A
Last 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.

Two minds with a single thought!

But don't __14__ sorry for the engineer.He doesn't have to __15__ the very beginning with a long board.People have been thinking about bridges for thousands of years.They have designed many types of bridges.Each bridge is suited to its special __16__.The engineer can choose the type best suited to the river and the __17__ nearby.
What choice does he have,and why is one __18__ than the others?One way for you to find out is to make a few bridges out of cardboard.They won't be strong enough to __19__ a fiveton truck,but you will find out some of the main __20__ of bridge design by doing some experiments.

A
1. 答案:B
解析:哈里斯堡(Harrisburg)和路易斯堡(Lewisburg)两个地方之间的“距离(distance)”大约是八十英里。D项表示“长度”,语意不恰当。
2. 答案:B
解析:本段开头部分提到作者当时开车行驶在两地之间,所以此处描述的是“开车”的速度。
3. 答案:C
解析:在一条狭窄的道路上,作者好几次被前面一辆行驶缓慢的卡车“困住”了,即无法超车。
4. 答案:D
解析:根据本段第二句的内容可知作者当时急于赶路,所以非常“不耐烦地”握紧了拳头。
5. 答案:B
解析:在一条开阔的公路上,作者“来到(came to)”了一个有交通灯的十字路口。
6. 答案:C
解析:当“靠近(approached)”交通灯时,灯变成了红色,作者于是踩了刹车。
7. 答案:B
解析:作者坐在那里,等待交通灯“变成”绿色。
8. 答案:D
解析:上文提到作者环顾左右和后面,但是一片空荡荡,由此可知作者是至少一英里之内任何一个“方向”中唯一的人。
9. 答案:A
解析:虽然当时四周没有一个人,可是作者仍然没有闯红灯,于是作者开始“疑惑”自己这样做的原因。后三项分别表示“怀疑”“挣扎”“遗憾”,均不符合语境。
10. 答案:B
解析:作者不害怕被“罚款”,因为四周没有交警。fine“处……以罚金”,符合语境。
11. 答案:A
解析:由于当时周围没有人,闯红灯当然不会有“危险”。
12. 答案:A
解析:在当晚的晚些时候,作者“见到”了一群朋友。后三项分别表示“克服”“摆脱”“回电话”,都不符合语境。
13. 答案:B
解析:上一段的开头部分提到作者不知道自己当时为什么没有闯红灯,此时作者又“回想起”这个问题。
14. 答案:C
解析:作者认为自己之所以停下来是因为这是“我们”所有人彼此之间合同的一部分,它不仅仅是“法律”,而且是“我们”达成的协定。此外,第17空后面的law也是线索提示。
15. 答案:A
解析:“我们”彼此信任对方会“执行”这一协定:“我们”不闯红灯。honor表示“信守,执行”,符合语境。
16. 答案:A
解析:像“我们”中的大多数人一样,作者更可能被社会惯例“制止”做被其认为是不好的事情。后三项分别表示“保护”“拒绝”“害怕”,均不符合语境。
17. 答案:D
解析:相对于被法律制止做些不正确的事,作者更倾向于被社会惯例制止住。disapprove of“不赞成”。前三项分别表示“谈及”“支持”“吸收”,均不符合语境。
18. 答案:B
解析:“我们”总是彼此“信任(trust)”对方去做正确的事情,这非常令人惊奇。此外,第15空前面的trust以及第19空前面的trust都是线索提示。
19. 答案:B
解析:作者强调彼此之间应该互相信任,这是“我们”的第一选择。
20.
答案:D
解析:作者通过深思感悟到当时的行为非常正确,为那天晚上没有闯红灯感到无比“自豪”。
B
1. 答案:B
解析:从下文第11空后的counter可知,此处表示“收银台”,故选B项。
2. 答案:C
解析:她向我买的报纸瞥了一眼(glanced)说:“我早就厌烦了(tired of)头版那些消极的消息了,我想读些好(good)消息,换换口味。”这里glance at是固定词组,表示“对……看一眼,瞥见”。
3. 答案:A
解析:根据下文说“想换换口味”可知,这里应是指已经厌倦了现在的头版消息。
4. 答案:B
解析:参见第2题解析。这里表达的意思应该与negative相反,所以选good,也可从第6空后的a good news newspaper得到提示。
5. 答案:A
解析:实际上(In fact),“我”认为人们应该出版(publish)一种只有好消息的报纸。
