When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of 【1】______ ( I ) decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation. I suggested they 【2】_____ stay at “ bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance 【3】_____ (speak) English with the family. My friends accepted my advice, but they came back with some 【4】____ (fun ) stories.
“ We did not stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “ because we found that most families were away on holiday.” It was obviously impossible. Finally I understood what 【5】____ (happen). My friends spoke little English, and they thought“VACANCIES” meant “holidays”, 【6】____ the Spainish word for “holidays” is “vacancies”. So they did not go to the houses with the signs outside saying “ VACANCIES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went 【7】____ ( direct ) to the houses with the signs saying“NO VACANCIES ” , because they thought this meant the 【8】____ ( own ) of the houses were not away on holiday. But in fact, all of these houses 【9】_____ (fill ) with travelers. As 【10】____ result, they stayed at hotels!
【答案】
【1】mine
【2】should
【3】to speak
【4】funny
【5】had happened
【6】because/for
【7】directly
【8】owners
【9】were filled
【10】a
【解析】
【1】mine 考查固定短语。friends of mine意为:我的朋友。
【2】should 考查固定句型。suggest意为:建议。后面加宾语从句时,从句中的谓语动词需要使用虚拟语气,形式是:should+do,其中should可以省略。
【3】to speak考查固定搭配。the chance to do sth.意为:做某事的机会。to do这里是定语,修饰前面的名词the chance。
【4】funny考查形容词。根据句子的语法结构,可知我们这里需要一个形容词来修饰名词stories。
【5】had happened考查动词时态。根据句子的语法结构我们可以知道,我们填的是宾语从句中的谓语动词,主句的谓语动词understood已经是一般过去时了,happen这个动作发生在它之前,所以应该使用过去完成时态。
【6】because/for 考查连词;根据这两句话之间的逻辑关系我们可知,后面的句子是用来说明前一句话的原因的。他之所以认为vacancies是holidays的意思是因为,在西班牙语中,表达holidays含义的词就是vacancies。
【7】directly 考查副词。根据句子的语法结构,可知这里应该使用副词来修饰动词go 。
【8】owners考查名词。根据句子的语法结构以及句意我们可以知道,这里需要的是表示“主人”含义的名词。
【9】were filled考查谓语动词 。根据句子的语法结构我们知道,这里需要使用提示词的适当形式来做句子的谓语动词。结合文章的时态,以及该句的句意可知此处应该使用该词的一般过去式的被动语态,即were filled 形式。
【10】a 考查固定搭配。as a result意为:结果。
