答案解析
正确答案:B
解析:
这道题考查的是动词辨析以及上下文逻辑理解。我们需要根据故事情节的发展来选择最合适的动词。
**1. 语境分析**
* **前文线索**:作者意识到乔治·克鲁尼(George Clooney)和他的女友正走向餐厅的后门("they were going to the back door of the restaurant")。
* **动作主体**:作者骑上了摩托车("I got on my motorbike")。
* **动作对象**:他们的豪华轿车("their limousine")。
* **后续结果**:这次作者拍到了好照片("This time, I took a ... shot of Clooney")。这意味着作者成功接近或跟上了目标。
**2. 选项辨析**
* **A. ran (跑)**:通常指人用双腿快速移动。虽然也可以引申为“运行”,但在本句中,主语是“I”(作者),且作者已经骑上了摩托车(got on my motorbike),所以用“ran”不符合逻辑,也不能准确描述骑车跟随车辆的动作。
* **B. chased (追逐/追赶)**:意为快速移动以试图抓住或跟上某人/某物。在这里,作者骑摩托车去追赶前面行驶的豪华轿车,符合“追赶”的语境,也能解释为什么后来能拍到照片(因为追上了或跟得够近)。
* **C. rushed (冲/匆忙前往)**:强调动作的快速和急迫,通常后接目的地(如 rushed to the office)。虽然作者行动很急,但 "rushed their limousine" 这种搭配在英语中不常见,且不能准确表达“跟随/追赶车辆”这一动态过程。Chase 更强调两者之间的相对运动关系(我在追车)。
**3. 结论**
作者为了拍到照片,必须跟上正在移动的豪华轿车。骑摩托车去“追赶”(chase)车辆是最符合逻辑和语法的表达。
因此,正确答案是 **B. chased**。
