Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．A;3．C;4．B;
解析：

(1)	根據(jù)三個人的描述，可知Newtown和Midwick處在同一條路線上，但方向相對，兩位騎摩托車的人都是從Midwick到Newtown，而司機(jī)是行駛在去Midwick的方向上，正當(dāng)他向右拐進(jìn)Sturham路時，被迎面過來的摩托車撞在汽車的左邊。
(2)	根據(jù)布朗先生和第一位騎摩托車的人的描述可知，布朗先生把摩托車燈誤認(rèn)為是汽車的燈，而且認(rèn)為對面的汽車距離很遠(yuǎn)，所以他才向右拐到Sturham路上。
(3)	根據(jù)布朗先生的描述，他當(dāng)時從車中伸出手示意他要拐彎。
(4)	英國的汽車中，司機(jī)座在右邊；乘客座在左邊。
