　　Rural Ireland was recommended as a friendly place for hitching, __7__ was Quebec, Canada – “if you don’t mind being berated for not speaking French”. But while hitchhiking was clearly still alive and well in many parts of the world, the __8__ feeling was that throughout much of the west it was doomed.

But do we __9__ to be so wary both to hitch and to give a lift? In Poland in 1960s, __10__ a Polish woman who e-mailed me, “the authorities introduced the Hitchhiker’s Booklet. The booklet contained coupons for divers, so each time a driver __11__ (who had picked)up somebody, he or she received a coupon.
　　At the end of the season, __12__ who had picked up the most hikers were rewarded with various prizes. Everybody was hitchhiking then. ” Surely this is a good idea for society?

　　1. A. made B. took C. traveled D. crossed
　　2.A. in B. over C. at D. on
　　3. A. when B. after C. before D. if
　　4.A. the books B. them C. it D. the songs
　　5. A. Hundreds B. Hundred C. Thousand D. Dozen
　　标准答案： B,D,A,C,A
　　解析：Hitchhiking(免费搭车旅行)
　　When(在…时候) I was in my teens(十多岁) and 20s, hitchhiking was a main(主要的) form (形式)of long-distance(长途) transport(运输). The kindness (善良)or curiosity(好奇) of strangers(陌生人) __ me all over(遍及) Europe(欧洲), North America(北美), Asia(亚洲) and Southern Africa(南非).
　　1. B. made(制造, 使成为, 产生, 获得, 构成) B. took (带走， 取, 抓, 占领)C. traveled(旅行) D. crossed(使交叉, 横渡，越过)
　　Some of the lift-givers(搭载的司机) became(变成) friends(朋友), many provided(提供) hospitality(好客，盛情) __2__ the road.
　　2.A. in B. over C. at D. on
　　On the street/road在道路上
　　(倒装)Not only (不仅)did you find out (发现，想出)much more about a country (国家)than __3__ traveling by train(乘火车) or plane(乘飞机), but there was (有)that element (成分， 元素)of excitement about (对…的兴奋)where(在哪里) you would finish up(结束， 完成) that night.
　　3. A. when B. after (在…之后) C. before(在…之前) D. if (如果)
　　空格后面出现动名词结构， 因此首先排除D(if 后不能直接跟动名词结构， if可以形成一些固定搭配的省略结构， 如： if not, if so, if possible等)。When, before, after都可用作介词，其后面都可以带名词性的结构作宾语， 空格所在的局部结构说“同…乘坐飞机或火车旅行相比， 你能了解到更多”， 结合文章主题“hitchhiking/搭便车旅游”， 该句很可能是把“搭便车旅游”和“乘火车或飞机旅行”进行比较， 显然when(当…的时候)放入句子中句意最通顺。
　　Hitchhiking featured(作为…的特征) importantly in Western(西方的) culture(文化). It has books(书籍) and songs(歌曲) about it. So what has happened(发生) to __4__?
　　4.A. the books B. them C. it D. the songs
　　空格所在的句子的前面一句中既出现了books， 又出现了songs, 借助推理判断：如果A是答案， 则D也应该是答案， 因此这两个选项彼此排除掉;剩下的选项都是代词， 因此确认该题考点 – 考察代词指代内容，再次借助推理：如果B(them)是答案， 则them 指代前句中的books and songs，因此空格所在句子的句意为“这些书籍和歌曲发生了什么? ”下文中并没有再提到“books and songs”， 提到的还是hitchhiking(搭便车旅游), 因此B不正确， 答案为C(it指代前文中的hitchhiking， 并与后文中的hitchhiking呼应)。
　　A few years ago(以前), I asked(询问, 要求) the same question (问题)about hitching(搭乘) in a column(专栏， 柱状物) in a newspaper(报纸). __5__ of people (人)from all over the world (全世界)responded with (以…做出回应)their view (观点)on the state(状态， 情况) of hitchhiking.
　　5. A. Hundreds B. Hundred C. Thousand D. Dozen(一打，十二个)
　　hundreds of…数以百计的
　　thousands of….数以千计的
　　hundreds of thousands of 几十万, 无数的
　　millions of…数以百万计的
　　dozens of…许多的
　　“If there is (有)a hitchhiker’s __6__ it must be Iran(伊朗),” came one reply(回复，答复).
　　6. A. sky B. space C. map D. heaven
　　7. A. like B. as C. for D. since
　　8. A. big B. large C. general D. little
　　9. A. have to B. must C. should D. need
　　10. A. according to B. owing to C. due to D. with respect to
　　标准答案： D,B,C,D,A
　　解析：6. A. sky(天空) B. space(空间) C. map(地图) D. heaven(天堂)
　　Rural(向下的) Ireland(爱尔兰) was recommended as (被推荐作为)a friendly (友好的)place for(适合于) hitching, __7__ was Quebec(魁北克), Canada – “if you don’t mind(介意) being berated (严厉指责)for (因为)not speaking(讲， 说) French(法语)”.
