38、are of表示“没有意识到；未察觉”，为固定搭配。4from考查介词。作者收到一条来自宾馆经理的语音信息，因此用from，表示“来自”。5that考查定语从句。空处引导定语从句，并在从句中作主语，修饰先行词something，故用that。6the考查冠词。特指前面提到的那个钱包，因此应用定冠词the。7found考查动词的时态。男孩在路上发现钱包，之后把它拿给爸爸。发现钱包这一动作发生在过去，故用过去时态。该句中的brought也是提示。8someone/somebody考查代词。根据空后的“who”可知应是人。表示“某人”，应用不定代词someone或somebody。9What考查感叹
39、句。此处表达作者的赞叹。what引导感叹句，句式为：Whatadj.n.主语谓语！how引导感叹句，句式为：Howadj.或adv.主语谓语！由“wonderful people”可知，应填What。10honesty考查词性转换。名词honesty作appreciate的宾语。.阅读理解A(2013徐州模拟)The year is 2094.
