M: Wait. What are you doing?
W: What does it look like I’m doing? (12) I’m having your car towed away for illegal parking. You parked your car in a no-parking area. Look, sir. There’s a sign right there that says, "Tow-away zone. No parking between the hours from 7a.m. to 6 p. m. "
M: What sign? Oh, that one? (13)Those tree branches are covering it.
W: Take that complaint up with the city. I’m just here to uphold the law. Anyway, you can clearly see it once you get out of your car.
M: But my car was only here for five minutes. (14)I just had to run into this building to drop off some clothing at the homeless shelter. Just try to help people in need.
W: (14)The homeless shelter is six blocks down the road. Anyway, here’s your ticket, and the address where you can pick up your car is found on the back.
M: What? One hundred and fifty dollars? That’s, that’s outrageous. Completely ludicrous.
W: Sorry, sir.
M: And you mean you’re going to tow the car away? I’m standing right here. Look. How about two tickets for a lecture on the history of English language tomorrow night at the library?
W: (15)Sir, it’s illegal to bribe an officer.
M: Wait a minute. Here are some coupons for a free burger at that restaurant across the street. You can buy one and get the second one half price.
W: (15)Sorry, sir. Have a good day.

C、She exposes the man’s lie.
D、She will not tow his car away.

答案 C

解析 男士表示自己停车是为了给避难所里无家可归的人送衣服,但女士说那个避难所在这条路的六个街区后。由此推断男士说了谎,而女士揭穿了他的谎言。
