Answer 1

【答案】

【1】that

【2】on

【3】leave

【4】nor

【5】another

【6】took

【7】nothing

【8】hearing

【解析】

試題分析：短文大意：這篇短文作者以書信的形式講述了一次被延誤的、炎熱的、而且服務(wù)差的火車之旅，希望運(yùn)營商作出解釋并提高工作質(zhì)量。

【1】that根據(jù)語境，這是一個(gè)定語從句，從句中的引導(dǎo)詞依據(jù)先行詞而定。本句由于先行詞是指物，故可填that。

【2】on根據(jù)語境，本句存在轉(zhuǎn)折語義，即這趟列車以前從未晚點(diǎn)，但是上星期四卻沒有按時(shí)到站。故應(yīng)填on，on time按時(shí)。

【3】leave根據(jù)下文it was 10：30 am when it set off in the end的描述可知，這趟列車本應(yīng)該于9：10出發(fā)的，最終卻是10：30出發(fā)。故應(yīng)填leave。

【4】nor根據(jù)語境，火車站的官員既不向我們道歉，也不說明火車延誤的原因。neither---nor是固定搭配，故應(yīng)填nor。

【5】another根據(jù)語境，它又停了三十分鐘。所以填寫another。

【6】took根據(jù)語境，旅行花費(fèi)了五個(gè)多小時(shí)，所以填寫took。

【7】nothing根據(jù)語境，作者抱怨在火車上除了能買到飲料之外，其他什么也買不到。故應(yīng)填nothing

【8】hearing根據(jù)語境，乘客們都盼望著運(yùn)營商的答復(fù)。故應(yīng)填hearing，hear from sb收到某人的來信。
