Answer 1

答案：
解析：

1．all→whole。考查作“全部的，总的”讲时。all与whole的用法区别。all作定语时，常放在the的前面，如all the year, whole则放在the的后面。 　　2．had和lost之间加been。被动语态。 　　3．take→taking。考查while作“当……时候”讲时引导进行时态的用法。连词while后接进行时态时，常省略主语和助动词，该句是“while he was taking…”的简略形式。 　　4．Wallet ∧ have→must。考查情态动词表推测的用法。“must+完成时不定式”表示对过去情况的估计和推测。 　　5．去掉on。 　　6．本行没有错。 　　7．by→in。根据对句意的理解进行介词辨析。“newspaper”不是“钱包”行为的执行者，因此不能用by，而要用表示方位的介词in，表示“在……里（内）”。 　　8．he和lost之间加had。 　　9．考查对上、下文的理解。no→yes。用yes承认自己是贼，才符合行文逻辑。 　　10．考查词汇辨析。much→more。此处more作“又”解。作“一些、许多”讲时，some与much不能连用且在此处与句意不符。但some可与“more”连用，表示“又一些”讲，与上、下文意思相符。
