On the way home my wife saw a bookshelf outside a shop. “ 1 it,” she said. “we will 2 it home on the roof-rack. I’ve always wanted one like that.” Ten minutes 3 we were back with the bookshelf. I drove slowly. Other 4 seemed more polite than usual. The driver even stopped traffic to let us through. After a while my wife said, “There’s a long line of cars 5 . Why don’t they overtake(超车)?” Just at that time a police car did overtake, and two officers inside asked us to 6 their car through the busy traffic. The police car stopped at the church. One of the officers came to me and said, “Do you need any more 7 now?” I said, “You’ve been very 8 . We live just down the road.” He was looking at the bookshelf. “Oh, he said and 9 , we thought it was something else.” Suddenly I understood 10 the police drove here.

【名师精解】解答该题，需要对短文通读，了解文章的大概意思。本文的大意是我跟妻子买了一个书架放在车顶上运回家，街上的其他司机们都很礼貌的给我们让路，后来更有警车给我们开路，最后我才恍然明白警察误以为出了什么事情才来帮我们。了解了大意之后对每个空白和选项进行详细分析，选出正确答案。因为第一句话说我跟妻子在回家路上在一家商店外面看到一个书架，因此空白1处应该选“buy”，买了之后应该是带回家，2中carry表示“去取回来”，文中是说在“回家路上…”，意思不对，这里应该填一个动词，因此C也不对。3处需要把表示时间的短语补充完整，根据后半句的意思“我们带着书架回家”，肯定是在“说完、买后”，因此应该是“ten minutes later”表示妻子说完的10分钟后我们就带着书架回家了。第4处重点考查考生对上下文的把握，后面的一句话说有个司机甚至停下来给我们让路让我们过去，因此前面应该是说今天的“司机们”都比平时有礼貌，而不是“警察”或者“清洁工”。看到别人让路这种不同平常的现象，妻子比较奇怪为什么后面的车不超车上来，因此，5应该选“behind”。正说着，一个警车超车上来并让我们跟在他们的后面穿过拥挤的交通，因此6应该选“follow”，“take”和“move”的意思放在这里都不对。7的三个选项中，应该结合上文“警察给我们带路”是帮助我们，因此是说“还需要帮助”吗？选help。对主人公老说，警察刚才的做法已经非常的“和善，友善”，而不是“礼貌（警车不必要对一般的司机格外礼貌）”或者“聪明”，因此8处应该选kind。然后主人公给警察说就住在这条街，警察意识到他们误解了，因此是9选“laughed”，这个时候，主人公恍然大悟，明白为什么警察开车到这里了，10选“how”。 |