　　7. A. like(喜欢，象) B. as(与…一样， 作为，因为， 当…的时候) C. for(因为， 对于， 适合与，为了) D. since(自从， 以后， 既然)
　　空格处的词语需要在它所在的从句中充当句子主语，因此首先排除C和D(它们在句子中只能充当状语)
　　该题考查一个习惯搭配结构：as is/was/does/did/has + sb./…也一样
　　因此B是答案。 该句说“爱尔兰的乡村被推荐作为适合搭车旅行的地方， 加拿大的魁北克也是这样(也被推荐作为适合搭车旅行的地方)”。
　　But while (虽然)hitchhiking was clearly (明显地)still alive(活着的， 仍然存在的) and well (健康的，良好的， 满意地， 从分地)in many parts(地方， 部分) of the world, the __8__ feeling(感觉) was that throughout(遍及) much of the west(西方，西方的) it was doomed (灭亡)
　　8. A. big(大的， 重大的) B. large(大的，巨大的) C. general (通常的，概括的， 全面的) D. little(很少的， 短暂的， 很少， 少许)
　　被选项中能与feeling 搭配的词只有general (通常的)
　　With(因为， 用，与…一致) so much news(新闻) about crime(犯罪) in the media(媒体), people assumed(认为，假定) that anyone(任何人) on the open(开阔的， 营业的， 坦率的) road without the money for(为了) even a bus ticket(票) must present(造成，介绍， 赠送， 礼物， 现在的) a danger(危险). But do we __9__ to be so wary(谨慎的) both to hitch and to give a lift(让他人免费搭车)?
　　9. A. have to B. must C. should D. need
　　空格后出现了不定式符号to， 被选项中能出现不定式符号的只有D (need to do…/需要…)
　　In Poland(波兰) in 1960s, __10__ a Polish woman(妇女) who e-mailed(发电子邮件l) me, “the authorities(权威机构， 权威) introduced(介绍， 引进) the Hitchhiker’s Booklet(小册子).
　　10. A. according to (根据)B. owing to(由于)
　　C. due to (由于) D. with respect to (至于， 关于)
　　B和C是词义接近的介词短语结构， 含义均为“因为”， 因此相互排除掉。 A(根据， 根据…的说法)放入空格中句意通顺((根据)一个波兰妇女通过email告诉我“政府推出了搭便车旅行者使用的小册子”)， 因此A是答案。
　　The booklet contained(包括，包含 ) coupons(优惠券) for divers(司机), so each time (每次)a driver __11__ up somebody(某人， 重要人物), he or she received(收到，接见，遭到) a coupon(优惠券).
　　11. A. sent B. picked C. collected D. helped
　　12. A. passengers B. hikers C. drivers D. strangers
　　13. A. fences B. barriers C. gaps D. walls
　　14. A. global B. world C. entire D. whole
　　15. A. discussions B. debates C. consultations D. lessons
　　标准答案： B,C,B,A,D
　　解析：11. A. sent(送, 寄, 发送) B. picked(摘, 挑选) C. collected(收集，聚集) D. helped(帮助)
　　能与up搭配使用的只有A和B， 文章主题涉及“免费搭车”， 因此推测B是答案(“pick up somebody/在路上搭人”与文章主题呼应)。
　　send up v. 使上升，使升高, 长出来源：和谐英语
　　pick up: 在路上搭(人)， 接(人)， 捡起, 使恢复精神, 加速
　　提示：被选项中的词语直接或间接与文章主题呼应， 则该被选项通常就应该是答案。
　　At the end of (在…结束的时候)the season(季节), __12__ who had picked up the most hikers were rewarded with (被奖励了…)various(各种各样的) prizes(奖品， 奖金). Everybody(每个人) was hitchhiking then(那时， 那么， 然后). ”
　　12. A. passengers (乘客) B. hikers C. drivers D. strangers(陌生人)
　　根据空格后面的定语从句(搭乘徒步旅行者人数最多的…)， 判断C(司机)是答案。
　　Surely (的确， 安全地)this is a good(好的) idea for society(社会， 协会)? Hitchhiking would increase(增加) respect (尊敬)by breaking down(毁掉， 停顿) __13__ between strangers(陌生人).
　　13. A. fences B. barriers C. gaps D. walls
　　空格所在的局部结构说“推倒陌生人之间的….”， gap(差距， 裂口) 不能被“推倒”， 因此首先排除C; 该句说“免费搭车旅行能通过推倒陌生人之间的…而增加(他们之间的相互)尊重”， 相比A(栅栏)和D(墙壁)， B(障碍)能用于指各种有形和无形“障碍/阻碍”， 放入空格中更合适。
　　It would help(帮助) fight(战胜) __14__ warming by cutting down on (减少)fuel(燃料， 提供燃料) consumption(消耗) as hitchhikers would be using(使用) existing(现存的) fuel(燃料).
　　14. A. global (全球的) B. world(世界) C. entire(整个的，全部的) D. whole(完整的， 全部的)
