问题      It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol  and  the quick  pace of modern  life, but manners on the roads are becoming horrible. Every body knows that the【C1】______ men become monsters behind the wheel. You might tolerate the odd road hog (乱开车的司机), the rude and【C2】______ driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the【C3】______ to the rule. Perhaps the situation calls for a "Be Kind to Other Drivers" campaign,【C4】______ it may get completely out of hand.
     Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed and good-tempered of drivers to【C5】______ the temptation to revenge when subjected【C6】______  uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the【C7】______ of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in【C8】______ to an act of politeness helps to create a(n)【C9】______ of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of politeness are all too【C10】______ today. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
    【C11】______ , misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who brakesv  【C12】______ to allow a car to emerge from a side street at some【C13】______ to following traffic, when a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway; or the man who waves a child across a zebra crossing into the【C14】______ of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to.
     A veteran driver,【C15】______ manners are faultless, told me it would help【C16】______   motorists learnt to filter correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages that give rise to bad tem per.【C17】______ , modern motorists can’t even learn to drive, let【C18】______ master the subtler aspects of roads manship. Years ago the experts warned us that the car-ownership【C19】______ would demand a lot more give and-take from all road users, It is【C20】______ time for all of us to take this message to heart.      
【C8】
选项 A、defense
B、response
C、obedience
D、reference
答案B
解析 语义逻辑题。nod(点头)和wave(挥手)都是友善之举，刚好回应后面的act of politeness(礼貌行为)，故选 response，in response to意为“对……做出反应”。defense“抵御”；obedience“服从”；reference“参考”。
