填空要做到完整不出意外，按以下三步走。

　　一、定性。空格要求什么性质的东西。是一个词、短语、还是从句等。还要分清性质，是名词性动词性还是形容词性等，填的时候对症下药。

　　二、定位。这一步跟前面是通用的。

　　三、基本照抄。原文照搬即可。问题是抄哪一部分，哪几个词，取决于第一步定性的结果。

　　看真题。

　　8. The greatest benefit brought about by the interstate system was __________.来源：www.examda.com

　　9. Trucks using the interstate highways deliver more than ________________.

　　10. The interstate system was renamed after Eisenhower in recognition of ______________.

　　第八题是一个表语，名词性的，可能是词，短语或从句。原文是：

　　Above all,the interstate system provides individuals with what they enerish most:personal freedom of mobility.

　　不能填provide…, 这是个动词短语。后面what..引导的名词从句可以，冒号后名词短语是对这个名词从句内容的具体化，最好：personal freedom of mobility.

　　第九题填deliver的宾语，要填一个含数字的名词短语。

　　The interstate system has been an essential element of the nation's economic growth in terms of shipping and job creation:more than 75 percent of the nation's freight deliveries arrive by truck.and most products that arrive by rail or air use interstates for the last leg of the journey by vehicle.

　　从75开始的名词短语是：75 percent of the nation’s freight deliveries, deliveries与题中的deliver重复，去掉。

　　第十题，介词之后，名词短语。

　　The high way system was officially renamed for Eisenhower to honor his vison and leadership.

　　不能从to honor截取，它是动词不定式短语，不能作介词宾语，后面his vision and leadership才是。来源：www.examda.com

　　Highway

　　Early in the 20th century, most of the sreets and raods in the U.S. were made of dirt,brick, and cedar wood blocks. Uilt for hosrse, carriage, and foot traffic, they were usually poorly cared for and too narrow to accommodate(容纳) automobiles.

　　With the increase in aoto production, private turnpike(收费公路) companies under local authorities began to spring up, and by 1921 there were 387, 000 miles of paved roads. Many were built using specifications of 19th century Scottish engineers Thomas Telford and John MacAdam(for whom the macadam surface is named), whose specificatins stressed the importance of adequate drainage. Beyond that, there were no national standards for size, weight restrictions, or commercial signs. During World War I, roads throughout the country were nearly destroyed by the weight of trucks. When General Eisenhower returned form Germany in 1919, after serving in the U.S. Army’s first trascontinental motor convoy(车队), he noted:“the old convoy had started me thinking about good, two-lane highways, but Germany’s Autobahn or motorway had made me see the wisdom of broader ribbons across the land.”

　　It would take another war before the federal government would act on a national higway system. During World War II, tremendous increase in trucks and new roads wree required. The war demonstrated how critical highways were to the defense effort. Thirteen per cent of defense plants received all their supplies by truck, and almost all other plants shipped more than half of their products by vehicle. The war also revealed that local control of highways had led to a confusing vareity of design standards. Even federal and state highways did not follow basic standards. Some states allowed trucks up to 36,000 pounds,while others restricted anything over 7,000 pounds. A goverment study recommended a national highway systerm of 33,920 miles,and congress passed the Federcal-Aid Highway Act of 1944,which called for strict,centrally controlled desert criterra.来源：www.examda.com

　　The interstate highway system was finally launched in 1956 and has been hailed as one of the greatest public works projects of the century .To bulid its 44,000-mile web of highways,bridge.and tunnels hundreds of unique engineering designs and solutions had to be worked out.Consider the many geographic ,features of the country:mountains,steep grades,wetlands,rivers,desorts and plains.Variables included the slope of the land,the ability of the pavement to support the load.Innovative, designs of roadways,tunnels,bridges,overpasses,and interchanges that could run through or bypass urban areas soon began to weave their way across the country ,forever altering the face of American .

　　Long-span,segmented-concrete,cable-stayed bridges such as Hale Boggs in Louisiana and the Sunshine Skyway in Florida,and remarkable tunnels like Fort Mchenry in Maryland and Mr.bakerin Washington developed under the nation's physical challenges,Traffic control systems and methods of construction developed uder the interstate program soon influenced highway construction around the world,ang were invaluable in improving the condition of urban streets and traffic patterns.

　　Today, the interstate system links every major city in the U.S,and the U.S with Canada and Mexico,Built with safety in mind the highways have wide lanes and shoulders,dividing medians,or barriers,long entry and exit lanes,ourves engineered for safe turns,and limited access. The death rate on highways is half that of all other U.S roads (0.86 deaths per 100 million passenger miles compared to 1.99 deaths per 100 million on all other roads)

　　By opening the North American continent,highways have enabled consumer goods and services to reach people in remote and rural areas of the country, spurred the growth of suburbs, and provided people with greater options in terms of jobs,access to to cutural programs, health care ,and other benefits.Above all,the interstate system provides individuals with what they enerish most:personal freedom of mobility.

　　The interstate system has been an essential element of the nation's economic growth in terms of shipping and job creation:more than 75 percent of the nation's freight deliveries arrive by truck.and most products that arrive by rail or air use interstates for the last leg of the journey by vehicle.Not only has the highway system affected the American economy by providing shipping routes,it has led to the growth of spin-off industries like service stations ,motels,restaurants,and shopping centres.It has allower the rwlocation of manufacturing plants and other industries from urban areas to rural.

　　By the end of the century there was an immense network of paved roads ,residential streets,expressways,and freeways built to support millions of vehicles. The high way system was officially renamed for Eisenhower to honor his vison and leadership.The year construction bega
