  Driving through snowstorm on icy roads for long distances is a most nerve-racking experience.

The might of automated man is__4__ . The horses, the powerful electrical systems, the deep-tread tires, all go __5__ nothing.

The trucks are like __9__ when you have to pass them, not at sixty or seventy __10__ you do when the road is dry, but at twenty-five and thirty. __11__ their engines sound unnaturally loud.

  1.[精解] 本题考查短语动词辨析。空格处填入的副词与动词come搭配,其分词形式作后置定语,修饰限定主语the snow。come down指“(雨、雪等)落下,降落”,如:The rain came down in torrents.(大雨滂沱。)因此[C]符合文意,在文中指“大雪飘落”。
  
  come down也可意为“崩塌;(飞机)着陆;(价格、温度、比例)下降;下垂,向下延伸”,如:The ceiling came down.(天花板塌了下来。)Gas is coming down in price.(煤气价格在下降。)come up意为“破土而出;升起;即将发生”,如:The daffodils are just beginning to come up.(水仙花刚开始破土发芽。)watch the sun come up(观看日出)。Her birthday is coming up.(她的生日即将来临。)come off意为“能被去掉或除去;发生;(计划等)成功”,如:That mark won’t come off.(那污点去不掉。)Did the trip to Korea come off?(去韩国的事最后成了吗?)come on意为“改进,发展;开始”,如:The project is coming on fine.(这项工程进展顺利。)I think there’s rain coming on.(我看要下雨了。)
  
  2.[精解] 本题考查短语动词辨析。空格处填入的动词与down搭配,相当于及物动词,其主语是the snow,宾语是a treacherous carpet。lie down意为“躺下”;lay down意为“放下;记下;拟定”,如:lay down the arms/the rules(放下武器/制定规则);settle down意为“安下心来,定居”;send down只能接sb.作宾语,意为“判某人入狱”,如:He was sent down for ten years for armed robbery.(他因持械抢劫被判入狱十年。)因此[B]符合文意,意为“(大雪)吹落(一块毯子)”。
  
  3.[精解] 本题考查动词辨析。空格处填入的动词接the view作宾语,而且它与前面的2 down和freezes并列作谓语,其主语都是the snow。作及物动词时,block意为“堵塞,阻塞”,如:to block the road(堵住了道路)。strike意为“撞击,打击,侵袭”,如:The ship struck a rock.(船触礁了。)The area was struck by an outbreak of plague.(这个地区爆发了瘟疫。)puff意为“吸,抽,喷”,如:to puff the cigar/smoke into sb.’s faces(抽雪茄/把烟往别人脸上喷)。cancel意为“取消”。能够和the view搭配的只有[A]block,表示“挡住视线”。
  
  4.[精解] 本题考查动词辨析。空格处填入的过去分词与is构成被动式的谓语,因此其动词的实际的宾语是the might(强大力量,威力)。mute意为“消除或减弱声音;减弱,缓解”,如:mute the traffic noise/the criticism(减弱了车辆的噪音/委婉地提出批评)。discover意为“发现,发觉”;double意为“加倍”;undervalue意为“低估...之价值,看轻”。因此[A]符合文意,它与the might搭配,表示“威力减弱”。
  
  5.[精解] 本题考查固定短语。go for nothing相当于be in vain,意为“白费,毫无用处,毫无价值”。因此[A]正确,其他介词都不能与go和nothing构成搭配。
  
  6.[精解] 本题考查形容词辨析。feel是系动词,意为“摸起来,感觉起来”,它常与形容词构成系表结构,如:The water feels warm.(这水摸起来很暖和。)本题中feel的主语是the road, 因此空格处的形容词应说明“道路”的特点。四个选项都可以修饰事物,comfortable一般指“(衣服、家具等)使人舒服的”,如:The bed/these shoes are very comfortable.(这床/这双鞋子很舒服。)weak意为“不牢固的,易损坏的”,如:The bridge is too weak to carry heavy traffic.(那座桥梁不太牢固,承受不住过多的车辆。)weak也可指“微弱的,隐约的”,强调不容易被看到或听到,如:a weak light/sound(微弱的光线/声音)。risky意为“有危险或风险的”,如:a risky investment(有风险的投资)。firm意为“坚固的,结实的,稳固的”,如:No building can stand without firm foundations.(没有稳固的基础,建筑就不牢靠。)根据上下文,空格处的形容词应与下文“容易滑倒”相对照,因此[D]正确,强调道路“结实”。
  
