Ⅰ.[2019·河南改编]完形填空
Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a police officer saw a car driving along at 22 miles per hour.
He thought to himself, “This driver is just as dangerous as a 1 !” So he turned on his lights and pulled the driver over.
Getting closer to the car, he noticed that there were 2 old ladies, two in the front seat and three in the back, wide eyed and pale faced.
The driver, who knew 3 about what happened, said to him, “Officer, I don't understand. I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem?”
“Ma'am,” the officer replied, “you weren't speeding, but you should know that driving 4 than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers. The same as a speeder.”
“No,sir. I was doing the speed limit—exactly twenty-two miles an hour!” The old woman said in a 5 voice. The officer, almost unable to control his chuckle(窃笑), explained to her that “22” was the route (公路) 6 not the speed limit(限制).
A bit embarrassed(尴尬的), the woman smiled widely and thanked the officer for 7 her misunderstanding.
“But before I let you go, ma'am, I have to ask…Is everyone in this car OK? These women seem to be 8 badly and they haven't made a single sound this whole time,” the officer asked.
“Oh, they'll be all right in a minute. We just got off Route 119.”
