阅读题帮忙！谢谢！英语的！

An old man was going home late one night with his horse and cart after a day's hard work. When he was not far from his house, the light on the cart went out. He tried but could not mend it.

　　He was near his home, and so he went along the road without a light. When a policeman saw this, he stopped the old carter.

　　"Where's your light?" asked the policeman. "No one may take a cart along a road at night without a light. You know that. You've broken the law.

　　"I had a light," said the old man, "but it has just gone out."

　　"I don't believe that story," said the policeman. He took out a book and got ready to write. "What's your name and where do you live?" he asked.

　　"Please don't take my name," said the old man. "My house is just there. You can see it from here. I had a light nearly the whole way. I haven't come far without a light."

　　"You came all the way without a light. What's your name?"

　　The carter quickly took the policeman's hand and put it down on the top of the light. The light was still hot, and burnt the policeman's hand. He jumped and he was very angry.

　　"Now, what do you think?" said the carter. "Did I come all the way without a light?"

Answer 1

【答案与解析】一个老头夜里驾车回家，就要到家时车灯突然熄灭了。警察发现未亮，就说他一路上无灯驾驶，并要记下他的名字。无论老头怎么样解释，警察就是不相信。最后机智的老头迅速地把警察的手按到仍然烫热的车灯上……
　　1.C。本题属表层理解题。由短文首句中的“with his horse and cart”不难找到答案。
　　2.B。答案就在短文开头的“An old man was going home late one night with his horse and cart after a day's hard work.”一句中。
　　3.A。短文第二段首句即是答案的出处。
　　4.C。答案可从第三自然段警察的话中找到。
　　5.D。根据“The carter quickly took the policeman's hand and put it down on the top of the light.”一句可以把迷惑性较大的选项A予以排除，故答案非D莫属。

Answer 2

1、C最准确，Cart的意思是大车，文中很显然是马拉的
2、B，late one night是原文
3、A，第二段开头说了He was near his home
4、D，第一段说了是灯坏了（the light on the cart went out）而不是没有灯
5、A，倒数第二段原文（The carter quickly took the policeman's hand），不选D是因为有歧义，burn是灯烫的而不是Old man去烧的结果
为啥前四题由前两段就知道了……好囧的题目分布
