解析試題分析：
【小題1】根據(jù)題意可知，本處（1--3）的意思是“負責(zé)某事”be responsible for，又因為是過去時，所以填was responsible  for；我們都知道大本鐘，很大，所以本句的意思是“它不僅很巨大，而且非常精確”，“巨大的”就是of immense size （4--6）；根據(jù)前面一句“大本鐘很少不準確，”和本句中的“once，however”可知，這次沒能給出正確的時間，也就是說失敗了，所以（7--9）填failed to。
【小題2】根據(jù)30feet“30英尺”可知本處應(yīng)該是知道長度，故應(yīng)該用in length（1--2）；本句（3--6）的意思是“盡管坎貝爾達到了每小時305的速度”reach a speed of “達到…的速度”。所以本題填reached a speed of。
【小題3】本句的意思是“而有那么一個小男孩，他在逃學(xué)期間旅行了1,600英里，從而使上述所有逃學(xué)的孩子們都相形見絀了”put sb. To shame“使某人慚愧”根據(jù)句意應(yīng)該是現(xiàn)在完成時的被動語態(tài)，故（1--4）應(yīng)該填been put to shame；本句（5—6）的意思是“在千千萬萬夢想著逃學(xué)的孩子當(dāng)中，他可是創(chuàng)下了一個“不朽的記錄”“夢想做某事”是dream of。
【小題4】本句（1—4）的意思是“他花了幾年時間在巴黎附近徘徊，直到他在島上建立了他的家�！薄盎ㄙM數(shù)年在某處徘徊”應(yīng)該是spent years wondering around。本句（5—8）的意思是“因為有了威廉,莎士比亞和他的喜劇，英國劇院格外出名�！薄笆煜ぁ笔莣ell known；本句（9—10）的意思是“而且，在英國劇院仍舊流行表演結(jié)束后向舞臺上扔?xùn)|西。但是今天通常扔鮮花而不是錢或者蔬菜�！薄按�替，而不是”是instead of。
【小題5】本句（1—4）的意思是“漢常說說：‘很高興你這樣的天才開車，愛因斯坦博士�！�”本句是一個固定句型It’s one’s /a pleasure to do sth.所以本題填I(lǐng)t’s my /a pleasure to；本句（5—7）的意思是“看完那個協(xié)奏曲,莫扎特的爸爸震驚得說不出話來。”“太……而不能”是too…to，所以本題填too shocked to。本句（8—10）的意思是“例如，當(dāng)他旅行時，他很難記住訂的票放在了哪里”本句考查“做某事有困難”have trouble doing，又因為是過去時，所以本題應(yīng)該填had trouble remembering。
考點：本題考查默寫。
點評：本題實際是考查我們對課文的掌握情況，這就需要我們在平時的學(xué)習(xí)中熟練背誦課文或其中出現(xiàn)過的重點句型。做本題是應(yīng)該注意句型的時態(tài)以及固定短語的用法。
