28、er（分数：0.50）A.B.C. D.解析：解析 本题可参照本文第一句话，在 motorway 上丧生或受伤的可能性比其他路上要小得多。注意less 已经是比较级形式了，前面加 much 表示程度的加强。(3). A. another B. other C. one D. the other（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D. 解析：解析 此处应是承接上面的 Mile for mileon an ordinary road，所以应该是 on the other hand 而非 on one hand。(4). A. come up B. occur C. be found D. arise（分
29、数：0.50）A.B. C.D.解析：解析 come up 的意思是“走上前来，发芽，提出”；occur 的意思是“发生”，为不及物动词；be found 的意思是“被发现”；arise 的意思是“出现，起因于”；根据本句意思应该选 occur。(5). A. everywhere B. elsewhere C. anywhere D. somewhere（分数：0.50）A.B.

30、sharp。motorway 上没有急剧的转弯。(7). A. thus B. then C. so D. thereupon（分数：0.50）A. B.C.D.解析：解析 此处意为“由于 motorway 上没有急剧的转弯，没有环岛也没有交通灯，因此行车速度比其他路上要快出很多”。四个选项都可表示“因此”，但因为前面有 and，只能选 A。(8). A. yet B. even C. still D. subsequently（分数：0.50）A.B.C. D.解析：解析 因为前面有 though，后面跟着 it is oftenin Britain，所以此处选 still。(9). A.

A. to B. from C. at D. for（分数：0.50）A.B.C. D.解析：解析 此处是表示“以多高的时速行驶”，应用介词 at。(14). A. Whatever B. However C. Whoever
33、 D. How（分数：0.50）A.B. C.D.解析：解析 此处意为“不论路面有多湿，也不论雾中的能见度如何”。应选 B 项。(15). A. push B. rake C. till D. plough（分数：0.50）A. B.C.D.解析：解析 此处意为“他们以很高的速度前进”。push 的意思是“推进，往前挤”，用来表示车的加速前进。rake 的意思是“倾斜，用耙子耙”；till 的意思是“耕种”；plough 的意思是“耕，犁，费力穿过，艰苦前进”。只有 A 项为正确答案。(16). A. unless B. before C. thus D. until（分数：0.50）A.B.
34、C.D. 解析：解析 此处意为“他们以很高的速度前进，不顾警察的警告或时速限制，直到他们的行程告一段落”。本句中有隐含的 notuntil结构，因此应选 D 项。(17). A. to B. for C. of D. on（分数：0.50）A.B. C.D.解析：解析 本题考查的是短语 remedy for sth.。如：Warmth is the best remedy for colds(热疗是治感冒的最好方法。)(18). A. from B. against C. away D. off（分数：0.50）A. B.C.D.解析：解析 本题考查的是固定搭配 bar from，意思是“禁止
