试题分析：作者散步时捡到正在打电话的中年男子的钥匙，打断他打电话，他起初很生气，后来向作者道歉。

【51题详解】
the→a此处表示“一个中年人正在大声地打电话”，故把the改为a。

【52题详解】
Obvious→Obviously句意：显而易见，他今天过得不好。

副词修饰整个句子，故把Obvious改为Obviously。

【53题详解】
Before→After句意：他离开之后，我注意到他的钥匙在地上。

故把Before改为After。

【54题详解】
在picked和up之间加them 因为前面keys是复数形式，所以我把“它们”捡起来，故在picked和up 之间加them。

【55题详解】
whom→who此处非限制性定语从句中的关系词作主语，指人，故把whom改为who。

【56题详解】
little→few在这里seconds（秒）是可数名词，故把little改为few。

【57题详解】
interrupt→interruption形容词性物主代词后面用名词形式，故把interrupt改为interruption。

【58题详解】
去掉to show（展示）是及物动词，后面直接跟宾语，故去掉to。

【59题详解】
heard→hearing固定搭配on +名词/doing，表示“一……就……”。

故把heard改为hearing。

【60题详解】
hang→hung 句意：一听到我的话，他立刻挂断电话并向我道歉。

根据句意可知，此处用一般过去时态，故把hang改为hung。

【知识拓展】
1. (a) few和(a) little的用法：(a) few用在复数可数名词之前，(a) little用在不可数名词之前。

He took a few biscuits. (="several)" He took little butter. (="not" much) 比如第6小题little→few seconds（秒）是可数名词，故把little改为few。

2. 固定搭配：on +名词/doing，一……就……。

On hearing the bad news，she couldn’t help crying.一听到这坏消息，她放声大哭。

4. very改为more 考查比较级。

本句中有than，表示上下文中含有比较的意思。

句意：有足够多的钱，他们将会比之前更加容易地完成他们的教育。

本句中不定式做目的状语。

句意：需要更多的教师提高这些地区的教育。

名词interest和形容词interested通常都和介词in连用，指对....感兴趣。

9. 去掉that 考查句子结构。

动词“realize意识到”是一个及物动词，后面直接加宾语或宾语从句。

本句中名词短语the importance of education to their future直接作为realize的宾语，that是多余的。

10. continue改为continuing 考查动名词。

在英语中介词后面通常接名词或动名词做宾语，所以本句使用动名词continuing作为to的宾语。

三、阅读理解
18. I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles”(风格) o f directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”
Foreign tourists are often confused(困惑的) in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks(地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, th e Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.
It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
60. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually ______.
A. describe the place carefully
B. show him a map of the place
C. tell him the names of the streets
D. refer to recognizable buildings and places
61. What is the place where people measure distance in time?
A. New York.
B. Los Angeles.
C. Kansas.
D. Iowa.
62. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ______.
A. in order to save time
B. as a test
C. so as to be polite
D. for fun
63. What can we infer from the text?
A. It’s important for travelers to understand cultural differences.
B. It’s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.
C. People have similar understandings of politeness.
D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.
