根据下面资料，回答26-30题。
Late last year, I needed to transport some furniture from our house in Sussex to my son´ s fiat in central London. I should have paid a man to do it for me, but foolishly confident in my driving ability, I decided to hire a van and drive it myself. It was a Ford Transit 280, long and wide; you couldn´ t see out of the back. You never really knew how close you were to anything else on the road.
Reversing in my home yard, I crashed into a small shed, causing permanent damage. At least I owned the shed.
I loaded up the furniture and set out. By now it was rush hour. My nerves broke down, as I steered the huge van through ever-shifting lanes, across oncoming vehicles, between distances of buses, at last to Charlotte Street.
Here, I found an available parking space. As I reversed into it, I noticed three people at a pavement café waving to me. I got out, trembling violently, like one who has just endured a storm-y Atlantic crossing. "You´ ve shifted the car parked behind you three feet," they said, and it be-longed to a disabled person. I examined the car. There were white scratches along its front bumper.
It bore a disabled sign. So, now I was a bad driver and a bad man. Under the stern gaze of the three, I left an apologetic note on the damaged car´ s windscreen, giving my phone number.
I unloaded the furniture, dripping with sweat. Wanting only to escape the monster, I drove the van back to its base on the Edgware Road. On arrival, the hire man told me I must fill it up with petrol before returning it. "Just charge me," I cried, still shaking with fear. He gazed at me with understanding. No doubt he´d witnessed others in this state before. "How about I drive you to a petrol station, you fill up, and I drive her back?" he asked.
He danced the great van through the traffic so casually that it would have shamed me if I
had not been so grateful.

A.hired someone to drive for him
B.asked his son to do the delivery

参考译文
去年年底，我需要将我在苏塞克斯郡家里的一些家具运到我儿子在伦敦市中心的公寓去。我本该雇个人来做的，但由于盲目相信自己的驾车技术，我决定租一辆货车，然后自己开天若有情天亦老的意思
去伦敦。那是一辆福特全顺280，又长又宽。从车头根本看不到车尾。你根本想象不到，在路上，你和别的物体是有多近。
在我自己家院子里倒车的时候，我撞上了一个小棚子，造成了永久性的破坏。至少撞上的是我自己的棚子。
我将家具装上车，然后就出发了。那时已经是交通高峰期了。在我驾驶着这巨大的货车穿过不断变换着的车道、穿过迎面而来的汽车、在拥挤的车道中穿梭最终到达夏洛特街的时候，我已经崩溃了。
我终于到了一个空车位。就在倒车的时候，我注意到人行道咖啡厅那儿有三个人在对我招手。我剧烈地颤抖着下了车，像一个刚刚横渡波涛汹涌的大西洋的人一样。“你撞到了一辆位于你身后三英尺远的汽车，”他们说，那辆车的车主是一名残疾人。我检查了一下那辆车，发现沿着车子的前保险杠有几道白的划痕。上面有残疾人标志。现在，我不仅是一个坏司机还是一个坏人。在那三个人坚定的目光下，我在那辆被刮到的车子的挡风玻璃上留了一张道歉的字条，上面写有我的电话号码。
我大汗淋漓地把家具从车上卸下来。那时我只想逃离这恶魔，所以我将货车开回它在埃奇韦尔路的站点。一到那里，租车的男人告诉我要先将汽油加满才能还车。“我宁愿给钱，”我大喊到，一边还因害怕而颤抖着。他带着理解的目光看着我。毫无疑问，他以前肯定遇到过像我这样处境的人。“我载你去加油站，你来加油，然后我再把车开回来怎么样?”他问我。
若我当时没有对他心怀感激，那他开车时应对自如的车技就会使我感到羞愧了。
【精析】细节题。由文中第一段第二句话“I should have paid a man to do it for me，but foolishly confident in my driving ability，I decided to hire a van and drive it myself．”可知，作者本来能够付钱让别人来帮助他运送家具，但是由于对自己的开车技术比较自信，所以选择租车，然后自己开车去伦敦。所以A项是错误的，B项在文中没有提及。C项的a small van“小货车”和下文信息不符，故选D。

推断题。由文章的第五段第二句“Wanting only to escape the monster，I drove the Van back to its base on the Edgware Road．”可知，当时作者想要逃离这个“恶魔”，A项意为“这段糟糕的经历”，但是经历是抽象的东西，并且储存在脑海中，所以不需要逃离；B项意为“笨重的家具”，在文中给作者造成困扰的是开货车，并不是家具；C项意为“在站点的那个男人”，此时这个人还没有出现，所以也不是指人；D项意为“他开的货车”，符合题意，综观全文，是这巨大的货车给他造成了困扰，故选D。
