完形填空。
It was just getting dark. There was a touch of fog and I was on a lonely stretch of road.1I was going
along cheerfully, thinking about the dinner I would eat when I got to Salisbury.
Iwas going along2at about thirty-five miles an hour when suddenly I heard a scream, a3 scream-
' Help!' I looked round, but the only4of life was a large, black, rather suspicious-looking (可疑的) car
just5a bend in the road about a hundred yards away. That was where the cry had come from. I6speed
and went after it. I think the driver saw what I was doing, for he did the same and began to draw7me. As
I drew near, the girl's voice came again, a lovely voice but trembling with8.
'Let me go, you coward; you're hurting me. Oh! Oh!'
I felt my9boil. The fog was coming down10now, and the countryside was lonelier. I had no11
that the murderous guy in the car noticed this. Again came a cry.
'Drop that knife, you fool. Oh!' Then a cry and a groan (呻吟).
If I was to save her, it was now or12. Perhaps even now I was too late. But if I couldn't save the girl,
I would at least try to bring the murderer to13. The car was only a couple of yards away now. I drove the
bike right across its14, and its brakes (煞车) screamed as the driver tried to pull it over and15into the
ditch (沟) at the side of the road. The door of the car was pushed open angrily and a dark, evil-looking fellow
stepped out.
'You fool!' he shouted as he came towards me with his fist raised to hit me. But I was16than he. I put
all I could into17that would have knocked out Joe Louis. It18him right on the point of the chin; his19
slowly bent under him, and he dropped to the ground without a sound. I rushed to the car,20open the door
and looked inside. There was no girl there. Suddenly from the back of the car came a voice. 'You have been
listening to a radio play, Murder in Hollywood, with Mae Garbo and Clark Taylor. The news will follow
immediately.'
