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 Id stopped for that light _13_ me.I think I stopped because its part of a contract（合同）we all have with each other.Its not only the _14_，but its an arrangement we have，and we trust each other to _15_ it：we dont go through red lights.Like most of us，Im more likely to be _16_ from doing something bad by the social convention that _17_ it than by any law against it.Its amazing that we ever _18_ each other to do the right thing，isnt 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 Dlength2Athinking

专题升级训练十一完形填空（三）A1B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。2B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。3C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。4D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。5B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。6C当“靠近（approached）”交通灯时，灯变成了红色，作者于是踩了刹车。7B作者坐在那里，等待交通灯“变成”绿色。8D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。9A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。10B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。11A由于当时周围没有人，闯红灯当然不会有“危险”。12A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。13B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。14C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。15A“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。16A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。17D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。18B“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。19B作者强调彼此之间应该互相信任，这是“我们”的第一选择。20D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”。B1B从下文第11空后的counter可知，此处表示“收银台”，故选B项。2C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”。3A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。4B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。5A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。6D参见第5题解析。7A报纸上讲些美好的、鼓舞人心的故事，讲述人们如何克服困难这里用stories表示“故事，事情”，选A项。8B这位女收银员对“我”能够光顾她们的便利店表示了感谢，所以用thanked。9C从上下文可知，“我们”告别的时候，彼此都很高兴，所以她应该是“笑着”跟我说再见的，用laughed。10A第二天，“我”又顺路经过这家店。drop by表示“顺便经过”，stand by表示“站在旁边”，bring in表示“引进”，take in表示“欺骗，让进入”，根据语意选A项。11B从上下文可知，这次的收银员不是上次的那位，用different。12C作者买了报纸和水后，付钱给收银员，所以用handed，表示“交给”。13A但这位收银员什么也没说，微笑也没有，甚至连一个手势都没有。所以根据上下文，该空用gesture，表示“手势，姿势”。14Din a negative tone表示“用消极的语调”，故选D项。15B从上下文可知，这让作者非常震撼。此处hit表示“使某人突然意识到并感到惊讶”。16A从上文可知，第一位收银员让作者感觉非常好，所以用great，但第二位收银员给作者的感觉好像是作者的出现（showing up）给她带来了很多麻烦和不便。17C参见第16题解析。move on“向前进，继续”，go away“走开”，show off “炫耀”，都与语境不符。18C从上下文可知，你每天早上都要问问自己，所以用反身代词yourself。19B从语境可知，这将极大地决定（determining）你人生（life）中要经历的幸福和快乐。determine“决定”。create“创造”，share “分享”，form“形成”，这三项都与语境不符。20D参见第19题解析。C1D这是一个常识题，即能够过小溪而不湿鞋或脚。A、B和C三项虽然符合语法，但却不合常理。2C工程师正在想一个办法，所以用way，且“to get automobiles across the river without getting their wheels wet”是不定式短语作该词的定语。road “马路”；route“路线”；way“方式，方法，办法”；course“河道，航线，过程”。3B前文交代了the young fisherman和the engineer这两者提出的问题，所以选择both“两者，两者都”。4Atake long“花费很长时间”；根据后文的“just place a board across the little stream”可知，渔夫的桥不会花很长时间就能建成。5A“have it”在此的意思是“达到目的，实现”。此句补全意为“只要在小溪放一块木板就搞定了”。6D因为是人要过小溪，所以这个临时木板桥只要够结实，只要渔夫不那么重，一切就没有问题，所以此处要选D项，weigh“称重”。7C根据上下文内容可知应该选择C项，“设计，策划”。8B前文问：那位工程师会计划做同样的桥吗？此空所在的句子：你知道他不会这样做的。根据下文可知应该选择B项。9D两个人，一个人要徒步过小溪，另一个是乘车过河，所以此处应该选择D项，就是说“车比人重得多”。10A河流与小溪比较，应该是宽得多，所以A项正确。如果选择B项，则表示小溪本身很深，才会说河流更深。再结合下文“A long wood bridge just wont.”这部分，更是表明这里讨论的是河流和溪水的宽度。11Ado在此的意思是“够用，足够”，为不及物动词，补全后句意为：长的木桥还不够。make需和it搭配意为“成功”；pass意为“通过”时是及物动词；arise“产生”，不合逻辑。12C根据空后面的“and break under its own weight”可知答案为C项。it指前面的a long wood bridge。因为木桥不够结实，那么在自身的重力下就会变弯曲甚至是断掉。13B渔夫的问题很容易解决，但是工程师的就不那么简单了。根据句意可知答案为B项。14C四个选项中只有C项feel是系动词，后面可以接形容词作表语。句意：别为工程师感到难过。15D根据后面的“the very beginning”可知，此处用D项，start from the very beginning “从一开始”。16B根据上下文可知此处应该选B项，即“每座桥都要适合其特殊目的”。be suited to“适合”。17A后面的“nearby”指的是前面“河流的附近”，据此可知此处应该用A项，即“河附近的陆地”。18D根据前面的“choose the type best suited to the river”可知应该选择D项，意思是“要选择更合适的桥”。19C该句主语“they”指的是前面“用纸板做的桥”，后面的宾语为“fiveton truck”，据此应该选择C项，即这个桥不能承受5吨的卡车。20BA项“用途，用处”；B项“想法，主意，观点”；C项“尝试，企图”；D项“因素”。句意：但是你可以通过多做一些实验来弄清桥梁设计的一些主要思想。根据句意可知B项符合。
