【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是约翰妻子病了他去请医生，由于他比约好的时间早到了，为了守时，他到不远的一个广场等待，结构遇到了一个迷路的女孩，他帮女孩找到了父母，结果没按时到达医生那里。

1.，故用made sure。

2. would meet at five 和下句I’ll wait for a moment. It’s good to keep time可知他认为到的有点早了，故应填early/earlier。

3.他把车停在医生家前面，看见不远处有个热闹的广场，他去那里坐下享受黄昏的阳光，使自己平静下来。讲述故事用一般过去时，故填sat。

4.

5.他见一些孩子在嬉戏，一些妇女在开心的交谈。考察短语 each other 彼此，互相。

6. lost。

7. her home 送回家。

8.迈克匆忙赶到医生家，医生见到他时生气的说“你迟到了”。考察连词，用when理解为医生见到他时，也可用after理解为医生见到他后。

9.你迟到了，你为什么让我等你二十分钟？keep sb doing 让某人做某事，考察非谓语动词，故填waiting。

10.约翰除了一句对不起外什么都没说。考察介词 but,强调其它的人或事物，eacept强调所除外的人或事物，结合短文这两个答案都合理，故填but/escept。

考点：阅读填空。
