It was the second day of a winter holiday

题目内容：

It was the second day of a winter holiday in Queenstown, New Zealand, three years ago. When we decided to explore the beautiful scenery, our landlady 36us,“Make sure you are well wrapped up today. The weather is 37. Head back when you see snowfall.”

The day was bright and sunny, and I started to wonder if she was being too cautious. When snow began to fall at 6:00 pm, I was not worried, thinking we’d have no 38in catching a taxi back. However, we waited for a while, and all the drivers shook their heads when told of our 39.

The first driver passed by and gave me a card with a number for me to 40help. I was filled with 41 , but I had no choice but to lead my three sisters to a nearby place to make the 42. Then a taxi drew up and we climbed in. The driver did not appear very friendly. Then the light streaming from his headlights showed very 43why no taxi wanted to take us to our hotel. And I began to understand the driver’s apparently unfriendly silence — he was worried. The steep incline (斜坡) ahead was 44with snow. The taxi slowly made its way up the hill. Suddenly, we came to a dead stop, and the driver turned to us. “Look! It is very 45to go forward. You have to get out and walk. If I drive any further, the taxi will slide back,” he said. “Er ... can you keep your headlight on and help my elder sister? The rest of us will follow you up,” I said. The driver 46.

We made it safely back to our hotel. Even though it 47 for the rest of the days, we could see the silver lining in the cloud(一线希望): the generous soul who helped us.

小题7:考查名词。上文提到第一个司机给了我一张有电话号码的卡片，所以我狐疑的领着姐妹们去附近打电话。Make the call打电话

小题8:考查副词。A清楚地B虚弱地C不乐意地D安静地。根据上下文语境（重现)apparently （显然地）可知此处应填clearly

小题9:考查动词。根据语境，因为下雪，前面的斜坡上被雪所覆盖，be covered with被...覆盖。

小题10:考查形容词。从上文we came to a dead stop可以推断出很危险，故选A危险的。B可能的C有限的D不可接受的

【小题11考查动词。根据语境，作者提出建议，司机同意了，故选A。B承认C钦佩D运用；申请，均不合题意
