江西省白鹭洲中学10-11学年高一上学期第一次月考(英语) A 36 thing happened 37 me last Sunday. It was such a beautiful
day __38_ I drove to go for a look in the country.
On
the way back home, my 39 stopped. It was out of gas on
a 40 road far from a town! I decided to
walk until I found someone
41 could sell some gas. I
had walked almost a mile
42 I finally found a house
near the __43__. I was glad to see it because it was getting dark.
I
knocked at the door and a little old lady with long white hair __44_. She said,
“I’ve been __45__ for you here for a long time. Come in. 46 is almost ready.”
“But
I only came for some gas,” I answered. I couldn’t 47 what she was talking about.
“Oh,
Alfred! Gas? You 48 tea,” said she.
I
quickly 49 that my car was out of 50 , but she didn’t seem to listen to me.
She just kept 51 me Alfred and talking about how long it
had been 52 she had seen me. She was acting
very strangely and I was anxious to leave. As soon as she went to get tea, I
went out of the house as fast as I
53 .
Fortunately,
there was another house down the road and I was able to buy the gas I needed.
When I told the man about my
54 , he said, “Oh, that’s Miss Emily. She lives by herself in that big
house. She’s strange, but she wouldn’t 55 anybody. She is still waiting for the
man she was going to marry thirty years ago. The day before their
wedding he left home and never came back because of the war.”
