Answer 1

1.the

2.Because/Since/As

3.what

4.but

5.at

6.to

7.of

8.that

【解析】該短文講述了“我”由于不會說英語去紐約的時候帶來的各種不便，在經(jīng)歷了這些之后，“我”下定決心學(xué)好英語。

1. 考察定冠詞的用法。The定冠詞表示特定的人或事物，這里使用定冠詞，是表示第二天來看“我”所以用定冠詞。

2.Because/Since/As 考察原因狀語從句。結(jié)合句意因為我不會說英語，于是我不能告訴服務(wù)員我想要什么。所以這是個原因狀語從句，Because/Since/As可以用于引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句。

3.what考察賓語從句引導(dǎo)詞。What在賓語從句中做wanted的賓語。該句意思為：我不能告訴服務(wù)員我想要什么。

4.but 考察連詞。結(jié)合該空前后句意：我非常郁悶，開始做一些手勢但是服務(wù)員就是無法理解我。故填but。

5.at考察介詞。這個句子是一個that省略了的定語從句，結(jié)合句意我點了和旁邊坐的男子吃的一樣的東西。At the next table在旁邊的桌子。

6. to do sth。故填to

7. 考察介詞。of表示關(guān)于;屬于…的;由…制成。 huge crowds of people表示一大群人。故填of

8. 考察賓語從句引導(dǎo)詞。that在名詞性從句里都是不充當(dāng)成分的,沒有實際意義，僅僅只是連接作用。該句意思為：我決定了要學(xué)習(xí)說英語。

考點：考察介詞、連詞、賓語從句引導(dǎo)詞等。
