December”可知，應(yīng)用一般過去時(shí)，故填flew。2what考查主語從句的連接詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，空處引導(dǎo)主語從句且在從句中作主語，所填詞意為“的事物”，故填what。3their考查代詞。make ones way意思是“前往”，且主語為people，故填their。4amazing考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。amaze意思是“使驚奇”，它的形容詞amazing意思是“令人驚奇的”，常用來修飾物。由shops可知應(yīng)填amazing。5a考查冠詞。此處是what引導(dǎo)的感嘆句，句中experience作名詞，意為“經(jīng)歷”，是可數(shù)名詞，所以要用不定冠詞修飾，故填a。6called考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。call與wax museum為動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，故此處應(yīng)用過去分詞作后置定語，故填called。7figures考查名詞的數(shù)。此處表示“那里有許多名人的蠟像”。由“a lot of”可知，此處要用可數(shù)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式，故填figures。8between考查介詞。between . and表示“在之間”。9unfortunately考查副詞。根據(jù)空后的“we couldnt really see well”可知，應(yīng)用提示詞的否定形式，且要用副詞來修飾整個(gè)句子。故填unfortunately。10to take考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。wait to do sth. “等待做某事”，為固定用法。*完形填空。閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出可能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。It was 3 am，a cold and wet night，on August 21,2010.I had just left a local club to travel ten kilometers home when I
