Passage 4·语篇导读 本文中作者讲述了上周
二一次不同寻常的回家经历。
1. minutes 句意为:然后,二十分钟后,我下车
了。twenty后面应跟可数名词的复数形式。
根据语境可知此处说的应该是坐火车的时
长,故填minutes。
2. suddenly 句意为:当我正望着窗外时,火车
突然停了下来。此处需要用副词来修饰动
词,结合语境和所给词可知填suddenly。
3. themselves 句意为:……一些人开始自言
自语并四处张望。speak to oneself意为“自言
自语”,符合语境,主语是some people,故填
themselves。
4. more 句意为:火车停得越久,越多的人变
得生气。“the + 比较级..., the + 比较级...”
是固定句型,意为“越……,就越……”。此处
指更多的人,所以用many的比较级more。
5. happened 句意为:……但是接下来一些意
想不到的事情发生了。由语境可知此处用
happen,表示“发生”。由上下文可知此处用
一般过去时,故填happened。
6. visitor 句意为:一个年轻的游客向我走来。
根据“He was travelling here.”可知,这个人是
一名游客。由A可知填visitor。
7. to forget 句意为:他很高兴,似乎忘记了不
得不在火车上等待的烦恼。seem to do sth.是
固定搭配,意为“似乎做某事”。此处指似乎
忘记了烦恼,故填to forget。
8. surprised 句意为:我很惊讶地发现我一直
都错了…… 由语境可知此处表示“感到惊讶
的”,结合所给词可知填surprised。
9. spends 句意为:每个周末,她都花时间去爬
山。“spend+时间+in doing sth.”为固定结构,
意为“花费时间做某事”,符合语境。由上一
句和Every weekend可知应用一般现在时,主
语she是第三人称单数,动词应使用第三人称
单数形式。故填spends。
10. was welcomed 句意为:她被所有人像英
雄一样欢迎。由语境可知此处表示被欢迎,
应用被动语态。由上一句可知时态用一般
过去时,主语为She,故填was welcomed。
