A．was happening
B．happens
C．has happened
D．happened
答案：D 句意：伊莉莎清楚地记得所有的事情，这一切就像昨天刚刚发生的。as if引导的从句所表示的情况不是事实而是主观想像或夸大性的比喻，从句中谓语动词要用虚拟语气，所以D项符合。

A．of; at
B．by; in
C．of; on
D．on; at
答案：C 句意：科学家们坚信笑对身心健康有积极影响。be convinced of“坚信，深信，确信”；effect常与on连用，意为“对……的影响”。以上两个均属于固定搭配，故选C。

We spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. With the car full of flowers we were going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard outside a furniture shop. It
was tall and narrow.
“Buy it，” my wife said at once. “We'll carry it home on the roof rack.
I've always wanted one like that.”
What could I do? Ten minutes later I was ￡ 20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on the roof rack. It was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.
In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers
seemed unusually polite that evening.
The police even stopped traffic to let us through.
Carrying furniture was a good idea.
After a time my wife said, “There's a long line of cars
behind. Why don't they overtake, I wonder？” In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us
seriously as they passed.
But then, with great kindness,
they led us through the rushhour traffic.
The police car
stopped at our village church.
One of the officers came to me.
“Right, sir，”
he said.
“Do you need any more help？”
I was a bit puzzled. “Thanks, officer，” I said. “You have been very kind. I was just on the road.”He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at
the cupboard. “Well, well，” he said, laughing. “It's a cupboard you've got there! We thought it was something
else.”
My wife began to laugh. The truth hit me like a stone
between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. “Yes, it's a cupboard, but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.
文章大意：作者和妻子在采花回家的路上，妻子又买了一个橱柜装在车上，其他的司机及警察都以为他们是去给人送葬，所以纷纷给其让路。

A. carrying a cupboard to the church
B. sending flowers to the church
C. carrying nothing but a piece of furniture
