試題分析：
小題1:根據(jù)題意可知，本處（1--3）的意思是“負(fù)責(zé)某事”be responsible for，又因?yàn)槭沁^(guò)去時(shí)，所以填was responsible  for；我們都知道大本鐘，很大，所以本句的意思是“它不僅很巨大，而且非常精確”，“巨大的”就是of immense size （4--6）；根據(jù)前面一句“大本鐘很少不準(zhǔn)確，”和本句中的“once，however”可知，這次沒能給出正確的時(shí)間，也就是說(shuō)失敗了，所以（7--9）填failed to。
小題2:根據(jù)30feet“30英尺”可知本處應(yīng)該是知道長(zhǎng)度，故應(yīng)該用in length（1--2）；本句（3--6）的意思是“盡管坎貝爾達(dá)到了每小時(shí)305的速度”reach a speed of “達(dá)到…的速度”。所以本題填reached a speed of。
小題3:本句的意思是“而有那么一個(gè)小男孩，他在逃學(xué)期間旅行了1,600英里，從而使上述所有逃學(xué)的孩子們都相形見絀了”put sb. To shame“使某人慚愧”根據(jù)句意應(yīng)該是現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，故（1--4）應(yīng)該填been put to shame；本句（5—6）的意思是“在千千萬(wàn)萬(wàn)夢(mèng)想著逃學(xué)的孩子當(dāng)中，他可是創(chuàng)下了一個(gè)“不朽的記錄”“夢(mèng)想做某事”是dream of。
小題4:本句（1—4）的意思是“他花了幾年時(shí)間在巴黎附近徘徊，直到他在島上建立了他的家�！薄盎ㄙM(fèi)數(shù)年在某處徘徊”應(yīng)該是spent years wondering around。本句（5—8）的意思是“因?yàn)橛辛送��?莎士比亞和他的喜劇，英國(guó)劇院格外出名�！薄笆煜ぁ笔莣ell known；本句（9—10）的意思是“而且，在英國(guó)劇院仍舊流行表演結(jié)束后向舞臺(tái)上扔?xùn)|西。但是今天通常扔鮮花而不是錢或者蔬菜�！薄按�替，而不是”是instead of。
小題5:本句（1—4）的意思是“漢常說(shuō)說(shuō)：‘很高興你這樣的天才開車，愛因斯坦博士�！�”本句是一個(gè)固定句型It’s one’s /a pleasure to do sth.所以本題填I(lǐng)t’s my /a pleasure to；本句（5—7）的意思是“看完那個(gè)協(xié)奏曲,莫扎特的爸爸震驚得說(shuō)不出話來(lái)�！薄疤�……而不能”是too…to，所以本題填too shocked to。本句（8—10）的意思是“例如，當(dāng)他旅行時(shí)，他很難記住訂的票放在了哪里”本句考查“做某事有困難”have trouble doing，又因?yàn)槭沁^(guò)去時(shí)，所以本題應(yīng)該填had trouble remembering。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本題實(shí)際是考查我們對(duì)課文的掌握情況，這就需要我們?cè)谄綍r(shí)的學(xué)習(xí)中熟練背誦課文或其中出現(xiàn)過(guò)的重點(diǎn)句型。做本題是應(yīng)該注意句型的時(shí)態(tài)以及固定短語(yǔ)的用法。
