题目内容
“Sorry” is a word that people in Britain often say in their daily life.
One day while I was w 1. on the street, a young man ran by hurriedly, brushing(轻擦) against my handbag. He continued his way, but turned b 2. and said “sorry” to me. Even in a rush, he didn’t f 3. to say “sorry”. One day, after I bought some bananas, the shopkeeper was passing me the change, but I wasn’t ready for it and a coin dropped onto the ground. “Sorry, Madam,” he said w 4. bending to pick it up. I was s 5. why he said “sorry” to me. Another time, I stepped on a man’s f 6. at the entrance to a cinema. At the same time, we b 7. said “sorry”.
Slowly, I got to k8. that when something unpleasant happens in daily life, the British don’t c 9. much about who is wrong. If someone is in trouble, a “sorry” is always n 10. . Perhaps that is w 11. I seldom see people quarrel on the buses or streets in Britain.

3.结合语境可知他没有忘记说对不起。联系前文助动词didn’t及首字母可知填原形动作forget/fail,忘记。
4.联系下文,可知他一边捡硬币一边向我说抱歉,结合首字母可知填连词while,当……时,注意和when的区别,前者多强调动作的同时发生,后者主从动作有先后。
