【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
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。
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”。
5应该选“behind”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。
6应该选“follow”,“take”和“move”的意思放在这里都不对。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
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。
8处应该选kind,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。,因此是
9选“laughed”,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
10选“how”,这个时候,主人公恍然大悟,明白为什么警察开车到这里了.
