困惑： 易错题（41题）
分析： 本题的易错选项是A项，属于“词汇理解有误”的错误类型。A项walking意为“行走”，B项touring 和C项traveling意为“旅游”，D项rushing意为“冲，奔”。同学们会发现，B、C和D项代入文章后均不符合文意，所以很多同学会选择A项，“拉里给他的一个顾客送完货以后，正沿着I65公路向北走着”。但是，文章第一句提到拉里所在的公司是运输司机公司，由此可知拉里是“开车”送货的，可以排除A项。出题人设置这道题的真正目的其实是考查travel的熟词生义。travel在词典中的一个释义为to go a particular distance or at a particular speed，中文意思为“走过（某距离）；（以某速度）行进”。因此，41题所在句意为“2009年的一个早晨，拉里给他的一位顾客送完货以后，正沿着I65公路向北行驶着”，所以C项为正确答案。
Suddenly, he saw a car with its bright lights on. (43) As he got closer, he found (44) another vehicle upside down on the road. One more look and he noticed (45) flames shooting out from under the (46) disabled vehicle.
困惑： 易错题（44题、46题）
分析： 44题的易错选项是C项，属于“忽略上下文提示”的错误类型。同学们第一眼看到空格后的vehicle，会认为此处的vehicle指的就是前一句的a car，所以误认为“翻倒在路面上的车”就是前文“亮着车灯的车”。但是，同学们看到第二段时，就能发现文中出现了两辆车，车灯亮着的那辆车属于一个男人，他也是随后和拉里一起参与救援的人，翻倒在路上的这辆车属于那个被困女性。因此，可以推断，拉里靠近后看到了“另一辆”车，故答案应为B项。
46题的易错选项是D项，属于“忽略上下文提示”的错误类型。同学们在看到46题的选项时，会有一种莫名的自信。他们会认为考查这道题的目的就是单词的词义，看到前文“车翻倒在路上”，直接就认定烟从这辆“被遗弃的车”的底部冒出来。但是，同学们看到第二段会发现a woman’s voice coming from the wrecked vehicle（一位女士的声音从毁坏的车里传出来），根据vehicle前面的形容词wrecked，可以判断那辆冒烟的车并非被遗弃，而是“坏的，出故障的”，故答案应为B项。
They told her to stay (52) still until the emergency personnel arrived, (53) but she thought the car was going to (54) explode .
困惑： 易错题（52题）
分析： 52题的易错选项是D项，属于“忽略上下文提示”及“忽略词汇意思”的错误类型。同学们看这道题的时候特别容易主观臆断，认为这两个男人让这个被困的女人“保持冷静”。乍一看，这种理解是合理的，但是同学们忽略了完形填空中最重要的一点：上下文。下文提到：拉里告诉那个女人不应该挪动以免伤了脖子，keep still的中文意思就是“保持不动”，所以正确答案应该是B项still。
拉里在运输司机公司上班。2009年的一个早晨，拉里给他的一位 (42) 顾客 送完货以后，正沿着I65公路向北 (41) 行驶 着。突然，他看到一辆亮着灯的汽车。(43) 当 他靠近 时 ，他发现 (44) 另一 辆 车翻倒在路上。他又看了一眼，注意到有 (45) 火苗 从 (46) 出故障的 车的底部窜出来。拉里靠边停车，并踩下刹车，然后(47) 拿起 灭火器。两股粉末从灭火器中喷出，火被扑灭了。
那个让车灯亮着的男人 (48) 走过来 ，告诉拉里他已经 (49) 打 了紧急电话。就在 (50) 那时 ，他们听到了一个女人的声音从毁坏的车里传来。(51) 靠近 那辆车后，他们看到一个女人正努力地想要从毁坏的车窗爬出来。他们告诉她保持 (52) 不动 ，等待救援人员到来，(53) 但是 她认为车就要 (54) 爆炸 了。拉里告诉她，他已经把火扑灭了，而且她不应该挪动 (55) 以免 伤了脖子。
消防员和救援人员一到，拉里和另一个男人就 (56) 后退 ，让他们开始施救。随后，拉里问 (57) 警察 是否需要他留下，还是他可以 (58) 自由 离开。警察让他和那个男人先离开。
有一件事是可以 (59) 肯定的 ——拉里如此近距离地靠近那辆燃烧的汽车，他所做的事情超越了职责的要求。他的 (60) 努力 在很大程度上挽救了那个女人的生命。
