On learning this, the man drove away as quickly as possible. After an hour"s    10  driving, he arrived safely in London, where he parked his car outside a    11   and went in.

解析

试题分析:本文讲述了一个人的后车轮附近藏着一只蜂王,导致一群蜜蜂追随它的汽车的故事。最后他给养蜂人打电话,让他把蜜蜂给取走了。
小题1:考查名词。connection连接; difference不同; communication 交流,通讯; similarity相似。这里指的是人与昆虫的区别,注意下文提到的the former(前者)和the latter(后者)是在对两者的不同作比较。故选B。
小题2:考查名词。passengers乘客; insects昆虫; former前者; first第一。根据下文the latter quickly,所以与它相对应,故选C。
小题3:考查动词。give给; keep保持; pay花费; draw attention 引起注意。句中的while 表对比。前面说偷乘车辆或船只的人通常都会尽量不让人发现,而“偷”乘车辆或船只的昆虫则不同,怎么个不同?那就是它们会draw attention (引起注意)。故选D。
小题4:考查形容词。unfortunate不幸的; careless粗心的; unpleasant讨厌的,令人不快的; hopeless没有希望的。根据下文可知,这个人很不走运。故选A。
小题5:考查名词。front前面; back后面; left左边; right右边。根据文章最后一段倒数第2句He found the unwelcome passenger hidden near the wheels at the back. of the car 可知,此处应填 back。故选B。
小题6:考查动词。drive开始; continue继续; push推; forc强迫。既然通过检查没有发现什么问题,所以他就继续(continue)赶路。故选B。
小题7:考查副词。normally正常地; gently轻轻地; quietly安静地; immediately立刻。由于是一种奇怪的声音,并且他几次下车查看,说明这种声音不算normally;又由于后面说…became even louder,说明它不gently;actually 在此不合语境。故选D,指车一开动,又马上出现了那种声音。故选D。
小题8:考查形容词。black黑色的; beautiful漂亮的; white 白的; colorful彩色的。根据下文可知,跟在车后的是一群蜜蜂,作者把它形容成一团乌云,故用black。故选 A。
小题9:考查介词。below在……下面; ahead向前; nearby在附近; behind在后面。
根据上下文语境可知,这群蜜蜂不是在车底,是在附近,也不是前面,也不是在车后面。故选C。
小题10:考查形容词。boring烦人的; careful仔细的; exciting令人高兴的;  hard难的。司机尽量把车开快希望能甩掉其后的蜜蜂,这样的的驾驶肯定很hard。故选D。
小题11:考查名词。hotel旅馆; museum历史博物馆; hospital医院; school学校。根据下文提到a customer 可排除B、C、D。故选A。
小题12:考查动词。break打破; move移动; hurry匆忙; drop下降。因为这位看见他停车的顾客发现他的车上满是蜜蜂,所以就匆忙匆忙(hurried)进来告诉他。故选C。
小题13:考查形容词。be crowded with 挤满了……;be covered with 被……所覆盖;be filled with装满……;be equipped with 由……所装备。根据语境,只有B较合适。故选B。
小题14:考查动词。advis建议; require要求; order命令; request请求。advise sb that… 意为“建议某人……”,此处用的是该结构的被动式,其意为“有人建议他……”。故选A。
小题15:考查名词。bee-keeper养蜂人; policeman警察;waiter服务员;repairman修理工。要对付这批蜜蜂,显然只有bee-keeper(养蜂人)最合适。故选A。
点评:完形填空所用的短文一般不给标题,但短文的主题句,往往在每段文章的首句,有时也出现在文章的中间或结束处。主题句提供全篇的性质、大意等,这是深入了解全文的“窗口”,甚至能以语句为立足点,从该句的时态、语气推测全文的主要内容。

试题【Hidden passengers traveling in ships, trams, or even cars can be a terrible trou】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
The day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting moments for all the children in the class. It took place during the first week of the term. Every kid was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.
Some jobs were more interesting than others, and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones. When giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year. During the previous year Rita had carried out the teacher’s instructions perfectly. All the children knew Rita would be given the best job.
But there was a big surprise. Each child received a normal job. But Rita’s job was very different. She was given a little box containing some sand and one ant. Though the teacher insisted that this ant was very special, Rita felt disappointed. Most of her classmates felt sorry for her. Even her father became very angry with the teacher and he encouraged Rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet. However, Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing something special with that job of little interest.
Rita started investigating all about her little ant and gave the ant the best food, and it grew quite a bit bigger.
One day, a man, who looked very important, came into their classroom and declared, “Your class has been chosen to accompany me, this summer, on a journey to the tropical rain forest, where we will investigate all kinds of insects. Among all the schools of this region, your class has best cared for the little ant.”
That day the school was filled with joy and celebration. Everyone thanked Rita for having been so patient and responsible. And many children learnt that to be given the most important task you have to know how to be responsible even in what are the smallest tasks.
小题1:What did the teacher base his decision on when giving out jobs to the children?
A.Their characters and interests.
B.Their class performance during the previous year.
C.Their working performance during the previous year.
D.Their ability of managing their accounts during the previous year.
小题2:What does the underlined sentence mean?
A.Each child got an important job.
B.Each child got an interesting job.
C.The perfect student got the job of everyone’s preference.
D.The most responsible student got the job of least interest.
小题3:What is Rita’s attitude to her father’s suggestion?
A.Negative.B.Uncertain.C.Totally positive.D.Acceptive.
小题4:We can infer that the man who made the declaration is a _________.
A.hunterB.directorC.biologistD.principal
小题5:What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Never complain about life.
B.Small tasks can lead to fortunes.
C.Men are best known by their friends.
D.Responsibility and intelligence bring good luck.

