A．the; a B．the; an C．/; the D．a; the
答案 D [考查冠词用法。句意：当迈克听到自己已经通过了驾照考试时，他很兴奋。a feeling of excitement一种兴奋的感觉，为固定短语；后一空格应用the表特指。]
2．The passengers were sent to the nearest hospital ________ after the accident happened.
A．shortly B．nearly C．Instantly D．dearly
答案 A [考查副词的辨析。句意：事故发生之后不久，旅客们被送到最近的医院。shortly after为固定结构，充当连词，意为“不久以后”；instantly“立即地，即刻地”，本题强调“发生后不久”，且instantly后面不能跟after，故排除此项；nearly“几乎”；dearly“非常地、极大地”。]
