【解析】Jones夫人已经80多岁了,她还是喜欢开车,而且她说她从来没有违反过交通规则,但是有一次她差点就破了她的这个纪录了,究竟是怎么回事呢?看看短文讲述的吧。
【1】句意:Jones夫人已经80多岁了,但是她仍然像年轻人一样开着她的旧车。like像,是一个介词。根据句意可知,这句话把Jones夫人比作年轻人,空后面是名词,故填介词like。
【2】句意:然而有一天,她几乎打破她的记录。however然而,可是,表示转折,是一个副词。根据上句话she says that she has never broken the traffic rules可知,Jones夫人说她从来没有违反过交通规则,这里又说nearly broke her record,这两句是转折的关系,空后面有逗号,应填副词,故填however。
【3】句意:警车里的警察看见她没有停车过了红灯。stop停止,是一个动词。空前without是一个介词,后面跟名词或者动名词形式,故这里填动名词stopping,注意要双写,再加ing。
【4】句意:当Jones夫人来到警察面前的时候,警察说他太老了不能开车。drive开车,驾驶,是一个动词。这句话使用的句型是too…to do sth.太…以至于不能去做某事,故填动词不定式to drive。
【5】句意:还说她的眼睛可能因为年老变得弱了,因此她没有在红灯那儿停车。so因此,所以,是一个连词,表示因果关系,根据句意可知。
【6】句意:她选了一个针眼儿非常小的针,一次就把线穿了过去。choose选择,是一个动词。根据文意可知,这篇短文从第二段开始,讲述的是过去的一件事,使用的都是一般过去时态,故这里填过去式chose。
【7】句意:当她成功地做完之后,她又把线从针里拿出来,并把针和线都交给了警察。out出来,是一个副词,和空前面的take 组成短语,拿出,取出。
【8】句意:当她成功地做完之后,她又把线从针里拿出来,并把针和线都交给了警察。and和,而且,和前面的both搭配,表示两者都…。
【9】句意:在试了六次之后,他还是没有成功。time时间;次数,倍数。根据句意可知,这里的time是次数的意思,空前有数词six,故填复数times。
【10】句意:因此Jones夫人就没有得到惩罚,她的纪录也就没有打破。punish惩罚,是一个动词,根据句意可知,Jones夫人和punish是构成被动关系,这里还是应使用一般现在时态,而且是否定形式,故填wasn’t punished。
