【解析】

试题分析：世界最糟糕的游客是旧金山的保罗。一次他从美国坐飞机到他在意大利的家乡去见某个人。飞机在纽约机场停顿一小时加油。保罗以为他是在罗马，所以就下了飞机。没有人在那里迎接他时, 保罗以为也许交通堵塞使他的朋友们迟到了。在寻找他们的地址时，保罗发现旧的"罗马"已经改变了很多。他发现了许多高大的现代建筑物而不是旧的。他还发现很多人讲英语，但不是意大利语和主要街道标志是用英语写的。保罗知道英语很少。所以他用意大利语问一名警察去公共汽车站的路。他碰巧遇见了一位也出生在意大利的警察，用意大利语回答了他。坐一辆公共汽车近十二个小时后，司机把他交给另一名警察，但这次，这名警察只会说英语。所以保罗问警察为什么雇佣了这么多说英语达人当警察。当他被告知他是在纽约时他不相信，为了让他登上去意大利的飞机，他只好坐着警车被送往机场。

1.根据后面的内容可知，他从美国到他在意大利的家乡去见某个人是坐飞机去的。所以填flew。

2.保罗以为他是在罗马，所以就下了飞机。so 所以。

3.保罗以为也许是交通堵塞使他的朋友们迟到了。heavy traffic 交通堵塞。

4.他发现了许多高大的现代建筑物而不是旧的。根据后面的old 可知填现代化的modern。

5.5】...主要街道标志是用英语写的。谓语构成被动语态时，was后面要用动词的过去分词written。

6.6】根据后面的故事可知：保罗知道的英语很少。little表否定意义。

7.7】他碰巧遇见了一位也出生在意大利的警察，用意大利语回答了他。用同一种语言：in the same language。

8.8】坐一辆公共汽车近十二个小时后，司机把他交给另一名警察，根据下文可知是another。

9.9】当他被告知他是在纽约时他不相信。believe相信。

10.10】他只好坐着警车被送往机场。谓语构成被动语态时，was后面要用动词的过去分词sent。

考点：词汇运用。