At Blossom End Railroad Station, 22-year-old Stanley Vine sat, waiting for his new employer. The surrounding green fields were so unlike the muddy landscape of war-torn France. After four horrible years as an army private fighting in Europe, Stanley had returned to England in February 1946. Armed now with some savings and with no prospects for a job in England, he answered a newspaper ad for farm help in Canada. Two months later he was on his way.
When the old car rumbled (发着辘辘声) toward the tiny station, Stanley rose to his feet, trying to make the most of his five foot and four inches frame. The farmer, Alphonse Lapine, shook his head and complained, “You’re a skinny thing.” On the way to his dairy farm, Alphonse explained that he had a wife and seven kids. “Money is tight. You’ll get room and board. You’ll get up at dawn for milking, and then help me around the farm until evening milking time again. Ten dollars a week. Sundays off.” Stanley nodded. He had never been on a farm before, but he took the job.
From the beginning Stanley was treated horribly by the whole family. They made fun of the way he dressed and talked. He could do nothing right. The humourless farmer frequently lost his temper, criticizing Stanley for the slightest mistake. The oldest son, 13-year-old Armand, constantly played tricks on him. But the kind-hearted Stanley never responded.
Stanley never became part of the Lapine family. After work, they ignored him. He spend his nights alone in a tiny bedroom. However, each evening before retiring, he lovingly cared for the farmer’s horses, eagerly awaiting him at the field gate. He called them his gentle giants. On Saturday nights he hitch-hiked into the nearest town and wandered the streets or enjoyed a restaurant meal before returning to the farm.
Early one November morning Alphonse Lapine discovered that Stanley had disappeared, after only six months as his farmhand. The railway station master, when questioned later that week, said he had not seen him. In fact no one in the community ever heard of him again. That is, until one evening, almost 20 years later, when Armand, opened an American sports magazine and came across a shocking headline, “Millionaire jockey (赛马骑师), Stanley Vine, ex-British soldier and 5-time horse riding champion, began life in North America as a farmhand in Canada.”
小题1:Stanley Vine decided to go to Canada because ___________.
A.he wanted to escape from war-torn France
B.he wanted to serve in the Canadian army
C.he couldn’t find a job in England
D.he loved working as a farmhand
小题2:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Stanley joined the French army when he was 18 years old.
B.On the farm Stanley had to milk the cows 14 times a week.
C.The Lapine family were very rich but cruel to Stanley.
D.Stanely read about the job offer in a newspaper.
小题3:What did Stanley like doing after work each day?
A.Hitch-hiking to different towns.
B.Caring for the farmer’s horses.
C.Wandering around the farm alone.
D.Preparing meals on the farm.
小题4:Why was Armand so astonished when he read about Stanley in the magazine?
A.He didn’t know Stanley had been a British soldier.
B.He had no idea Stanley had always been a wealthy man.
C.He didn’t know his father paid Stanley so little money.
D.He didn’t expect Stanley to become such a success.

I live in a very over populated beach area in the Los Angeles, and I love the beautiful scenery! But because of many people, lots of things are easy to be out of order, and sometimes it’s also easy to lose your cool. Today was a day I wish I did not get out of bed. I mean that if I did not have to wake up and deal with all the things that I deal with on a daily basis, it would have been wonderful.
I had a cup of coffee this morning and that was my meal for breakfast, not healthy I know. Anyway, my stomach was sounding like a truck. So, I jumped in my car and decided to buy some food.
I was in line at Taco Bell (一家墨西哥速食店) and the line was like a long snake! Finally I got to place my order, but a young girl in nice clothes pulled in and was stuck in such a way that unless I moved for her, she wouldn’t be able to get out. So I backed up and waved her into my place in the front of the line.
To my surprise, this young girl did not say thanks. I was cool with it because I thought that I had done something nice for a change. After the girl received her food and pulled away, I pulled into the ordering spot, not mad, but hungry, and the employee said, “Hi, that girl just paid for your food.”
That food was the most satisfying nourishment (营养品) my body had ever taken! If just by chance you are that person who bought my food, I should say “Thank you!”
