25、“动词副词”构成的短语,宾语是代词时,放在二者中间。此处指代的是iPhone 6s,为单数,故用it。3考查副词。作者没有找到失主,这是不幸的,故填Unluckily/Unfortunately/However。4考查冠词。这里特指捡到手机的房子,先行词前要用the。5考查时态。那两个人没有丢手机,表示“过去的过去”,应该用过去完成时。6考查名词的数。作者提起了电话本里的几个人名,故填names。7考查情态动词。他们也有那几个人的电话,这个手机“肯定”是他们朋友的,must一定,表示肯定推测。8考查词性转换。修饰动词tried用副词。9考查从句引导词。is后缺少表语,表语从句中的do缺少宾语,
