参考答案: A
参考解析: 根据后面的“a direct route is not always...”可知，这里需要表示让步的连词。
Although引导的状语从句说的都是公路好的、有利的方面，道路上急弯少也是有利的方 面。弯道是可数名词，所以选B。
前面的状语从句说的是公路好的、有利的方面，但后面的语气一转，提到“一条直的路 线并不总是令人愉快的”。所以选C。
pass by是固定搭配，意为“经过”，符合句意。pass to意为“转到”;pass into意为“变 成”;pass over意为“忽略”。
该句的意思是：这些公路一般都连接着大城市中心。connect意为“连接，相连”，符合 句意。
heavy traffic是“交通拥挤”的意思，符合句意。
此句意思是：如果你不着急，几乎总能有另一条路可走。almost意思是“几乎，差不多”, 符合句意。
空格后是形容词new，该空格处应填副词。后面句子中的older是比较级，所以new也 应有比较的意思。所以选A。
在此空格前出现比较级“older"，本空格与“older”为并列成分，也应为比较级。根据句 意“通往乡村的路一般情况一下不会出现交通阻塞”，所以选择一含有否定意义的“less”最为恰当。
后面有others，表示“另一些”，则此空应表示“一些”。故选D。
drive驾驶；cross穿过；curv。沿曲线行进；travel通过，旅游。这里句子的意思是“这些道 路，有些是平坦的双车道，有些则不平坦，蜿蜒经过乡下”。故选C。
空前的意思是：这些辅线可以爬上陡峭的斜坡。。从上下文看，爬上陡峭的斜坡必然沿 着悬崖延伸，而不可能沿着岩石、大道或小路延伸。
lying意思是“坐落”,lying是lie的现在分词形式。
这是一个定语从句，关系副词where引导的句子修饰先行词places。
此句的意思是“有机会欣赏到人间清新、洁净的景色”。view意为“景色”，符合句意。
