【答案】when;heard;An;turning;nervously;It;to put;Feet;shocked ;what
【解析】本文为记叙文。文章描述了Sammy Armstrong在开车上班的路上,遇见了被困在铁路轨道上的一对老夫妻,他帮忙在火车到来之前,把那对老夫妻的汽车推离了轨道的故事。
(1)考查时间状语从句。句意:当Sammy Armstrong注意到一辆汽车被卡在铁路轨道的时候,他正开车去上班。when“当……时”。故填when。
(2)考查动词时态。根据语境可知,此处描述的是过去的事情,应使用一般过去时。故填heard。
(3)考查不定冠词。此处泛指“一名老人”,elderly是元音音素开头的词,应使用不定冠词an。故填An。
(4)考查非谓语动词。此处与主语是逻辑主谓关系,且根据空后and hitting,可知应使用-ing形式,表伴随。故填turning。
(5)考查副词。此处修饰动词look,应用副词形式,意为“焦虑地看着他”。故填nervously。
(6)考查代词it作形式主语。分析句子结构可知,本句的真正的主语 to push the car backward,设空处为形式主语,应使用代词it。故填It。
(7)考查非谓语动词。根据语境可知,此处为“他朝Jean喊,让他把车挂到空挡上”,不定式表目的。故填to put。
(8)考查名词单复数。根据空前修饰词a couple of可知,此处应使用foot“英尺”的复数形式。故填feet。
(9)考查词性转化。根据空后的and speechless及分析句子结构可知,此处用-ed形式的形容词作状语,修饰主语Sammy的状态。故填shocked。
(10)考查名词性从句连词。句意:我只是做了我认为是普通公民应该做的事。分析句子结构可知,空格处应该作did的宾语,而该连接词在宾语从句中又充当believe的宾语,应使用连词what,指代“事情”。故填what。

In agrarian(农业的), pre-industrial Europe,“you'd want to wake up early, start working with the sunrise, have a break to have the largest meal, and then you'd go back to work,”says Ken Albala, a professor of history at the University of the Pacific.“Later, at 5 or 6, you'd have a smaller supper.”
This comfortable cycle, in which the rhythms of the day helped shape the rhythms of the meals, gave rise to the custom of the large midday meal, eaten with the extended family.“Meals are the foundation of the family,”says Carole Couniban, a professor at Millersville University in Pennsylvania, “so there was a very important interconnection between eating together and strengthening family ties.”
Since industrialization, maintaining such a slow cultural metabolism has been much harder, with the long midday meal shrinking to whatever could be stuffed into a lunch bucket or bought at a food stand. Certainly, there were benefits. Modern techniques for producing and shipping food led to greater variety and quantity, including a tremendous increase in the amount of animal protein and dairy products available, making us more energetic than our ancestors.
Yet plenty has been lost too, even in cultures that still live to eat. Take Italy. It's no secret that the Mediterranean diet is healthy, but it was also a joy to prepare and eat. Italians, says Counihan, traditionally began the day with a small meal. The big meal came at around 1 p.m. In between the midday meal and a late, smaller dinner came a small snack. Today, when time zones have less and less meaning, there is little tolerance for offices' closing for lunch, and worsening traffic in cities means workers can't make it home and back fast enough anyway. So the formerly small supper after sundown becomes the big meal of the day, the only one at which the family has a chance to get together.“The evening meal carries the full burden that used to be spread over two meals,”says Counihan.
