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。
