36、on their faces made us .Not until then did we understand how hard the teachers job was.A week of the voluntary work was short, it was long enough to stay in my memory.解析：1考查动词的时态。由时间状语Last summer可知，事情发生在过去，故谓语动词用一般过去时的形式。2考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处引导非限制性定语从句，在从句中作主语，修饰前面的整个句子。故用关系词which。3考查名词的数。knowledge是不可
37、数名词，没有复数形式。4考查非谓语动词。have tried和thought之间没有连词，故用其非谓语动词形式，且其和逻辑主语we之间是主谓关系。故将have改为having。5考查冠词。a little作限定词时修饰不可数名词，根据其后的kids可知，应删除a，此处little意为“幼小的”。6考查副词。副词修饰形容词、副词、动词或者整个句子，故用副词terribly修饰形容词noisy。7考查代词。与句子主语we呼应可知，此处用形容词性物主代词our。8考查介词。turn to sb. for help意为“向某人求助”。故在turned后加介词to。9考查形容词。embarrassed意为“尴尬的”，修饰人，而embarrassing修饰物，表示“令人尴尬的”。10考查连词。根据语境可知，前后句之间是逻辑上的转折关系。故用连词but。
