答案與解析
(一)本文講述“我們”出發去下一個鎮,因為夜幕降臨,天氣惡劣,路途不熟,加上地圖標記模糊,作者一時找不到目的地。后來約翰偶然發現燈光,終于如愿進城。
1. would find 考查謂語動詞的時態。過去將來時。
2. which / that 考查定語從句的關系詞。引導定語從句,并在從句中作主語,先行詞是the narrow road,故填which / that。

6. poorly 考查副詞的用法。 修飾動詞marked,用副詞,表示城鎮在地圖上標記得很“模糊”。
7. Although /Though 考查狀語從句連詞。意思是“雖然沒有什么食物了,但還是決定在車上過夜”。
8. finished 考查非謂語動詞。此處是with的復合結構,meal與動作finish存在被動關系,且表示完成,故用finished。
