根据从句时态可知，主句也应用一般过去时。故填住It。

4.答案与解析：waiting考查固定结构。此处为“see+宾语+宾补”复合结构，see

sb.doingsth.为固定搭配，意为“看见某人正在做某事"。故填waiting。

5.答案与解析：from考查介词。根据语境可知，此处是指“来自"，from意为“来

本空在句中作状语，bad为形容词。故填badly。

8.答案与解析：a考查不定冠词。句意：我在西安逗留的20天是一个很好的经历。

experience作“经历”讲时，是可数名词，此处是指一次经历，表泛指。故填a。

宽我对多元化理解的机会。achancetodo…意为"做……的机会”，to后接动词原形。故填

broadeno

关系，要用被动语态。根据第二个从句的时态可知要用一般现在时，故填aretied。
