Answer 1

【答案】

【1】earlier

【2】muddy

【3】bought

【4】a

【5】Slowly

【6】embarrassment

【7】standing

【8】and

【9】for

【10】whom

【解析】本文介绍了我在路上因为袋子坏了，买的芒果掉在地上了。我捡芒果的时候，路上的车辆慢慢地停下来。一个年轻的妇女帮助我捡芒果，她就是我在一个月前帮助找到工作的那个妇女。

【1】earlier

句意：我比以前更早地穿过我们村的市场。根据介词than可知此处用early的比较级，故为earlier。

【2】muddy

句意：小雨是这条路非常泥泞和脏乱。make+名词+形容词“使某物/某人处于某种状态，”故用mud的形容词形式，故为muddy。

【3】bought

句意：我看见一些芒果正在便宜地销售，所以我买了三千克熟芒果，然后把他们放在一个精美的塑料袋里。根据前半句的谓语saw是一般过去时，故此处的谓语用一般过去时，故为bought。

【4】a

句意：我看见一些芒果正在便宜地销售，所以我买了三千克熟芒果，然后把他们放在一个精美的塑料袋里。修饰单数名词bag，故用不定冠词a。

【5】Slowly

句意：当我在路上开始捡水果时，慢慢地车辆开始停下来。修饰句子the traffic came to a stop，故用副词，故为Slowly。

【6】embarrassment

句意：但是当我把一些芒果放进了那个塑料袋了，另一个有地方也破了，这让我更尴尬。形容词more修饰名词，故为embarrassment。

【7】standing

句意：事情持续了两三分钟，车辆仍然停在那里。with的宾语复合结构：with+宾语+宾语补足语，此处宾语the traffic与补足语stand之间，表示主动关系，故用现在分词，故为standing。

【8】and

句意：然后突然一个年轻妇女过来，帮助从路上捡起剩下的芒果。此处表示动词的承接，故用连词and。

【9】for

句意：然后她误了另一家商店，给我拿来一个新塑料袋，把所有的芒果都放进里面。fetch sth for sb为某人去拿回某物，故用介词for。

【10】whom

句意：我认出她了——那个我一个月以前我在附近的一个机构为她找到了一份工作的那个贫困的妇女。此处是定语从句，先行词woman表示人，作为介词for的宾语，故用关系代词whom。
