Answer 1

答案：
解析：

1．一辆小汽车正在行驶，突然被警察拦住，开车的来访者必然要问原因．“What's the matter?”意思是“怎么回事？”此空应填matter． 　　2．on the side of是固定的介词短语，意思是“在……的边上(一侧)”．此空应填on． 　　3．根据下边来访者说的“But you said was driving on the right side”可以推断出，这里是来访者对警察责怪汽车开在路的右边不理解．警察说的right为“右”，来访者误解为“正确的”．此空应填wrong表示“错误的”． 　　4．此空应填right．right作形容词带人称主语时，是指某人的陈述、判断或意见是正确的． 　　5．在英国汽车靠路的左侧行驶，因此靠右侧行驶是错误的．但right一词既可以作“右边”解，又可以作“正确的”解，显然来访者混淆了这两种概念．因此对警察拦住汽车很不理解，故此空应填stop表示“拦住”． 　　6．根据警察说的“The right is left”可以判断出此空应填left．这里是警察坚持让来访者开车靠左行，这是英国的行车习惯． 　　7．根据前句“I want to go to Oxford Street”可判断出该句是问路，故填way． 　　8．根据空白后“and right is wrong”可推断出，此空应填left．这里来访者已从警察那里理解了开车左行正确、右行错误这一交通规则． 　　9．参照空白后“But if you turn right，you'll be wrong”可判断出，此空应填从属连词if表示“如果”，引导一个条件状语从句． 　　10．空白后复合句表示的汽车转向右行错误，与该空前的复合句表示的转向左行正确所表达的是转折意义，所以此空应填表示转折意义的并列连词But．
