【4】boarded

【5】be seen

【6】later

【7】of

【8】sleepy

【9】were flying

【10】What

【解析】

试题分析：

【1】them；考查代词。本句中代词them指代前半句中提到的复数名词sound and sight。

【2】appointment；考查名词。横线前面有形容词new，说明横线处应该使用名词appointment。

【3】that；考查强调句型。本句属于强调句型“It is/was....that/who....”，本句中强调时间状语only then。句意：直到那时我才发现乘火车旅行是多么快乐。

【4】boarded；考查时态。本文叙述的是过去发生的事情，且全文都使用一般过去时，故本句也用过去时boarded。

【5】be seen；考查语态。本句主语Tropical plants与动词see构成被动关系，所以使用被动语态be seen。

【6】later；考查固定结构。“一段时间+later”意为“一段时间以后”，在句中作时间状语。

【7】of；考查介词。短语a thrill of admiration中的of表示所属关系。

【8】sleepy；考查形容词。英语中的形容词通常和系动词连用构成系表结构，本句中形容词sleepy与系动词feel连用，表示“感觉要睡觉”。

【9】were flying；考查时态。本句叙述当我醒来的时候周围正在发生的事情，所以使用过去进行时。

【10】What 考查感叹句。感叹句中通常用what感叹名词，用how感叹形容词副词。本句中使用what对名词短语a beautiful scene进行感叹。
