Answer 1

【答案】

 poorly,

 where,

 sitting,

 ate,

 honest

 waiting,

 shocked,

 Unfortunately,

 free,

 that

【解析】

试题分析：

 poorly, 本句中使用副词修饰dressed；形成一个复合的形容词短语poorly dressed修饰名词gentleman.

 where, 本句是一个宾语从句，作为动词know的宾语。指没有人知道他是谁，也不知道他来自那里。

 sitting, 介词after后面要接动名词做宾语。

 ate, 本句的ate和前半句的stared形成并列关系，都使用一般过去时的时态、

 honest 固定搭配to be honest老实说；

 waiting, 固定搭配：mind doing sth介意做某事。动词mind后面要接动名词的形式、

 shocked, 本句中的形容词shocked是由动词shock转换而来，对人或者与人有关的事物进行修饰。

 Unfortunately, 本句使用副词unfortunately做状语对整个句子的情况进行修饰限制。

 free, 上下文串联。根据前句we could not change the bank note as it was too large可知他的钞票面额太大，我们找不开。所以只好免费请他吃饭了。

 That固定句式in the hope that…希望…；后面引导的宾语从句。
