Question

Mrs. Jones was over eighty, but she still drove her old car like a woman half her age. She loved driving very fast, and was proud of the fact she had never, in her thirty-five years of driving, been punished a driving offence (犯規，犯法). Then one day she nearly her record. A police car her, and the policemen in it saw her a red light without stopping. Of course, she was stopped. It seemed that she would be punished. Mrs. Jones came up to the judge, he looked at her seriously and said that she was old to drive a car, and that the why she had not stopped at the red was most probably that her eyes had become weak old age, so that she had simply not seen it. When the judge had finished what he was , Mrs. Jones opened the big handbag she was and took out her sewing. Without saying a word, she a needle with a very small eye, and threaded it at her first attempt. When she had done this, she took the thread out of the needle again and handed both the needle and the thread to the judge, saying, “Now it is your turn. I suppose you drive a car, and that you are quite sure about your own eyesight.”

The judge took the needle and tried to thread it. After half a dozen tries, he had still not succeeded. The case (案例) against Mrs. Jones was dismissed, and her record remained unbroken.

【解析】

試題分析：本文講述的了年過八十的喜歡開快車的瓊斯女士因為闖紅燈被跟在她車后的警察逮到而上法庭，在被警察逮到前她非常驕傲她的記錄——開車三十五年，從未因為犯規而被懲罰。在法官本因為年齡過高，眼神不好使為由判她無罪時，瓊斯女士為證明自己寶刀未老而從針線包內拿出超細鼻眼的針毫無障礙地在法官面前穿了一遍，并且她還邀請法官穿。結果，瓊斯女士被懲罰，她引以為傲的記錄被打破。

1. loved driving very fast, and was proud of the fact she had never, in her thirty-five years of driving, been punished a driving offence. The fact 后接的是同位語從句，跟在fact后的引導詞一般是that.句意：她喜歡開飛車，并且她還有個令她驕傲的事實——在她開車生涯的35年中，她從沒有因為違章駕駛而被懲罰。故選C.

2. punish sb for sth/doing sth 因某事/犯某事而懲罰某人 punish sth by/with sth 對……判罪，判定……的處罰。Punish不跟A.B. C.幾個介詞搭配使用。句意：她喜歡開飛車，并且她還有個令她驕傲的事實——在她開車生涯的35年中，她從沒有因為違章駕駛而被懲罰。故選D.

11. B.C后一般跟句子，原文中橫線后跟的是old age。句意：他說，她不能再紅燈面前停車的原因是她視力因為年事已高而變得微弱，以至于她不能輕易地看見。故選A.
