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.
【C17】
选项 A、meanwhile
B、unless
C、whereas
D、for
答案D
解析 逻辑词辨析。空格前后是两个独立的分句，因此空格处需要填入一个连词。meanwhile为副词，意为“同时”，放在句首时要么另起一句，要么与前一句用分号隔开，meanwhile首先排除。其他几个词都可作连词，unless意为“除非”；whereas常用于比较或对比两个事实，意为“然而，但是，尽管”；for意为“因为”。根据句意，空格前后两个分句之间是因果关系，即“你(驾驶者)继续笔直地往前开，因为突然超车抢道到卡车前面(cut over sharply)会使你的车滑倒”，因此D项为正确答案。
