【解析】

本文出自小說《金銀島》節(jié)選，主要講述的是我和媽媽返回旅館拿走船長(zhǎng)的金子和文件被發(fā)現(xiàn)的經(jīng)過。

【1】

句意：但是每個(gè)人都是如此害怕以至于沒有人有勇氣和我們一起回到旅館。

根據(jù)“no one had the courage to come back to the inn with us”可推斷，是因?yàn)楹ε滤�以才不敢和我們一起回到旅館，害怕afraid，故答案是afraid。

【2】

句意：我們回到旅館，鎖上了身后的門。

根據(jù)下文“ but thankfully it was locked.”可推斷，前后照應(yīng)，故此處應(yīng)是鎖上 lock，本文用的是一般過去時(shí)，故此處也需用lock的過去式locked，故答案是locked。

【3】

句意：我們很快就找到了掛在他脖子上的一串鑰匙。

根據(jù)“ a string… his neck.”結(jié)合常識(shí)可知，是掛在他脖子上的鑰匙，因?yàn)殍�匙要掛在脖子上，需要繞脖子一圈，也就是圍繞，around圍繞，故答案是around。

【4】

句意：里面裝滿了衣服和其他東西，但在底部，有一些文件和一袋金子。

根據(jù)常識(shí)可知，打開箱子找東西，先看到的是上面，再是下面，at the bottom在底部，固定短語(yǔ)，故答案是bottom。

【5】

句意：我母親開始數(shù)錢，這錢是船長(zhǎng)欠我們的。

根據(jù)“the money the captain owed us”及“c”開頭的單詞，結(jié)合常識(shí)可知，這里表達(dá)的意思是數(shù)錢，也就是數(shù)數(shù)，即count，故答案是count。

【6】

句意：我突然聽到外面盲人手杖的敲擊聲。

根據(jù)上文“我們鎖上了門”及下文“We heard him knocking on the door”可知，聲音是來自門外，outside外面，故答案是outside。

【7】

句意：我們聽到他敲門并嘗試開門，但幸好門是鎖著的。

根據(jù)“to open it”及“t”開頭的單詞，可推斷，這里是試著要打開門，即try to do sth.，因?yàn)?/span>and連接的并列句，所以同一主語(yǔ)下，前后動(dòng)詞形式要保持一致，根據(jù)“knocking”可知，此處是trying，故答案是trying。

【8】

句意：我說著并拿走了文件。

根據(jù)下文“The boy took the papers.” 男孩拿走了文件，可知，這里與后文照應(yīng)，故答案是papers。

【9】

句意：旅館里有七、八個(gè)人，包括那個(gè)瞎子。

根據(jù)句意可知，這七、八個(gè)人中包括瞎子，包括including， 現(xiàn)在分詞做狀語(yǔ)，故答案是including。

【10】

句意：有人打開了箱子。

根據(jù)上下文，可知，我們打開了箱子，拿走了東西，被他們發(fā)現(xiàn)了，所以此處是：有人打開了箱子，someone某人，故答案是Someone。
