15.I don't know what it is.No matter(61)when I go to a post office and no matter where the post office is,I always find(62)myself (me) standing in line behind someone who has a lot of business to do.One day,I had to buy a couple of stamps,but I had to wait behind an old lady who took fifteen minutes(63)to finish (finish) a form that a child could do in one minute.(64)Feeling ( feel) that I could not stand waiting in such a line any longer,I decided to join(65)anotherone.It seemed twice as long as the first line,(66)but at least it was moving.It turned out to be the worst choice I had ever made.As soon as I (67)lost(lose)my place in the first line,the one I joined slowed to a stop.I had no choice(68)to wait (wait) behind a schoolboy who was taking half an hour to choose a new set of postcards.At last it was my turn.I nearly jumped for joy.Then the clerk behind (69)the counter,a middle-aged fat guy,stood up,pushed forward a printed sign saying"Position Closed"and (70)said (say) without a smile,"Sorry,going to lunch."
分析 本文通过讲述作者排队在邮局办事的经历,旨在说明无论自己什么时候去邮局,也不管是去哪里的邮局,都会发现自己总是站在那些有很多事情要做的人的后面.
解答 答案:
61.when 考查句意理解以及从属连词 本句的意思是:无论我什么时候去邮局,也不管是去哪里的邮局;此处与no matter where相对应,意为:无论什么时候;故用when.
62.myself 考查句意理解以及反身代词 此处表示强调,指的是发现我自己…;故用myself.
63.to finish 考查固定搭配 take time to do sth.意为:花时间做某事;故用to finish.
64.Feeling 考查现在分词 此处用在句首作原因状语,由于动词feel与其逻辑主语I是主谓关系,故用现在分词Feeling.
65.another 考查不定代词 此处指的是加入另一队,故用不定代词another.
66.but 考查句意理解以及连词 本句的意思是:它似乎是第一支队伍的两倍长,但至少它是移动的;此处表示转折关系,故用but.
67.lost 考查时态 此处在as soon as引导的从句中作谓语,根据上文的时间状语"One day"可知,此处指的是发生在过去某天的事情,应使用一般过去时;故用lost.
68.to wait 考查固定句型 have no choice (but )to do sth.意为:除了做…别无选择;故用to wait.
69.the 考查冠词 此处用在名词counter之后,表示特指那家邮局里的柜台,故用the.
70.said 考查动词的时态 此处与动词stood 以及pushed在句中一起作并列谓语,故它们在形式上应是保持一致;故用said.
