29、【语篇解读】本文讲述的是作者曾祖父年轻时的一些经历；作者在最后感激他没有做出错误的决定(登上泰坦尼克号)。1decided考查时态。事情发生在过去，故用过去时态。2where考查关系副词。where引导定语从句，在定语从句中作地点状语。3to earn考查不定式。此处用不定式表示将来，故选 to earn。4leaving考查动名词。after为介词，后跟动名词。5a考查冠词。根据文意可知，我曾祖父最终能买上一张船票。并非特指哪张船票，故用不定冠词a。6after考查连词。after引导时间状语从句，意为“在之后”。7months考查名词复数。month之前有“a few”修饰，故用复数形式。8was考查时态。“It wasthat”是强调结构，故事发生在过去，故用过去时。9thankful考查形容词。空格前有系动词was，故空格处应该填形容词作表语。10best考查形容词最高级。根据 “he had ever made”以及空格前面的定冠词the可知，空格处应该填best，表示“他所做过的最好的决定”。
