It was a bad night for Lewis, whose work had taken long than expected. It was late and he was tiring when driving home. He turned into his building’s parking lot, so all the spaces were full. He drove back onto the street, looked for a parking space. The next block were empty. He didn’t see the “No Parking” sign. He drove in, parked and hurrying home. The next morning he went back for his car. It was going. He telephoned the police to say his car had stolen.

【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述路易斯某一天晚上工作很晚才回家，结果大楼停车位已满，便到另一个

街区停车。第二天却发现车子不见了，向警察报案后结果发现因他的车停在了私人停车场而

被警察带走了的故事。

1. work had taken long than expected，形容词比较级+than表示比…更…，该句要表示比预期花的时间更久，故long---longer

2. was late and he was tiring ，tiring 是令人疲惫的，tired 意为感到疲惫的，本句要表达他感到疲惫，故tiring--tired

3. turned into his building’s parking lot, so all the spaces were full.前句表示他拐入他的大楼停车场，后句表示所有车位都满了，两句应表示转折关系，应用but，故so---but

4. drove back onto the street, looked for a parking space.后句很明显是做伴随状语，ed形式是表示被动，而后句逻辑主语为he，他寻找空位应是主动语态，要用ing形式表示主动，故looked---looking

5. next block were empty.主语为The next block 是单数，谓语动词应该用单数，且本文是过去式，故were--was

6. drove in, parked and hurrying home.本句为三个谓语动词并列，前两个是用过去式，故第三个动作应该用过去式，故hurrying---hurried

7. was going.这句话是表示它正在走，而根据上下文应表示它不见了的意思，gone为形容词表示不见了、走了的意思，故going--gone

8. telephoned the police to say his car had stolen 他的车是被偷了，应用被动语态，而该句却是主动语态，故had stolen--had been stolen

9. police told him what it had happened 本句为what领导的宾语从句，意思为警察告诉他发生了什么事，what应该是做had happened 的主语，不需要it在充当主语了，故what it had happened去掉it

10. had to pay 40 dollars to get her car back.本文主人公为男性其her表示的是她的，应用his，故her—his
