15、ants would be open there”可以判断出，作者饿了，想找吃饭的地方，故正确答案为 C 项。3.答案：B解析：由于作者以前去过 Cairo，知道此时城里的大多数餐馆都关门(close down)了。let down“使失望，放下”，get down“记下，写下”，put down“记下”，均不符合语境。4.答案：D解析：出租车把作者放在了 Hardees 对面的街道。短语 drop sb.off 意思是“中途卸客”，符合语境。5.答案：D解析：作者要进去就餐，当然要去推开(open)那家餐馆的门。6.答案：C解析：根据文章的语境，街道上的两个男孩向作者跑来，叫喊(cry)着向
