40、作表语。3colourful考查词性转换。形容词修饰名词，空处修饰名词“trampolines”，表示“五彩缤纷的蹦床”，故用形容词colourful。4frightening考查形容词。该句中的It指的是蹦床运动，结合be动词was可知，空处应用形容词frightening修饰物，表示“令人恐惧的”。5But考查连词。空处上文说一开始蹦床运动是令人恐惧的，因为我们几乎不能在蹦床上行走；空处下文说，当“我”开始跳时，“我”感到所有压力都离开了“我”的身体；根据句意可知，空处表转折，故用连词But。6lay考查动词的时态。根据该句中的“closed”可知，此处陈述的是过去发生的事情，故用一般过去
