【导语】
本文讲述了一位智者要买鞋，从书上获得了一些买鞋的建议，用一个棍子量好了脚。

但是他把棍子忘家里，结果没有买成。

当他把这件事告诉卖鞋的店主时，店主告诉他：“买鞋不需要书本上的建议。

你只需要有自己的脚，一些钱。

”
45．
句意：他知道他必须买一双新的。

此处泛指“一双新鞋”，且new以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a。

故填a。

46．
句意：他收集了一些书籍，并花了很多时间阅读如何知道一双鞋是否合脚。

此处是结构“疑问词+动词不定式”作介词的宾语，know“知道”。

故填to know。

47．
句意：然而，他把棍子忘在家里，他家离商店很远。

leave sth. at home“把某物忘在家里”。

故填at。

48．
句意：当男子回到市场时，商店已经关门了。

close“关闭”，此处强调店铺的“关闭”状态，用be+形容词closed，描述过去发生的事情，且主语shop是单数形式，be动词用was。

故填was closed。

49．
句意：而那个时候，他的鞋子已经完全烂了。

修饰形容词短语“worn out”用副词completely“完全地”。

故填completely。

50．
句意：第二天早上，他光着脚走回市场，但是适合他的鞋子已经卖光了。

根据“he walked back to the market with bare feet...the shoes fit him had been sold out”可知前后两句是转折关系，用but连接。

故填but。

51．
句意：在买鞋之前，我必须对我的脚进行正确的测量。

介词before后作宾语用动名词buying“买”。

故填buying。

52．

人有两只脚，名词用复数feet“脚”。

故填feet。

53．

”故事发生在过去，用一般过去时，动词用过去式said“说”。

根据“than”可知前用形容词的比较级better“更好的”。

故填better。

55．lie down and rest
【解析】

why not do sth.“为什么不做某事呢”。

It’s difficult to do sth“做某事很困难”，cheer him up“使他振奋起来”。

故填is playing with。

59．have taken place
【解析】
【详解】
结合提示词“take”可知“发生”译为take place，再由“over these years”可知用现在完成时，其结构为have/has done，主语“changes”是复数，助动词用have，take的过去分词形式为taken。

故填have taken place。
