2013年高考第二輪復習英語全國版專題升級訓練十一完形填空（三）ALast night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg，a _1_ of about eighty miles.It was late and I was in a hurry.However，if anyone asked me how fast I was _2_，I'd say I was not over­speeding.Several times I got _3_ behind a slow­moving truck on a narrow road，and I was holding my fists tightly with _4_.At one point along an open highway，I _5_ a crossroads with a traffic light.I was alone on the road by now，but as I _6_ the light，it turned red and I braked to a stop.I looked left，right and behind me.Nothing.No cars，no suggestion of headlights，but there I sat，waiting for the light to _7_，the only human being for at least a mile in any _8_.I started _9_ why I refused to run the light.I was not afraid of being _10_，because there was obviously no policeman around，and there certainly would have been no _11_ in going through it.Much later that night，after I _12_ a group of my friends in Lewisburg and climbed into bed near midnight，the question of why I'd stopped for that light _13_ me.I think I stopped because it's part of a contract（合同）we all have with each other.It's not only the _14_，but it's an arrangement we have，and we trust each other to _15_ it：we don't go through red lights.Like most of us，I'm more likely to be _16_ from doing something bad by the social convention that _17_ it than by any law against it.It's amazing that we ever _18_ each other to do the right thing，isn't it？And we do，too.Trust is our _19_ preference.I was so _20_ of myself for stopping for the red light that night.1Aflight Bdistance Croad

good things for others.”She _8_ me for coming in and said，“Maybe we'll get some good news，”and she _9_.She made my day.The following day after my business appointments，I _10_ the same store again to

專題升級訓練十一完形填空（三）A1B哈里斯堡（Harrisburg）和路易斯堡（Lewisburg）兩個地方之間的“距離（distance）”大約是八十英里。D項表示“長度”，語意不恰當。2B本段開頭部分提到作者當時開車行駛在兩地之間，所以此處描述的是“開車”的速度。3C在一條狹窄的道路上，作者好幾次被前面一輛行駛緩慢的卡車“困住”了，即無法超車。4D根據(jù)本段第二句的內(nèi)容可知作者當時急于趕路，所以非?！安荒蜔┑亍蔽站o了拳頭。5B在一條開闊的公路上，作者“來到（came to）”了一個有交通燈的十字路口。6C當“靠近（approached）”交通燈時，燈變成了紅色，作者于是踩了剎車。7B作者坐在那里，等待交通燈“變成”綠色。8D上文提到作者環(huán)顧左右和后面，但是一片空蕩蕩，由此可知作者是至少一英里之內(nèi)任何一個“方向”中唯一的人。9A雖然當時四周沒有一個人，可是作者仍然沒有闖紅燈，于是作者開始“疑惑”自己這樣做的原因。后三項分別表示“懷疑”“掙扎”“遺憾”，均不符合語境。10B作者不害怕被“罰款”，因為四周沒有交警。fine“處以罰金”，符合語境。11A由于當時周圍沒有人，闖紅燈當然不會有“危險”。12A在當晚的晚些時候，作者“見到”了一群朋友。后三項分別表示“克服”“擺脫”“回電話”，都不符合語境。13B上一段的開頭部分提到作者不知道自己當時為什么沒有闖紅燈，此時作者又“回想起”這個問題。14C作者認為自己之所以停下來是因為這是“我們”所有人彼此之間合同的一部分，它不僅僅是“法律”，而且是“我們”達成的協(xié)定。此外，第17空后面的law也是線索提示。15A“我們”彼此信任對方會“執(zhí)行”這一協(xié)定：“我們”不闖紅燈。honor表示“信守，執(zhí)行”，符合語境。16A像“我們”中的大多數(shù)人一樣，作者更可能被社會慣例“制止”做被其認為是不好的事情。后三項分別表示“保護”“拒絕”“害怕”，均不符合語境。17D相對于被法律制止做些不正確的事，作者更傾向于被社會慣例制止住。disapprove of“不贊成”。前三項分別表示“談及”“支持”“吸收”，均不符合語境。