  7.[精解] 本题考查英语语言习惯。英语和汉语中都有大量的比喻形式。有些比喻的喻体大不相同,如:spend money like water(挥金如土);有些则很相似,如:as firm as a rock(坚如磐石),as light as a feather(轻如鸿毛)。因此本题应选[B],文中用这个比喻形容“车子打滑时驾驶者失重的感受”。loaf意为“一条(面包)”;leaf意为“树叶”;fog意为“雾”。
  
  8.[精解] 本题考查介词辨析。空格所在部分wondering... 是个分词结构,在句中作状语,wondering的逻辑主语是the driver,逻辑宾语是what引导的宾语从句。该从句中,coming up... the rear也是一个分词短语,作从句主语trucks的后置定语。空格处填入介词,其宾语是the rear(后面、后边、后部),根据文意,表示“从后面”应选[C]from。beneath和under都表示“在……之下”,beyond表示“在(或向)较远的一边”,不符合逻辑。
  
  9.[精解] 本题考查根据上下文选择恰当的词。空格所在部分是一个比喻,说明卡车像什么。下文出现了两个when引导的状语从句的比较:路面干燥时的行驶速度为60或70,而此时的行驶速度为25和30。可见,文章在说明由于路面滑造成了行驶速度下降。根据逻辑推理,行驶缓慢时从大卡车旁开过花费的时间当然较长,因此它们看起来更像giants“巨人”,而不是dwarfs“矮子”,patients“病人”或princesses“公主”。因此[B]正确。
  
  10.[精解] 本题考查从句引导词。空格所在句子中存在比较,即,you have to pass them not... you do when the road is dry(路面滑时开车不像路面干燥时那样快),因此空格处填入的词应引导比较状语从句you do when... ,从句中do为上文动词pass的替代词。[C]as可用于比较结构,表示“像……一样,如同”,如:He doesn’t earn as much as I do.(他挣的钱不如我多。)因此[C]正确。what只能引导名词性从句,what you do表示“你做的事情”;since一般引导时间状语从句,表示“从……以后,自……以来”;that只能引导定语从句或名词性从句。
  
  11.[精解] 本题考查逻辑词辨析。空格处填入的词出现在句首,表示上文与空格所在句子之间的逻辑关系。then是副词,可用来引出额外的信息,意为“另外,还有;再者,而且”,如:She’s been very busy at work and then there was all that trouble with her son.(她工作一直很忙,另外还有儿子的一大堆麻烦事。)上文提到路面滑时从卡车旁开过的速度非常慢,本句则提到另一方面的问题是卡车的噪音非常大。因此[D]then正确,在文中意为“而且,此外”。其它选项:so表示因果关系;but表示转折关系;or表示选择关系。
  
  12.[精解] 本题考查名词辨析。空格处填入的名词作定语修饰ice。flake意为“小薄片”,修饰snow时指“雪花”,又如:dried onion flakes(干洋葱皮片);flock一般指“(羊或鸟)群”或“一大群(人)”,如:a flock of sheep/children(羊群/一大群孩子);chip意为“碎屑,碎片,碎渣”,如:chips of wood(碎木屑);cake作名词时指“蛋糕或饼状食物”,作动词时意为“覆盖”。从下文可知,车轮子下溅出来的应是“雪、泥(slush)和碎冰渣”,因此[C]最符合文意。
  
