Answer 1

1. It。考查代词。设空处指代时间和天气，故填It。

2. a。考查冠词。offer sb. a lift意为“让某人搭便车”。

3. Strangely。考查副词。设空处在句 中作状修饰整个句子，需用 strange的副词形式。

4. response。考查名词。设空处在句 中作主语，需用respond的名词形

5. which。考查关系词。设空处引导 非限制性定语从句修饰the lady's hands ,且在从句中作主语，故填 which。

6. that。考查连接词。设空处引导宾 语从句且从句意义及成分均完整， 故填that。

7. stopping。考查动词-ing形式作宾 语的用法。Linda与stop之间是逻 辑上的主谓关系，且设空处作After 的宾语，故填stopping。

8. for。考查介词。设空处意为“为”， 故填for。

9. had left。考查过去完成时。leave 表示的动作发生在主句谓语动作 found之前，是“过去的过去”，故用过去完成时。

10. were。考查倒装与主谓一致。这 是一个完全倒装句，主，是f面 的two sharp knives ,谓语动词要 用复数形式。
