Question

Woman Uses Daughter's Key to "Steal" Car
Charlie Vansant, a college student of Athens, Ohio who reported that his car was stolen, got a surprise when he learned a woman had mistaken it for her daughter's car and taken it－using her key．
Kate Anderson became an accidental car thief when picking up her daughter's car near an Ohio University building last week．Anderson spotted the nickel-~ay Toyota Camry（银灰色丰田凯美瑞）and used her daughter's key to unlock the car, start the engine and drive home-without realizing that the car wasn't her daughter's．
When Charlie Vansant left class a short time later, he found only an empty parking spot．He first assumed the car had been towed, but when the police couldn't find a record of it, they took a theft report．
The morning after Anderson took the car, her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway wasn't hers．Anderson said she was able to find Vansant's name on paperwork in the glove compartment and look up his phone number on the website for the university．
When Anderson told Charlie the car was in her driveway,  "It sounded real suspicious at first, like may be she wanted to hold the thing for ransom（赎金）,”said Vansant．He eventually went to the house with a police officer, where he was reunited with his car．According to police report, the ease was closed "because of mistaken car identity", Anderson wasn't charged．
Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the "thief"．"Her key fit not only my lock, but my ignition（点火装置）as well - so high-five for Toyota．I guess．" he said．

小题3:A
小题4:C

试题分析: 一个女子用她女儿的车钥匙开走了别人的车，在无意中竟然成为“窃车贼”。
小题1:A。根据上下文猜测单词含义。根据第三段He first assumed the car had been towed, but when the police couldn't find a record of it, they took a theft report．可知，他刚开始以为车被移开了，但是当警察找不到移动记录的时候，他们做了一个偷窃记录。A．Removed移动B．Damaged损坏C．Stolen偷窃D．Sold卖掉。故选A。
小题2:B。细节题。根据第二段used her daughter's key to unlock the car, start the engine and drive home-without realizing that the car wasn't her daughter's．可知她用她女儿的钥匙打开车点火开走，并没有意识到那车不是她女儿的。所以B选项错误。根据第四段The morning after Anderson took the car, her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway wasn't hers．可知，A选项Mrs．Anderson's daughter discovered the car her mother drove was not hers．和D选项是正确的。根据第五段"It sounded real suspicious at first, like may be she wanted to hold the thing for ransom（赎金）,”said Vansant可知C选项是正确的。故选B。
小题3:A。根据上下文理解句子含义。根据最后一段Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the "thief"．"Her key fit not only my lock, but my ignition（点火装置）as well - so high-five for Toyota．I guess．" he said．可知，Vansant应该责备汽车公司而不是“偷车贼”。“她的车钥匙不仅可以打开我的车锁，我猜还可以打开点火装置”，他说到。可知他因车钥匙的低质量责备丰田公司。故选A。
小题4:C。根据文章内容猜测下文。根据上文可知，Charlie不打算起诉Mrs．Anderson，但对丰田公司生产的车钥匙质量表示不满，故下文可能会要求汽车公司对此情况作出解释。故选C。
