  A close friend of my mother's lives in the country in Yorkshire, and she often goes to the beautiful town of Harrogate to(1)________ her weekly shopping.After doing the shopping she usually has(2)________ in a small tea shop.One afternoon she was looking forward(3)________ having tea, so she went to her usual tea shop, but it was crowded with people from the market fair.The waitress felt rather sorry because there was(4)________ room for a regular customer, but she offered her a place at a small table, sharing with a middle-aged man.The lady was disappointed(5)________ wanted a cup of tea very much, so she agreed.The(6)________ showed her a table by the front window,(7)________ the man was sitting.The man smiled politely then returned to his paperback book.After a few minutes he got up and left.

  The lady was drinking her tea(8)________ she noticed that there was a piece of fruit cake on the man's plate.She looked around carefully but there was no sign of him.She was feeling very hungry and it seemed a dreadful shame to waste it, so she picked it(9)________ and ate it.Just as she was finishing the(10)________, the man reappeared and returned to the table.

答案:do,tea,to,no,but,waitress,where,when,up,cake
解析:

  解此类题应先掌握全文大意,再从上下文信息去推测答案,要能发现其中涉及到的常用句型和短语,最后再通读全文,检验答案的正确性。

  做阅读文章类的题目时都要先浏览一遍整个文章,以便了解它的大意,然后回过头来再仔细推敲每一个空白或选项,要注意上下文的联系。第一个空白后有一句“After doing the shopping”,可知这位女士是去购物,所以(1)处应写do。(2)处不难看出答案应是tea,因为后文指出她是在茶馆,而且提到她去“have tea”。(3)处应该是to,因为我们有短语look forward to, to为介词,而空格后正好是动名词形式,语法和意思上都符合。(4)前说到“The waitress felt rather sorry”,后面有提到让她和一位先生共用一张小桌子,可见没有地方了。所以此处合适的词应是no。(5)处应填but,是因为这位喝茶的常客“感到很失望”,紧接着描写她“非常想喝茶”,这之间显然是转折关系。(6)“showed her a table by the front window”这一工作应是女侍者的职责,所以此空应是waitress。(7)根据句意可知,此处应填关系副词引导非限制性定语从句。(8)因为此空之前动词用的是过去进行时态,所以此处应填when(并列连词),表示突然性。(9)pick up构成词组,也符合此句的意思。(10)根据上文提到的cake可知。
