There are times when people are so tired that they fall asleep almost anywhere. We can see a lot of people sleeping on the bus or train on their way home   1.   work in the evening. A man will be reading the newspaper, and seconds later it appears as if he is trying to eat it. Or he will fall asleep on the shoulder of the stranger sitting next to him. Another place where   2.  (plan) short sleep goes on is in the lecture hall   3.   a student will start snoring so loudly that the professor has to ask  4.   student to shake the sleeper awake. A more   5.  (embarrass) situation occurs when a student starts falling into sleep and   6.   weight of the head pushes the arm off the desk, and the movement carries the rest of the body along.

Police reports are full of accidents that occur when people fall into sleep and go off the road.   8.   the drivers are lucky, they are not seriously hurt.

Answer 1

【答案】

 

1.from /after

2.unplanned 

3.where

4.another

5.embarrassing

6.the

7.worst

8.If

9.was raining

10.nothing

【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述了人在疲惫不堪的时候，没有什么事情能够阻止他们入睡。并举了很多滑稽恐怖的例子来说明这个观点。

1.from /after前句“在回家的路上”说明他们是下班以后，固定词组：下班after work.

2.unplanned 根据前句he will fall asleep on the shoulder of the stranger sitting next to him说明这些人随时都会睡着，那么都是在没有计划unplanned的情况之下发生的事情。

3.where 考查定语从句，后面的短语从句的句子很完整，故使用where引导定语从句修饰先行词the lecture hall。

4.another 根据上文的a student睡着，可知教授要求另外一个学生把他叫醒。Another另外一个。

5.embarrassing 上文所举的在课上打呼噜的事情是一件令人尴尬的事情，embarrassing令人尴尬的。

6.the 用定冠词the特指the head的重量。

7.worst上面的例子是在课堂上所发生的，可能不会产生可怕的结果，下面所举的例子是开车时睡着了，s是与生命有关的事情，那是最为糟糕的事情。故使用最高级worst。

8.If根据后半句they are not seriously hurt没有人收到严重的伤害，那么前面是条件句，如果运气好。

9.was raining  根据上文她的车掉进了水里，她在醒来的时候以为是在下雨。

10. nothing 当人们在疲惫的时候，没有什么能够阻止他们入睡。
