19．用括号中所给动词的正确形式填空，使短文完整．Dr Watson was a good friend of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes．One morning the（53）were eating（eat） breakfast when suddenly Holmes said，"I have to go to a place （54）called（call） Coland．A horse has disappeared from there，and the police can't find it．Will you come with me？"
"Do you think that the horse（55）was stolen（steal） the other day？"Watson asked．
"I don't know，'Holmes replied．"I need to go to Coland（56）to find（find） out．"
"Why is this horse so important，Holmes？"Watson asked．
"Because I（57）will run（run） in a big race．If it wins，a lot of people will win a great deal of money．There are also people who（58）don't want（not want） it to win．"
An hour later，they were on the train to Coland．
分析 Dr Watson是著名侦探的好友，侦探说要去一个叫做Coland的地方，一匹马从那里消失了，要去找出来，因为他将会参加比赛，赢了就会有很多人赢得很多钱，有人不想它赢，故他们一起去Coland．
解答 53．were eating．时态考查，结合One morning 和when suddenly Holmes said可知表达的是过去的正在进行的动作，故用过去进行时was/were+doing，主语they，故were，故答案是were eating．
54．called．非谓语动词考查．这里是用过去分词作为后置定语，表示被动，故答案是called．
55．was stolen．被动语态考查．主语the horse是steal的承受者，结合the other day用一般过去时的被动语态was/were+过去分词，主语三单，故was，steal的过去分词stolen，故答案是was stolen．
56．to find．非谓语动词考查，这里用动词不定式表达目的，作为目的状语，故答案是to find．
57．will run．时态考查．表达的是将来的动作，故用一般将来时will+动词原形，故答案是will run．
58．don't want．动词考查．who作为关系词，修饰前面的people，表达的是客观事实用一般现在时，先行词people，故借助于do，故答案是don't want．
点评 在通读全文，基本了解文章大意之后，就可以动手填空了．填空的过程是一个判断空白处应填词语的"语义"（已给出词语的除外）和正确的语法"形式"的思维过程．遇到一时想不起来的空，先跳过去，等检查时再仔细对付，不要用太多的时间停留 在一个单词上．
