试题答案

【答案】

 lately→late

 ask→asked

 her→him

 ask前面加was

 and→but

 a glass前面加for

 few前面加a

 repeated→repeat

 astonishing→astonished

 what→how

【解析】

试题解析：

 lately意思“进来”，而late意思“晚的”，固定词组late at night意思“在深夜”。

 本文时态是一般过去式，所以用asked

 由前面的an Englishman可知是him

 用被动语态表示他被问

 和前句是转折关系而不是并列关系

 固定词组ask sb for sth意思“给某人要什么”

 few意思“很少的”，a few意思“少许”，有前面的句子a few minutes later

 因为前面有would，所以用动词原形

 astonishing意思“使人吃惊的”， astonished意思“吃惊的”

考点：考察时态、固定搭配、并列关系。

点评：考查考生在上下文中运用语法的能力和上下文串联的理解力
