38、ecord录制；sell卖，销售；write写。故选B。3.【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段According to Adele herself, much of the inspiration of her music comes from one single breakup. “据阿黛尔本人表示，她的音乐灵感大多来自于一次分手事件。”可知B为正确选项。4. 【解析】选A。根据文章第七段Born in north London, Adele sang her way up honestly“出生在伦敦北部的阿黛尔的确一路高歌猛进”可知A正确。根据第二段recorded one
39、of the most moving albums of the year. 可知B错误。根据第六段“这张DVD在亚马逊网站预定榜单上高居榜首超过一个月之久，似乎短时间内它还不会让位。”可知C错误。根据文章第八段“2009年，她获得了格莱美最佳新人奖，并进行全球巡演宣传她的专辑19，其中洛杉矶站的演唱会门票销售一空。”可知D错误。5. 【解析】选D。推理判断题。本题的解题关键在于了解在美国, 高耸的大桥通常是人们自杀的场所。根据这个背景知识（失业）, 再结合第三段中的“a chance to profit from my loss of hope”和这位巴基斯坦司机说的话可推断出司机以为作者要
40、到华盛顿桥去自杀。6. 【解析】选B。细节理解题。本题考查对复杂句的理解。答案可以在文章的最后一句话中找到, 第二个破折号后面but引出的内容才是作者对司机不愿等人的理解, 即甚至抢银行的人也不能指望得到无条件的支持。7.【解析】选 C。细节理解题。答案可从第三段第一句话中找到，C项是该句的同义替换。A项中的“do whatever you want to”过于绝对；B项不符合逻辑, 因为司机不可能先问乘客是否要自杀再决定是否让这个乘客坐车；巴基斯坦司机的例子表明司机不都是为了钱，因此D项不正确。8.【解析】选C。主旨大意题。文章开篇第一句话就是整篇文章的主题句, 接下来的各段内容都是围绕此主题展开的，只有C项最能概括文章大意。本题最具干扰性的是D, 事实上, 该选项中的troublesome意为“烦人的”，而不是“陷入麻烦的”。因此不能用该词形容文中的乘客, 故排除D。
