【解析】

試題分析：在答題中，應(yīng)首先略讀一下短文，了解一下短文的大致意思，然后把幾個選項含義理解透，尤其注意意思相近，表達有交叉的選項之間的區(qū)別。然后再細讀短文，把答案填入合適位置。答題時可以把含義相近的幾個選項輪流填入同一處位置，反復(fù)閱讀，反復(fù)體會，找出最佳選項，對于實在沒有把握的小題可以留待最后完成。完成短文后，再認真通讀一遍全文，看看上下語意是否通順，是否符合邏輯關(guān)系。

1.1】went missing 本短語中的go是一個系動詞，missing是一個形容詞，go missing失蹤；句義：美國的警察加快尋找失蹤的15歲男孩Justin的節(jié)奏。

2.…；由于看見了一些令人困惑的光線，人們對于這件事情表現(xiàn)出了濃厚的興趣。

3.disappearance 上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)第一句的go missing失蹤，說明本句表示的是男孩的失蹤，故使用動詞disappear的名詞disappearance。

4.

5.elly肯定是做夢了，又讓她上床睡覺了。

6.

7.

8.…相信轉(zhuǎn)換而來的形容詞。
