Answer 1

【答案】planned；exciting；surrounded；seats；to compete；to compete；for；slightly；were amazed；an
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了姐妹俩的一场旅行，同时介绍了加拿大和卡尔加里两座城市，通过本文，我们对旅行会产生一种新的看法。

⑴她们没有打算一路乘飞机，她们计划飞往温哥华，再乘火车从西向东横穿加拿大。由于这个计划是在旅行前就想好的，所以应该用过去时。故填planned。

⑵她们认为能够穿越整个大陆这件事很令人兴奋的，令人兴奋的，用动词的ing形式。故填exciting。

⑶有人说温哥华是被山脉和太平洋所环绕的加拿大里最美丽的城市，环绕在此表被动，be surrounded。故填surrounded。

⑷那天下午登上火车，姐妹俩被安顿在她们的座位上，由于是两个人两个座位，所以应该用名词的复数形式。故填seats。

⑸她们的下一站是卡尔加里，那里以逃跑事件而闻名。分析句子可以看出，后半句是一个非限制性定语从句，应该由which来引导。故填which。

⑹她们知道，牛仔们来自于世界各地在这一场逃跑中互相竞争，不定式作状语。故填to compete。

⑺许多牛仔们都有个天赋能够驾驭野马。Have a gift for对…有天赋，固定用法。故填for。

⑻她们了解到，大多数加拿大人居住在美国边境几百公里，加拿大的人口只轻微地超过三千万，over超过在此表示动词，应该用副词修饰。故填slightly。

⑼但是现在她们感到吃惊的是这个国家已经如此空旷，感到吃惊的amazed，此处应该用系表结构，由于文章采用过去时，主语又为复数，应该用were。故填were amazed。

⑽然后她们到了一个城市地区，没有特指哪个，应该用不定冠词。故填an。
