33、rtantly DdramaticallyA这么害怕冒险的人,竟然通过了驾驶考试,这让他感到吃惊。3A.wander BspreadCdrive DgetC通过驾驶考试就想开车到比较远的地方,因此该空应选drive“开车,驾驶”。4A.useful BimpossibleCpractical DinvisibleB下文作者的经历说明,鼓足勇气尝试走新的公路对作者来说几乎是不可能的。5A.amazed BpuzzledClost DtouchedC本句中的“going round in circles”说明,作者迷路了。6A.refused BrepliedChoped DvowedD因为迷路,
34、所以最终找到回家的路时,作者发誓这是最后的冒险行动。7A.stuck to Breferred toCadded to Dreached toA上文中的“this was the end of the adventurous life”暗示着作者以后只走自己熟悉的路。stick to“遵守,坚持”。8A.persuaded BorderedCsuggested DadvisedD下文表明,作者没有接受朋友的建议,故排除A项,C项不能接不定式,order语气太强硬。故选D项。9A.heavy BlightCslow DsafeB因为是周末,路上的车辆少,因此该空填light“少量的,程度轻的”。
35、10A.glared BglancedCstared DpeeredC本句中的“with horror”暗示作者听到这个建议时感到不能接受,不可思议地盯着对方。glance at“匆匆一看,一瞥”;glare at“怒目而视”;stare at“盯着看,凝视”;peer at“仔细看,端详”。根据语境可知选C。11A.use BspareCdevote DwasteD本句中的“to raise my blood pressure”是结果状语,作者不想浪费好好的周末时间,结果使自己血压升高。12A.In short BOf courseCIn case DOf allB当然,作者选择了后者。13

37、租车”,符合语境。16A.dreams BdiscoveriesCchallenges DchoicesD此处指乘出租车是最好的交通选择之一。17A.until BwhileCbefore DwhenD依据下文的准确地告诉出租车司机目的地可知,当作者坐上出租车时,便有了一种令人难以置信的轻松感。由于“jump”是短暂性动词,故选D项。18A.accurate BignorantCstubborn DconsiderateA上文中的“I am good at that”说明作者能准确地说出要去的地方的位置。19A.map BdesignCroute DcourseC作者向司机师傅描述要走的路线,
38、故选route“路线”。20A.increase BevaluateCextend DminimizeD作者详细地描述要走的路线,为了减少被欺骗的可能性。minimize“把减至最小量”,符合语境。increase“增加”;evaluate“评价”;extend“延伸”。句中的“being taken for a ride”表示“被欺骗”。.阅读理解More than one in four children alive in Britain today will celebrate their 100th birthday,official figures showed.
