    On the way home my wife saw a bookshelf outside a shop. “ 1 it，” she said. “we will 2 it home on the roof-rack. I‘ve always wanted one like that.” Ten minutes 3 we were back with the bookshelf. I drove slowly. Other 4 seemed more polite than usual. The driver even stopped traffic to let us through. After a while my wife said， “There’s a long line of cars 5 . Why don‘t they overtake（超車）？” Just at that time a police car did overtake， and two officers inside asked us to 6 their car through the busy traffic. The police car stopped at the church. One of the officers came to me and said， “Do you need any more 7 now？” I said， “You’ve been very 8 . We live just down the road.” He was looking at the bookshelf. “Oh， he said and 9 ， we thought it was something else.” Suddenly I understood 10 the police drove here.

    「名師精解」解答該題，需要對短文通讀，了解文章的大概意思。本文的大意是我跟妻子買了一個書架放在車頂上運回家，街上的其他司機們都很禮貌的給我們讓路，后來更有警車給我們開路，最后我才恍然明白警察誤以為出了什么事情才來幫我們。了解了大意之后對每個空白和選項進行詳細分析，選出正確答案。因為第一句話說我跟妻子在回家路上在一家商店外面看到一個書架，因此空白1處應該選“buy”，買了之后應該是帶回家，2中carry表示“去取回來”，文中是說在“回家路上…”，意思不對，這里應該填一個動詞，因此C也不對。3處需要把表示時間的短語補充完整，根據后半句的意思“我們帶著書架回家”，肯定是在“說完、買后”，因此應該是“ten minutes later”表示妻子說完的10分鐘后我們就帶著書架回家了。第4處重點考查考生對上下文的把握，后面的一句話說有個司機甚至停下來給我們讓路讓我們過去，因此前面應該是說今天的“司機們”都比平時有禮貌，而不是“警察”或者“清潔工”。看到別人讓路這種不同平常的現象，妻子比較奇怪為什么后面的車不超車上來，因此，5應該選“behind”。正說著，一個警車超車上來并讓我們跟在他們的后面穿過擁擠的交通，因此6應該選“follow”，“take”和“move”的意
