【解析】

试题分析：1.根据题意可知，本处（1--3）的意思是“负责某事”be responsible for，又因为是过去时，所以填was responsible  for；我们都知道大本钟，很大，所以本句的意思是“它不仅很巨大，而且非常精确”，“巨大的”就是of immense size （4--6）；根据前面一句“大本钟很少不准确，”和本句中的“once，however”可知，这次没能给出正确的时间，也就是说失败了，所以（7--9）填failed to。

2.根据30feet“30英尺”可知本处应该是知道长度，故应该用in length（1--2）；本句（3--6）的意思是“尽管坎贝尔达到了每小时305的速度”reach a speed of “达到…的速度”。所以本题填reached a speed of。

3.本句的意思是“而有那么一个小男孩，他在逃学期间旅行了1,600英里，从而使上述所有逃学的孩子们都相形见绌了”put sb. To shame“使某人惭愧”根据句意应该是现在完成时的被动语态，故（1--4）应该填been put to shame；本句（5—6）的意思是“在千千万万梦想着逃学的孩子当中，他可是创下了一个“不朽的记录”“梦想做某事”是dream of。

4.本句（1—4）的意思是“他花了几年时间在巴黎附近徘徊，直到他在岛上建立了他的家。”“花费数年在某处徘徊”应该是spent years wondering around。本句（5—8）的意思是“因为有了威廉,莎士比亚和他的喜剧，英国剧院格外出名。”“熟悉”是well known；本句（9—10）的意思是“而且，在英国剧院仍旧流行表演结束后向舞台上扔东西。但是今天通常扔鲜花而不是钱或者蔬菜。”“代替，而不是”是instead of。

5.本句（1—4）的意思是“汉常说说：‘很高兴你这样的天才开车，爱因斯坦博士。’”本句是一个固定句型It’s one’s /a pleasure to do sth.所以本题填It’s my /a pleasure to；本句（5—7）的意思是“看完那个协奏曲,莫扎特的爸爸震惊得说不出话来。”“太……而不能”是too…to，所以本题填too shocked to。本句（8—10）的意思是“例如，当他旅行时，他很难记住订的票放在了哪里”本句考查“做某事有困难”have trouble doing，又因为是过去时，所以本题应该填had trouble remembering。

考点：本题考查默写。

点评：本题实际是考查我们对课文的掌握情况，这就需要我们在平时的学习中熟练背诵课文或其中出现过的重点句型。做本题是应该注意句型的时态以及固定短语的用法。
