After informing the driver of his 11, Alexander resorted to his reading of Dan Brown's intelligent thriller, The Da Vinci Code.
答案：(B) destination
destination（目的地）符合告知計程車司機要去哪裡的語意；motivation／expectation／solution 皆不符合此處語境。
四個選項都是 -tion 結尾的抽象名詞，長得很像，容易混淆，你會掃過去挑一個最眼熟的。
答對率不到五成，鑑別度高達 57。空格前是 After informing the driver of his ______（在告訴司機他的______之後）。先問一件事：上了計程車，第一件要告訴司機的是什麼？當然是要去哪裡。destination 就是「目的地」。填進去讀成 After informing the driver of his destination（告訴司機目的地之後）。後文也能驗算：Alexander 後來發現 the driver had detoured from the familiar route（司機偏離了熟悉的路線）——他會知道偏離，正是因為一開始就講明了目的地。
motivation（動機）、expectation（期望）、solution（解決辦法）三個都是 -tion 名詞，形態吻合，容易被順手選走，但沒有一個是上車時會告訴司機的事。
destination（目的地）、inform somebody of something（告知某人某事）、hail a taxi（招計程車）、detour from（偏離、繞道）、resort to（訴諸、只好轉而做）、motivation（動機）。
After a long day working in the office, Alexander hailed a taxi to take him home. Squeezing his body into the taxi, he noticed the shiny interior and the smell of brand new leather. After informing the driver of his 11, Alexander resorted to his reading of Dan Brown's intelligent thriller, The Da Vinci Code. Five minutes into the journey, he was on page 120: "…his Mona Lisa is neither male nor female…"
Suddenly, Alexander 12 and noticed that the driver had detoured from the familiar route. To redirect the driver, Alexander tapped him on the shoulder. Out of the blue, the driver screamed, lost control of the car, and almost hit a bus. The cab went up on the footpath and 13 stopped centimeters away from a shop window.
For a second, everything went quiet in the cab. Then the driver said, "Look, mate! Don't ever do that again. You scared the living daylights out of me!" Alexander apologized and said, "I didn't 14 that a little tap would scare you so much." The driver replied, "Sorry, sir. It's not really your 15. Today is my first day as a cab driver. I've been driving a funeral van for the last 25 years."
