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.
【C12】
选项 A、flakes
B、flocks
C、chips
D、cakes
答案C
解析 名词辨析。空格处填入的名词作定语修饰ice。flake意为“小薄片”，修饰snow时指“雪花”；flock一般指“(羊或鸟)群”或“一大群(人)”；chip意为“碎屑，碎片，碎渣”；cake作名词时指“蛋糕或饼状食物”，作动词时意为“覆盖”。从下文可知，车轮子下溅出来的应是“雪、泥(slush)和碎冰碴”，因此C项最符合文意。