  13.[精解] 本题考查介词辨析。空格处填入的介词与动词rattle(象声词,“格格响,嘎嘎响”)搭配,其宾语是your car,主语是上文的snow, slush and chips of ice。选项中,onto表示“(朝某处或某位置运动)向,朝”,如:Move the books onto the second shelf.(把书移到第二层架子上。)against表示“逆着,与……相反”或“紧靠,倚”,如:We were rowing against the current.(我们划船逆水而上。)lean against the wall(斜靠着墙)。off意为down or away from a place“从(某处落下)”,如:I fell off the ladder.(我从梯子上跌了下来。)along意为“沿着,顺着”,如:They walked slowly along the road.(他们沿着公路慢慢走)。根据句意,应是“雪、泥和碎冰渣溅到车上,又格格作响地从车上掉下来”,因此[C]正确。
  
  14.[精解] 本题考查根据上下文选择恰当的词。四个选项都是常见的简单词汇,关键要根据句子含义进行选择。空格所在句子的结构是there is plenty of sth. for you to... ,其中不定式作结果状语,意为“轮子下有足够的……让你打滑并被碾成肉酱”。根据句子逻辑,应是“(足够的)空间”,而非“雪”,“泥土”或“冰”。因此[C]正确。
  
  15.[精解] 本题考查英语成语。英语讲究对称美,其表现之一为成语排列形式上的对称美,即,以介词、连词(and或or)或动词为“对称轴”,构成相同词、同词性的词、反义词或同类词的对称。本题inch by inch就是以介词by为“对称轴”构成的相同词(inch)的对称,意为“一点一点地”。类似结构的成语还有:head to head(交头接耳),word for word(逐词地),like for like(以牙还牙)。[A]为正确项。
  
  16.[精解] 本题考查动词辨析。空格处填入现在分词作句子状语,其逻辑主语是you。climb一般指“(向上)攀登,(吃力地向某处)爬”,如:climb up the stairs(爬上了梯子),climb through the window(从窗口爬了出来)。crawl指“(向前,身体接近地面的)爬行”,如:The baby is just starting to crawl.(宝宝刚开始会爬。)wind作不及物动词时,意为“(路,河等)蜿蜒,曲折而行”,如:The path wound down to the beach.(这条小路弯弯曲曲通向海滩。)slide指“滑行,滑动”。根据句意,你(驾驶者)缓慢地从大卡车旁往前开,由于路面滑,只能是“慢慢地滑过”。因此[D]正确。
  
  17.[精解] 本题考查逻辑词辨析。空格前后是两个独立的分句,因此空格处需要填入一个连词。meanwhile为副词,意为“同时”,放在句首时要么另起一句,要么与前一句用分号隔开,如:I went to college. Meanwhile, all my friends got well-paid jobs.(我上大学去了,那时我的朋友们全都找到了收入不错的工作。)[A]首先排除。其他几个词都可作连词,unless意为“除非”,whereas常用于比较或对比两个事实,意为“然而,但是,尽管”;for意为“因为”。根据句意,空格前后两个分句之间是因果关系,即,“你(驾驶者)继续笔直地往前开,因为突然超车抢道到卡车前面(cut over sharply)会使你的车滑倒”,因此[D]正确。
  
  18.[精解] 本题考查副词辨析。空格处应填入一个副词,修饰介词短语in front of(在……前面)。sheer作副词时意为“垂直地,陡峭地”,如:The cliffs rise sheer from the beach.(悬崖从海滩上拔地而起。)mostly意为“主要地,一般地”,如:We’re mostly out on Sundays.(我们星期天一般不在家。)rarely意为“罕有,很少,不常”,如:We rarely agree on what to do.(我们很少在要做的事情上看法一致。)right意为“正好,恰好,直接地”,如:Lee was standing right behind her.(李就站在她身后。)根据文意,[D]正确。
  
  19.[精解] 本题考查根据上下文选择恰当的词。四个选项的含义分别是might“力量”,distance“距离”,air“空气”,power“力量,势力”。根据空格所在句子的含义,应选[B],表示“当有足够的车距时,你才慢慢地挪到卡车的前方”。
  
  20.[精解] 本题考查介词辨析。空格前的but为并列连词,连接句子中的两个状语成分,即,in front of... 和 the sound thundering。“with+名词+分词”可构成独立主格结构,作状语。因此[A]正确。其它项作介词时,like意为“像,如同”,inside意为“在......里面”,upon意为“在......上”。
