听力原文/参考答案/解说

- I don't understand how you got a ticket. I always thought you were a careful driver.

- I usually am, but I thought I could get through the intersection before the light turned.

Q: Why did the man get a ticket?

参考答案：B

这是一段有关违反交通规则罚款的对话。答案是依据I thought I could get through the intersection before the light turned 一句提供的信息做出的推断。这句话说“我以为在灯变以前可以通过路口。”light 指的是指挥交通的红绿灯。这话的含义显然是在他通过路口时绿灯已变成红灯。所以是“闯了红灯”。ticket:罚款通知单。speeding :超速行驶。stop sign: 停车标志。
