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 terrible. Everybody knows that the nicest persons become monsters【C1】______the wheels. You might tolerate the odd road monster,the rude and【C2】______driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the【C3】______to the rule. Perhaps the situation calls【C4】______a " Be Kind to Other Drivers" campaign; otherwise it may get【C5】______out of hand.
    Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense, too. It【C6】______the most cool-headed and good-tempered of drivers to【C7】______the temptation to revenge when【C8】______to uncivilized behavior.【C9】______another point of view, a little politeness goes a long way towards【C10】______the tensions of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to create a( n)【C11】______of goodwill and tolerance, which is so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such politeness of acknowledgement is all too rare today. Many drivers don’t even seem able to【C12】______politeness when they see it.
    However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. A(n)【C13】______example is the drivers who wave a child across a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to【C14】______in time.
    A(n)【C15】______driver,whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists learnt to filter correctly into traffic streams one at a【C16】______without causing the total blockage that give【C17】______to bad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists can’t even learn to drive,let alone to be【C18】______in the subtler aspects of boatmanship. Years ago the experts【C19】______us that the car-ownership explosion would demand a lot more take-and-give on the part of all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to【C20】______.
【C2】
选项 A、competent
B、considerable
C、inconsiderate
D、graceful
答案C
解析 形容词辨义。本句意为“你也许会容忍个别横冲直撞的讨厌司机”。由前面提到的rude可知，此处应填入一个与其意义相当的贬义词，故C)inconsiderate“不替别人着想的，不顾及别人的”符合题意。A)competent“有能力的”、B)considerable“重要的，值得考虑的”、D)graceful“优雅的”均不符合题意。
