23、致。 and 前后为第 9页（共 11页）并列句， 文章讲述过去发生的事情， 时态用一般过去时； 主语 journey与 complete 为动宾关系， complete 要用被动形式， 主语 the journey是第三人称单数，综上可知填 was completed。4a考查冠词。carriage“车厢” ，为可数名词，此处泛指“一节车厢” ，所以要用不定冠词 a 表示“一个” ，故填 a。5 to move考查非谓语动词。 本句中用到了固定短语： begin todo“开始做某事” ，所以填 to move。6 that考查状语从句。so .that . “如此以至于” ，that 引导
24、的从句为结果状语从句，由句意可知，空后表示车厢太多引起的结果，所以填 that。7later考查副词。此处表示过了几分钟，later“之后” ，符合句意。8Arriving考查非谓语动词。 句子主语 he 与 arrive 为主谓关系，所以空处要用现在分词形式。9leaves考查名词的数。leaf“树叶”为可数名词，所以此处要用其复数形式。10After考查连词。 睡觉是发生在吃饭后，所以空处要用after 表示“在之后” 。四、读后续写Therearestillsomecoloniesofhumansspreadingacrosstheglobemostlyinthetriangularla
