试题题干
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().

试题解析
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。