18B“我們”總是彼此“信任（trust）”對方去做正確的事情，這非常令人驚奇。此外，第15空前面的trust以及第19空前面的trust都是線索提示。19B作者強調(diào)彼此之間應該互相信任，這是“我們”的第一選擇。20D作者通過深思感悟到當時的行為非常正確，為那天晚上沒有闖紅燈感到無比“自豪”。B1B從下文第11空后的counter可知，此處表示“收銀臺”，故選B項。2C她向我買的報紙瞥了一眼（glanced）說：“我早就厭煩了（tired of）頭版那些消極的消息了，我想讀些好（good）消息，換換口味。”這里glance at是固定詞組，表示“對看一眼，瞥見”。3A根據(jù)下文說“想換換口味”可知，這里應是指已經(jīng)厭倦了現(xiàn)在的頭版消息。4B參見第2題解析。這里表達的意思應該與negative相反，所以選good，也可從第6空后的a good news newspaper得到提示。5A實際上（In fact），“我”認為人們應該出版（publish）一種只有好消息的報紙。6D參見第5題解析。7A報紙上講些美好的、鼓舞人心的故事，講述人們?nèi)绾慰朔щy這里用stories表示“故事，事情”，選A項。8B這位女收銀員對“我”能夠光顧她們的便利店表示了感謝，所以用thanked。9C從上下文可知，“我們”告別的時候，彼此都很高興，所以她應該是“笑著”跟我說再見的，用laughed。10A第二天，“我”又順路經(jīng)過這家店。drop by表示“順便經(jīng)過”，stand by表示“站在旁邊”，bring in表示“引進”，take in表示“欺騙，讓進入”，根據(jù)語意選A項。11B從上下文可知，這次的收銀員不是上次的那位，用different。12C作者買了報紙和水后，付錢給收銀員，所以用handed，表示“交給”。13A但這位收銀員什么也沒說，微笑也沒有，甚至連一個手勢都沒有。所以根據(jù)上下文，該空用gesture，表示“手勢，姿勢”。14Din a negative tone表示“用消極的語調(diào)”，故選D項。15B從上下文可知，這讓作者非常震撼。此處hit表示“使某人突然意識到并感到驚訝”。16A從上文可知，第一位收銀員讓作者感覺非常好，所以用great，但第二位收銀員給作者的感覺好像是作者的出現(xiàn)（showing up）給她帶來了很多麻煩和不便。17C參見第16題解析。move on“向前進，繼續(xù)”，go away“走開”，show off “炫耀”，都與語境不符。18C從上下文可知，你每天早上都要問問自己，所以用反身代詞yourself。19B從語境可知，這將極大地決定（determining）你人生（life）中要經(jīng)歷的幸福和快樂。determine“決定”。create“創(chuàng)造”，share “分享”，form“形成”，這三項都與語境不符。20D參見第19題解析。C1D這是一個常識題，即能夠過小溪而不濕鞋或腳。A、B和C三項雖然符合語法，但卻不合常理。2C工程師正在想一個辦法，所以用way，且“to get automobiles across the river without getting their wheels wet”是不定式短語作該詞的定語。road “馬路”；route“路線”；way“方式，方法，辦法”；course“河道，航線，過程”。3B前文交代了the young fisherman和the engineer這兩者提出的問題，所以選擇both“兩者，兩者都”。4Atake long“花費很長時間”；根據(jù)后文的“just place a board across the little stream”可知，漁夫的橋不會花很長時間就能建成。5A“have it”在此的意思是“達到目的，實現(xiàn)”。此句補全意為“只要在小溪放一塊木板就搞定了”。6D因為是人要過小溪，所以這個臨時木板橋只要夠結實，只要漁夫不那么重，一切就沒有問題，所以此處要選D項，weigh“稱重”。7C根據(jù)上下文內(nèi)容可知應該選擇C項，“設計，策劃”。8B前文問：那位工程師會計劃做同樣的橋嗎？此空所在的句子：你知道他不會這樣做的。根據(jù)下文可知應該選擇B項。9D兩個人，一個人要徒步過小溪，另一個是乘車過河，所以此處應該選擇D項，就是說“車比人重得多”。10A河流與小溪比較，應該是寬得多，所以A項正確。如果選擇B項，則表示小溪本身很深，才會說河流更深。再結合下文“A long wood bridge just won't.”這部分，更是表明這里討論的是河流和溪水的寬度。11Ado在此的意思是“夠用，足夠”，為不及物動詞，補全后句意為：長的木橋還不夠。make需和it搭配意為“成功”；pass意為“通過”時是及物動詞；arise“產(chǎn)生”，不合邏輯。12C根據(jù)空后面的“and break under its own weight”可知答案為C項。it指前面的a long wood bridge。因為木橋不夠結實，那么在自身的重力下就會變彎曲甚至是斷掉。13B漁夫的問題很容易解決，但是工程師的就不那么簡單了。根據(jù)句意可知答案為B項。14C四個選項中只有C項feel是系動詞，后面可以接形容詞作表語。句意：別為工程師感到難過。15D根據(jù)后面的“the very beginning”可知，此處用D項，start from the very beginning “從一開始”。16B根據(jù)上下文可知此處應該選B項，即“每座橋都要適合其特殊目的”。be suited to“適合”。17A后面的“nearby”指的是前面“河流的附近”，據(jù)此可知此處應該用A項，即“河附近的陸地”。18D根據(jù)前面的“choose the type best suited to the river”可知應該選擇D項，意思是“要選擇更合適的橋”。19C該句主語“they”指的是前面“用紙板做的橋”，后面的賓語為“five­ton truck”，據(jù)此應該選擇C項，即這個橋不能承受5噸的卡車。20BA項“用途，用處”；B項“想法，主意，觀點”；C項“嘗試，企圖”；D項“因素”。句意：但是你可以通過多做一些實驗來弄清橋梁設計的一些主要思想。根據(jù)句意可知B項符合。
