Answer 1

【文章大意】本文是一篇記敘文，主要講述了一個(gè)老太太成功保持了自己無駕駛違章記錄的故事。

that考查名詞性從句。that引導(dǎo)同位語(yǔ)從句，在從句中不作句子成分，對(duì)同位語(yǔ)fact的內(nèi)容進(jìn)行解釋和說明，符合語(yǔ)境。

a考查冠詞。offence此處為具體名詞，表示某一次具體的行為，且第一次在文中出現(xiàn)，故用不定冠詞修飾。

stopping考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。介詞后應(yīng)用動(dòng)名詞形式，故將stop變?yōu)閟topping B卩可。

severely 考査詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。修飾動(dòng)詞的詞為副詞，故用se?verely 修飾謂 語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞 looked ，符合語(yǔ)境。

to drive 考查固定搭配。too— to…意為"太.... 而不能……"，符合語(yǔ)境，故用不定式to。

why考查定語(yǔ)從句。此處why引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句，在從句中作狀語(yǔ)，修飾先行詞the reason，符合語(yǔ)境。

it考查代詞。此處it代指上文的the red light。

at 考查介詞。at one's first attempt意為"在某人第一次嘗試時(shí)"，符合語(yǔ)境，故用介詞"。

successfully考査詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。修飾動(dòng)詞的詞為副詞，故用副詞successfully修飾動(dòng)詞done。

was dismissed 考查動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)和語(yǔ)態(tài)。dismiss和句子主語(yǔ)Mrs Taylor邏輯上構(gòu)成被動(dòng)關(guān)系，且根據(jù)前后時(shí)態(tài)一致的原，與remained呼應(yīng)，故用一般過去時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，即 was dismissed
