28、境可知，此处表示“一个诚实的人”，表泛指。honest的发音以元音音素开头，故应用不定冠词an。3whoever考查主语从句。根据语境并分析句子结构可知，空处引导主语从句在主语从句中作主语，且表示“无论是谁”，故填whoever。4to get考查固定搭配。cant wait to do sth.“迫不及待地要做某事”，符合语境。5to show考查目的状语。根据语境可知，此处表示“去宫殿向国王展示”，所以用动词不定式表目的。6to考查固定搭配。to ones surprise表示“使某人惊讶的是”。7that考查固定结构。此处是“so . that .”结构，表示“如此以至于”。8except考查介词except的用法。根据语境可知，此处应用except，表示“除之外”。9However考查however的用法。根据语境可知，此处需用However，表示转折关系。10grow考查词形转换。情态动词could后应用动词原形。
