答案A）回德國的家B）跟其他外國工人見面D）由一條捷徑去工作的地方與原文不符，只有答案C）正確。
2.【答案】D
【解析】文中第二段開頭提到“How easy it all was for police and emergency services. A siren, a flashing light? And like magic everyone was out of the way.”，意思是對警察和急救人員來說就太簡單了，一個(gè)警示燈和一個(gè)警報(bào)器，然后象魔術(shù)一樣，所有的人都給你讓路。由此可見，答案D）是正確答案。
3.【答案】B
【解析】見文中第二段，“The red cross had been removed. But not the flashing light, and the siren. He tried the light. It flashed magnificently. He tried the siren. That too sounded impressive.”，警示燈和警報(bào)器都還在，試了試，警示燈很亮，警報(bào)器很響，所以正確答案是B。
4.【答案】B
【解析】見原文最后一段，“Now he was driving past a real accident, ... They stopped him”，他開車經(jīng)過一個(gè)真正的車禍現(xiàn)場，他們讓他停下，由此可推斷出正確答案是B。
5.【答案】C
【解析】詳見內(nèi)容概要，文章主要是關(guān)于一個(gè)外國工人為了躲過交通堵塞快點(diǎn)到家而買輛救護(hù)車來開的故事，所以答案C）最合適。答案A）如何開快車B）如何避免交通事故D）如何安全回家？——不要停！都跟本文大意不符。
