rious,Iopenedthedoor.(猫叫的声音越来越大。出于好奇，我打开了门)”可知，作者非常思念自己的猫咪，想确认外面是不是一只小猫的想法让作者打开了门。故选D。【43题详解】词句猜测题。根据第三段最后一句“Ithankedherandclosedthedoor,determinedtojustlethimstayuntilarealhomecouldbefound.(我谢过她，关上了门，决心只让他留到找到一个真正的家)”可知，作者并不打算收养这只小猫，所以“Afterall,mydeterminationhadbeenwellreasonedandremainedfirm.”的意思是作者决定不再收养动物。故选B。【44题详解】细节理解题。根据倒第二段第二句“Wereturnedtothehouse,managedtokeepthebusinessalive,broughtthemysterynoveltothefinaleditsbeforeit’ssubmittedinthehopeofpublication.(我们回到房子里，设法让生意继续下去，把这部悬疑小说在提交之前进行了最终的编辑，希望能出版)”和最后一句“Everysingleday,Iappreciatetheserendipitous(有意外收获的)natureoftheUniversethatsentmehopeintheformofalittleblackfurball.(每一天，我都在欣赏宇宙的偶然发现，它通过一个小小的黑色毛球给我带来了希望)”可知，作者说Starlight使他重获希望，取得进步。故选C。【45题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Sotakealittleadvicefrommyfurryfriend:nomatterhowhopelessthingsmaybecomeorhowfixedyourresolutionmaybe,openthedoorwheneveropportunityknocks.Itjustmightbeastartolightyourway.(所以，请接受我这位毛茸茸的朋友的一点建议：无论事情变得多么无望，无论你的决心多么坚定，只要机会来敲门，就去开门。它可能就是一颗照亮你前进道路的星星)”可知，文章主要是讲作者的猫咪Starlight就像一颗照亮前进道路的星星一样使他重获希望，取得进步。故选D。CBaddriversintheDistrictcouldsoongetaseriouswarningsentstraighttotheircellphones.Thecityisworkingtoidentifydriverswithahistoryoftrafficviolations,suchasspeedingandred-lightcarnettickets,tosendmessagesalertingthemoftheirhistoryofinfractions（违规）whilewarningoftheirrisksofgettingintoafatalcrash.Cityofficialssaytheyhopethepointedmessages（定制信息）willdeterdangerousroadbehaviors."Wuknowthatthereisasubsetofdriversthatareputtingothersatseriousriskwithexcessivespeedingandred-lightrunning,"saidJeffMarootian,directorofthecity'sDepartmentofTransportation,oneoftheagenciesleadingtheeffort."We'rehopingthatthiscreativeapproachcanultimatelyreduceseriousinjuryandfatalitycrashes.”"Thisisacreativeapproachthatwehaven'ttriedbefore,andwethinkthatitisworththeeffort,"Marootiansaid.Theconcept,whichD.C.officialssayisafirstamongcitiesnationwide,isthelatestefforttotargetdangerousdriversinacitywhereseriousandfatalcrashesareontherise.Cityleaderssaidevidenceshowsdriverswithmultipletrafficviolationsaremorelikelytobeinvolvedincrashes.Researchershavestudiedtherelationshipbetweenrepeattrafficoffendersandseriouscollisions（碰撞）,withsomedatasuggestingastrongconnectionbetweenthetwo.Butsomeresearchersalsohavepointedtootherfactorsatplay,suchastheamountoftimethedriverspendsontheroadandexposuretotrafficenforcement（强制性）systems.AteamfromTheLabledbyMurielE.Bowser,isexaminingdatafromtheDistrict'sautomatedtrafficenforcementprogramtopredictadriver'slikelihoodofbeinginvolvedinaseriouscrash.Itwillcreateacampaignthatcouldincludetextmessagesandmailsenttoasampleofhigh-riskdrivers."Wewillevaluatewhetherdriverswhoreceivethesemessageshavefewerred-lightviolations,speedingviolations,andUltimately,clashes,comparedtothegroupofhigh-riskdriverswhodonotreceivethemessages,"accordingtoTheLab.Theprogramisamongthelatestroad-safetymeasureswiththepurposeofcuttingthegrowingnumberoftrafficinjuriesandfatalities.Althoughthenewmessagesappearasawarningtohigher-riskdriverscityofficialssaidtheintentistoeducatetherecipient,Marootiansaidthereisnoviolationorfineattachedtothemessageandthatthecampaignistousedatatodirectlycommunicatewithindividualdrivers.Somequestionedwhetherthemessagewillwork.46.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“deter”inparagraph2probablymean?A.Prevent.
