问题     Driving through snowstorm on icy roads for long distances is a most nerve-racking experience. It is a paradox that the snow, coming【C1】______ gently, blowing gleefully in a high wind, all the while【C2】______ down a treacherous carpet, freezes the windows,【C3】______ the view. The might of automated man is【C4】______ . The horses, the powerful electrical systems, the deep-tread tires, all go【C5】______ nothing. One minute the road feels【C6】______ , and the next the driver is sliding over it, light as a【C7】______ , in a panic, wondering what the heavy trailer trucks coming up【C8】______ the rear are going to do. The trucks are like【C9】______ when you have to pass them, not at sixty or seventy【C10】______ you do when the road is dry, but at twenty-five and thirty.
    【C11】______ their engines sound unnaturally loud. Snow, slush and【C12】______ of ice spray from beneath the wheels, obscure the windshield, and rattle【C13】______ your car. Beneath the wheels there is plenty of 【C14】______ for you to slide and get mashed to a pulp. Inch【C15】______ inch you move up, past the rear wheels, the center wheels, the cab, the front wheels, all【C16】______ too slowly by. Straight ahead you continue, 【C17】______ to cut over sharply would send you into a slip,【C18】______ in front of the vehicle. At last, there is 【C19】______ enough, and you creep back over, in front of the truck now, but【C20】______ the sound of its engine still thundering in your ears.
【C16】

选项 A、climbing
B、crawling
C、winding
D、sliding

答案D

解析 动词辨析。空格处填入现在分词作句子状语,其逻辑主语是you。climb一般指“(向上)攀登,(吃力地向某处)爬”;crawl指“(向前,身体接近地面的)爬行”;wind作不及物动词时,意为“(路,河等)蜿蜒,曲折而行”;slide指“滑行,滑动"。根据句意,你(驾驶者)缓慢地从大卡车旁往前开,由于路面滑,只能是“慢慢地滑过”,因此D项为正确答案。
