13、动词“fall”发生在主句谓语动词“said”之前, 表示“过去的过去”, 应用过去完成时。故填had fallen。3. 【解析】rushed。考查并列谓语。句意: 大卫挂了电话, 然后冲向儿子的教室, 结果发现儿子正在全神贯注地听老师讲课。此处为并列谓语, 与谓语hung up并列。4. 【解析】relieved。考查词性转换。句意: 他突然意识到自己被骗了, 但是他感到如释重负。“felt”在本句中是系动词, 其后应用形容词, 故填relieved, 意为“感到宽慰的, 放心的”。5. 【解析】an。考查冠词。分析句子结构和句子大意可知, 此处泛指“一个手术”, 空格处应填不定冠词, 由

15、合上句可知, 空格处缺少宾语them, 代替前一句中的“such tricks”。故填them。10. 【解析】colleagues。考查名词的数。根据句中“such as Tom, Peter and so on”可知, 本句说的是好几个同事, 应用复数。故填colleagues。. 完形填空One day, a kind woman happened to say something that hurt her best friend for many years.
