「答案与解析」
本文讲述的是一个饭店里的服务员面对一个要求做这做那的顾客却不生气,且不乏幽默感的故事。
1. things.因为many后面一定是复数名词,方框内可以有复数形式且能与动词do(做) 搭配的只things(事) 最好,另外,由下段的第一句中He did everything中也可得到启发而填出答案。容易误选的是work,但它作“工作”解是不可数名词,没有复数形式。
2. giving.在方框中能接双宾语(sb+sth) 的只有give,因为前面有was,所以要用其现在分词giving.
3. First.由后文的Then可知。First…Then…先……然后……。
4. felt.句中无谓语动词,所以应选动词;hot是形容词,不是定语就一定是在系动词后作表语。方框中能作系动词的有feel(感到) 和turn(变成),主语是人,当然是“感到”热,另外,全文用的都是过去式,所以填feel的过去式felt.
5. to turn.上文hot时是turn on,这次cold当然就是to turn off了,又因为ask sb to do sth(叫某人做某事),所以填to turn off.
6. nearly.因为for half an hour意思已经完整了,只能填表示约数的nearly(差不多) 了。
7. helpful.能与kind并列,且根据上下文的意思可知用helpful(乐于助人的)。
8. him.指乐于做事又不生气的当然是指那位服务员,在asked后作宾语,所以用he的宾格形式him.
9. Finally.有一个逗号可知应填副词。
10. waiter.因为是the waiter回答的,显然是问the waiter.
