It seems to me that there has recently been an epidemic of auto

It seems to me that there has recently been an epidemic of auto macho—a competition perceived and expressed in driving. People fight it out over parking spaces. A toll booth becomes a signal for elbowing fenders. And beetle-eyed drivers hunch over their steering wheels, squeezing the rims, glowering, preparing the excuse of not having seen you as they muscle you off the road. Approaching a highway on an entrance ramp recently, I was strong-armed by a trailer truck so immense that its driver all but blew me away by blasting his horn. The behemoth was just inches from my hopelessly mismatched vehicle when I fled for the safety of the shoulder.The word "behemoth" in Paragraph 5 means something().
A、very large
B、extremely expensive
C、quite advanced​
D、​unusually attractive
【正确答案】:A
【题目解析】:原文中提到:The behemoth was just inches from my hopelessly mismatched vehicle when I fled for the safety of the shoulder. 句中信号词是mismatched, (搭配不当的)可见与 behemoth 相比,我的车是无法匹敌的。可见 behemoth 应该是相当大的一辆车。Behemoth n. 庞然大物,巨兽。
