【8】apologized

【解析】

试题分析: 本文是讲我和我兄弟去Miami(迈阿密)旅游，当到达目的地后，来到六个月前订的宾馆，却意外被告知订的房间是下个星期的，且该宾馆房间已订满。正当不知如何办时，经理出来了，将他们安排在留出来的VIP房间，且不另外收他们的钱，这真是个意外的意外。

【1】it 考查代词。指代前句中的Miami这个地方，应用it。

【2】reservation 考查词性转换。此处作宾语，应填名词，故写成reservation。

【3】were told 考查时态和语态。这里表示“我们被告知”，由上下文的时态可知，用一般过去时的被动语态。

【4】but 考查固定用法。not...but...意为“不是……而是……”。句意：我们被告诉说房间不是为那个星期订的，而是为下个星期订的。

【5】why 考查疑问词。句意：我不知道为什么会发生这样的事。故用why引导宾语从句。

【6】for 考查固定搭配。charge...for...是习惯搭配，意为“负责……”。

【7】surprisingly 考查副词。因本句已有作表语的形容词helpful，所以应当用副词来修饰形容词helpful，指“令人惊讶地，意外地”，故填surprisingly。

【8】apologized 考查时态。根据与其并列的动词gave可知，此处用过去式。

【9】where 考查定语从句。先行词是地点the beach，且在定语从句中作状语，故填where(=on which =and on the beach =and there)。

【10】sunburned/ sunburnt 考查词性转换。在表示“变化”的got后作表语，要用形容词；sunburn是名词，其形容词形式是burnt或burned。
