【正确答案】①because；②around；③left；④angry；⑤moment

【答案解析】①联系空格的上下文可以看出，上文译为“我需要在上午9点前到机场接我的叔叔Ali，然而我＿＿＿＿和朋友逛街把这事忘了。”空格应填入表示原因的连词，因此此处应填because。答案为because。

②空格后为表示时间点的词，所以空格处应填介词或副词，因此应选择around。答案为around。

③空格处需要填入一个动词过去分词与前面的had构成过去完成时，因此可以在handed与left中选择。联系上下文，此处应填left，译为“那个时候他已经离开机场打车去我父亲那里了。”答案为left。

④结合空格后面的hewas，可以知道空格处应填形容词作was的表语，因此应在important与angry中选择。联系上下文，此处应填angry，译为“从父亲的脸上，立刻就能看出他有多生气。”答案为angry。

⑤联系上下文，可知此处应填moment，atthatmoment译为“在那一刻”。答案为moment。

【正确答案】⑥handed；⑦pickingup；⑧promise；⑨important；⑩lesson

【答案解析】⑥在句子“myfatheraskedmetositnexthimand________”中，and为并列连词，所以空格处应填动词过去式，与and前面的asked保持时态一致，因此此处应填handed，译为“父亲让我挨着他坐下，送给我一块手表做礼物。”答案为handed。

⑦besorryaboutnotdoingsth.译为“因没有做某事而感到歉疚”。联系上下文，此处应填pickingup。答案为pickingup。

⑧联系上下文，此处应填promise，译为“我答应您，以后再不会让您失望了。”答案为promise。

⑨当形容词修饰不定代词时，二者的位置关系是不定代词＋形容词。因此此处应填入形容词important，译为“我希望今天你学到了一些重要的东西。”答案为important。

⑩本题考查固定搭配learnalesson，译为“吸取教训，引以为戒”。答案为lesson。

【参考译文】

我需要在上午9点到机场接我的叔叔Ali，并把他带到我父亲家。然而我因为和朋友逛街把这事忘了。那天大约上午11点我想起接我叔叔的事了，那个时候他已经离开机场打车去我父亲那里了。我下午两点到达我父亲家。从父亲的脸上，立刻就能看出他有多么生气。

在那一刻，我深深地感到羞愧。我问候了他们之后，父亲让我挨着他坐下，递给我一块手表做礼物。然后他对我说，“John，你今天跟朋友玩儿得开心吗？”我回答说，“是的，父亲，我很抱歉没有接Ali叔叔。”他说，“你是一个粗心和不替别人着想的人。Ali叔叔现在很累了，你应该为此感到惭愧。”我很不好意思说道，“父亲，我答应您，以后再不会让您失望了。”他说“我希望今天你学到了一些重要的东西，这块表将给你作为一个提醒物。”他告诉我带走这块表并用它帮助我的生活有条理。这样，我从父亲那学到了一个非常重要的教训：做守时并且为别人着想的人。
