参考答案: B
参考解析: 连接词辫析。although，尽管，since , because , therefore表示原因。本句话是指“尽管笔直、宽阔的现代化公路很好，但是这样的公路并不一直让人满意”，有转折的意思，所以选A。
词汇搭配题。" stable（稳定的）“、 " splendid（杰出的）”和“complicated（复杂的）”一般不能用来修饰“roads"。
由于后面提到了“direct route"，可见指的是很少急转弯的公路，所以选择修饰可数名词的“few"，表达较少的意思。
根据上下文，如果高速公路总是保持笔直，对于驾驶者来说是没有什么乐趣而言的，因此正确答案为“enjoyable"。
介词“by”和动词“pass"搭配表示“经过，逝去的”意思，其他三个词搭配错误。
副词“furthermore”表明它是对上一句的补充，即高速公路不仅经过景区和乡村，往往还把庞大的都市中心区连接起来，所以选B。
词语搭配题。表达“交通拥挤”时，用“heavy”来修饰“traffic"。
前面提到了“rush hours " (交通高峰期），后面跟的是一个非限定性定语从句，选项中只有“when”可以作表示时间的引导词。
从上下文判断，此句应该是条件句，即如果你不着急，还有“always another route to take（另外一条路可选）"，因此选项B正确。
根据主句中的“older……roads”可推断此空需要填一个比较意义的副词，以构成对比关系。relatively“相应地，相对地”为正确答案。其他三个词的意思分别为：regularly“有规律地，定期地”; respectively“各自地”; reasonably“有理由地”。
根据此空前后词及结构可断定此空应使用比较级，故可排除选项A和D。另外，根据上下文可推测此空应为“less"，因为“more heavily traveled”意为“车辆拥挤的”公路，与常识不符。
从下文的“others'‘可知此空正确答案为选项D。
根据上文的“slopes”和下文的“hillsides”就可以断定这里需要一个表示路况不好的词，选项A (rocks）意义不符，故只有B( cliffs)“悬崖”为正确答案。
根据题目和选项可断定此空应为“towns”的后置定语，由此可猜测句义为“位于深谷中的城镇”, lie是“位于”，是不及物动词，不能以过去分词的形式出现作名词的后置修饰语，故正确答案为“lie”的现在分词形式“lying"。
定语从句修饰地方时用“where”来引导。
