名師點(diǎn)評

在這篇短文里， Miss Baker 用委婉的說(shuō)法請求別人讓出自己的車(chē)位，卻遭到別人的誤解，令人啼笑皆非。

答案簡(jiǎn)析在下一頁(yè)：

1. B。因為停車(chē)場(chǎng)小，而車(chē)子卻多，所以常常很難找到停車(chē)位。

2. A。place表示“車(chē)位”。room 作為空間講是不可數名詞，故不選。

3. C。用白色的欄桿圍著(zhù)，以示私人專(zhuān)用。

4. D。因為是夜晚，所以是回到學(xué)校準備休息了。

5. B。

6. D。由下文得知是一男一女，故選 people。

7. C。因為這是女校，所以她知道這位男士肯定馬上要走的。

8. D。因為她知道這個(gè)年輕人很快會(huì )走，所以她決定請他讓出車(chē)位。
