分析 本文讲述了法国人与意大利人语言不通发生误解的一个有趣的故事．法国人在散步时以为自己的手表被经过的意大利人偷了，于是他向意大利人举起了他的拳头将手表拿了回来．而他回到旅店发现他的手表安然无恙地躺在桌上．
解答 71．a 考查不定冠词．go outfor a walk是固定短语，意为"出去散步"，故填a．
72．who/that考查定语从句．在这个定语从句中，先行词是an Italian young man，指人且关系词在从句中作主语，所以此处应用who或that引导这个定语从句，故填who/that．
73．when 考查时间状语从句．句意：当那名法国人突然发现他的表没了的时候，那名年轻的意大利人几乎已消失在视野之中了．根据句意和句中的found可判断出，此处应用when引导这个时间状语从句，故填when．
74．gone 考查非谓语动词．由语境可知，此处应用形容词gone"丢失的"作宾语补足语，故填gone．
75．with 考查固定短语．catchup with是固定短语，意为"追赶上"，故填with．
76．neither考查代词．根据语境可知，那名法国人和那名年轻的意大利人都不理解对方的语言，所以此处应用neither，表示"两者都不"，故填neither．
77．pointed考查动词时态．根据本句中的"The Frenchman frightened the…and"可判断出，此处应用一般过去时，故填pointed．
78．what 考查宾语从句．根据语境可知，那名法国人告诉妻子刚发生的事．在这个宾语从句中缺少主语，用what引导宾语从句，what相当于"the thing that"，故填what．
79．surprised考查形容词．根据语境可知，那位法国人很惊讶，所以此处应用形容词surprised"感到惊讶的"，它通常用来修饰人．注意：surprising意为"令人惊讶的"，通常用来修饰物，故填surprised．
80．hadrobbed 考查动词时态．因为"误抢那位意大利人的手表"这一动作发生在主句中的谓语realized所表示的动作之前，而且he和rob之间是主谓关系，所以此处应用rob的过去完成时形式，故填had robbed．
点评 语法填空题是考查学生的语言运用能力．解题时，要在理解文章的基础上，灵活运用语法知识，如词性，时态，名词单复数，连接词，代词，冠词等判断空白处应填写的内容．答完后，还要通读全文，核对所填单词形式是否正确，是否符合语境．
