答案及分析:
1.从农夫的陈述可以看出,那是一个下雨天。应当填写rainy。
2.由农夫所说的“But I didn't see him mending his bike in the middle of the road.”Henry正在修理自行车。要填mending。
3.Henry讲的“His car knocked me down and hurt my arm.”可以证实,农夫的汽车把Henry撞倒了。故应填car。
4.由“But the doctor said there was nothing serious to him.”来看,此处应当填写serious。
5.Henry的父母让他装作胳膊举不起来,自然是想让农夫多赔付一些钱。该空填写money为宜。
6.Henry的父母想不出好主意,自然要向律师求助。该空应填help。
7.律师想让他的当事人胜诉,当然要教Henry在法庭上怎么说。这里应填what。
8.从“Slowly the boy lifts his arm below his nose.”可以看出,Henry说他的胳膊只能举到鼻子下面。应填lift。
9.从后面Henry把手臂举过头顶来看,法官在问他能把手臂举多高。要填high。
10.Henry不知道这是法官的圈套,忘记律师给他说的话,把手臂举过了头。所以,这里应填forget。
