Answer 1

分析 每次我去邮局，总是排在队伍的后边．买邮票时由于前面的老妇人太慢，我换了另条队，好不容易排到我时却到了午餐时间．

解答 1．when 考查连词．No matter when的意思是"无论何时"，故填when．
2．standing 考查非谓语．find是及物动词，其后要跟宾语myself，stand的逻辑主语是我，两者之间是主谓关系，所以用现在分词standing在句中做宾语补足语．
3．to finish考查不定式．在英语中，it takes/took sb．+时间+to do sth．，故填to finish．
4．that 考查宾语从句．后文句子是feel的宾语从句，从句中是个主谓结构的句子，所以用that来引导．．
5．another 考查代词． 在英语中，another泛指另一个．根据句意我决定加入到另一个队伍，所以答案填another．
6．long 考查固定结构．在英语中，as long as是固定搭配，意思是：和…一样长．
7．but 考查固定结构．在英语中，have no choice but to do sth．是固定搭配，意思是"除了…别无选择"．
 8．who 考查定语从句． 本句中的先行词是schoolboy在定语从句中做主语，所以关系代词用who来引导．
9．the 考查冠词．在本句中，由于counter是名词，需要一个限定词修饰，故填the，这里是特指．
10．said 考查时态和语态．分析句子，可知此处要用一个谓语动词．由于前面的动作都是表示过去，故用一般过去时，填said．
