Some very strange things happened late at night．
The other day I was taking a woman home from a party．She had her little dog with her．When we got to her house，she found that she had lost her key．So I waited in the car with the dog while she climbed in through the windows．I waited and waited．After half an hour of ringing the bell I decided to find out what was going on．I tied the dog to a tree and started to climb in through the window．The next thing I knew was that the police came．They thought I was a thief．

Answer 1

分析 我已经开了差不多10年的出租车．大多数伦敦的出租车司机都有自己的出租车．大多数时间里这是一份好工作．你可以遇到好多人．我总是在晚上工作，因为白天的交通总是很拥挤．我住在离伦敦20英里的地方，我一般在下午5：30去工作．我通常在早上2点到3点之间回家．
在深夜发生了一些奇怪的事情．前几天，我拉了一位参加晚会回家的女士．她带着一只小狗．当我们到她家的时候，她发现钥匙不见了．当她通过窗子爬进她的家的时候，我和她的狗在车里等着．我等啊等．半个小时之后，门铃响了，我决定看看怎么了，我牵着狗爬到了树上，之后开始爬窗户．接下来的事就是警察来了．他们把我当成了小偷．
幸运的是那位女士这时候下楼．她一定是睡着了，忘了我和她的狗．

55．C．细节理解题．根据 After half an hour of ringing the bell I decided to find out what was going on．可知他翻墙而入是想知道里面发生了什么事情．故C正确．故选C．
