解析:
【分析】
做这类首字母提示型短文填空,首先要先通读全文,明确本文核心是介绍英国日常交际中频繁使用"sorry"的文化现象,把握整体语境后再逐空推导:先结合句子的时态、固定搭配逻辑,对应首字母提示判断所需单词的词性,再结合上下文语义确认词义,最后还要检查形式是否符合语法要求,比如时态变形、非谓语的正确形式等,避免出现拼写错误。
【解析】
1. 空前有was,本句为过去进行时结构(was+现在分词),结合"on the street"的场景,首字母w提示,表达走在街上的含义,填walking。
2. 前文提到年轻人继续往前走,转折后描述他转身向我道歉,固定搭配turn back表示转身,首字母b提示,填back。
3. 句意是即使十分匆忙,他也没有忘记说对不起,空前didn't后接动词原形,首字母f提示,填forget。
4. 句意是他一边弯腰向前捡硬币,一边对我说对不起,as引导时间状语从句,可表示"一边…一边…",首字母a提示,填as。
5. 当时我不理解店主为什么要向我道歉,因此我感到很惊讶,修饰人表示"感到惊讶的"用surprised,首字母s提示,填surprised。
6. 语境是在电影院入口我踩到了一位男士的脚,固定搭配step on one's foot表示踩到某人的脚,首字母f提示,填foot。
7. 这里指代我和被踩的男士两个人,我们两个人同时说了对不起,表"两者都"用both,首字母b提示,填both。
8. 固定搭配care about表示在意、在乎,句意是英国人不会太在意到底是谁的错,空前助动词don't后接动词原形,首字母c提示,填care。
9. 本句中"说对不起"在句中作主语,需要把动词变为动名词形式,首字母s提示,填saying。
10. 句意是或许这就是为什么我在英国的公交或者街上很少看到人们吵架的原因,固定结构that is why...表示"这就是…的原因",首字母w提示,填why。
【答案】
1. walking 2. back 3. forget 4. as 5. surprised 6. foot 7. both 8. care 9. saying 10. why
【知识点】
首字母短文填空;固定短语搭配;动名词作主语
【点评】
本题围绕英国道歉礼仪的文化主题设空,整体语境连贯,多数空依托初中阶段常见的固定搭配和基础语法点,既考查学生对上下文语义的理解能力,也兼顾了时态、非谓语等基础语法的掌握,同时还能帮助学生了解英语国家的日常交际文化,仅少数空需要注意词性变形,区分度合理。
