【答案】

【2】C

【3】B

【4】E

【解析】

短文大意：短文讲述了一次事故。一个22岁的女孩把（五万块）钱装在一个信封里去银行，正准备穿过一条繁忙的街道时，突然一阵大风把她的裙子吹了起来。为了拉住裙子，她立即把手放在裙子上。但是信封掉了下来，风把钱吹到了空中。在路过的人的帮助下，她拿回了大部分钱。经理告诉她从那时起要穿裤子上班。

【1】句意：上周，花园城的许多人对此感到非常惊讶。

根据前一句：Money really fell from the sky! 句意：钱真的能从空中掉下来! 再结合题干：Many people in Garden City were（50）surprised at this last week．可知住在花苑城市的很多人对这种情况很吃惊，又根据题干关键词surprised吃惊的，是形容词，可用副词来修饰，以该空填一个副词；又因所给选项extremely是“非常，很”的意思，符合题意，故该空选D。

【2】句意：她正准备穿过一条繁忙的街道，突然一阵大风把她的裙子吹了起来。

根据题干：She was ready to cross a busy street when the strong wind（51）her skirt up．可知固定短语blow…up突然吹起，又因when引导的时间状语从句，主句是一般过去式，所以从句也用一般过去式，而blow的过去式是blew，故选C。

【3】句意：为了拉住裙子，她立即把手放在裙子上。

根据题干：To hold skirt down，she put her hands on her skirt（52）．可知为了抓她的裙子下来，她立即把她的手放在裙子上．所以该空需要填一个副词做时间状语，选项immediately立即，马上，符合题意，故选B。

【4】句意：她把所有能找到的钱都收了起来，在路过的人的帮助下，她拿回了大部分钱。

根据前一句：She all the money she could find and with the help of the people passed by．可知钱全落在马路上，她在路人的帮助下，她收集她能找到的所有钱．又根据全文语境可判断该句是一般过去时，所以该空填collect的过去式，故选E。
