【2】句意:六个星期后,莎拉弹得不好,仍然发出糟糕的声音。
根据上文Six weeks later, Sarah didn’t play well可知下文是说发出不要的声音。短语make a terrible noise表示发出不好的声音,整个文中是过去式时态,这里用make的过去式made。根据句意, 故填made。
【3】句意:怀特先生的一个朋友来了,应邀一起听莎拉的表演。
根据to listen to Sarah’s performance together可知这里是被邀请去听Sarah的表演。这里是一般过去时态的被动语态,其结构是was/were done的形式。主语是单数,be动词用was。根据句意,故填was invited。
【4】句意:你花了很多钱,但她仍然弹得很差。
根据下文but she still plays very badly.可知上文是说你已经花了很多钱,这里用现在完成时,其结构是have done的形式。Spend动词,意思是“花费”,根据句意,故填have spent。
【5】句意:再过六周,我想我会拥有整栋楼。
根据In another six weeks可知下文用一般将来时,其结构是will+动词原形。own动词,意思是“拥有”,根据句意,故填will own。
