问题    Late last year, I needed to transport some furniture from our house in Sussex to my son’ s flat in central London. I should have paid a man to do it for me, but foolishly confident in my driving ability , I decided to hire a van and drive it myself. It was a Ford Transit 280, long and wide: you couldn’ t see out of the back. You never really knew how close you were to anything else on the road.
   Reversing in my home yard, I crashed into a small shed, causing permanent damage. At least I owned the shed.
   I loaded up the furniture and set out. By now it was rush hour. My nerves broke down, as I steered the huge van through ever-shifting lanes, across oncoming vehicles, between distances of buses, at last to Charlotte Street.
   Here, I found an available parking space. As I reversed into it, I noticed three people at a pavement cafe waving to me. I got out, trembling violently, like one who has just endured a stormy Atlantic crossing. " You’ ve shifted the car parked behind you three feet," they said, and it belonged to a disabled person. I examined the car. There were white scratches along its front bumper. It bore a disabled sign. So., now I was a bad driver and a bad man. Under the stern gaze of the three, I left an apologetic note on the damaged car’ s windscreen, giving my phone number.
   I unloaded the furniture, dripping with sweat. Wanting only to escape the monster, I drove the van back to its base on the Edgware Road. On arrival, the hire man told me I must fill it up with petrol before returning it. "Just charge me," I cried, still shaking with fear. He gazed at me with understanding. No doubt he’ d witnessed others in this state before. " How about I drive you to a petrol station, you fill up, and I drive her back?" he asked.
   He danced the great van through the traffic so casually that it would have shamed me if I had not been so grateful.
On his way to Charlotte Street, the writer felt_________.
选项 A、frightened
B、annoyed
C、relaxed
D、excited
答案A
解析 细节题。根据题干中的关键词Charlotte Street可定位至文章第三段第三句，“My nerves broke down，as I steered the huge van through ever-shifting lanes，across oncoming vehicles，between distances of buses，at last to Charlotte Street．”可知，那时作者面对不断变换着的车道，迎面而来的车以及在拥挤的车道中穿梭，作者的神经已经快崩溃了。A选项frightened“受惊的，害怕的”，B选项annoyed“恼怒的”，C选项relaxed“放松的”，D选项excited“兴奋的”。对比四个选项，只有A选项最符合作者当时的心情，故A为正确答案。
