"31. Вставьте пропущенное слово 1) wrapped2) laid3) piled4) packed A QUIET HOUSE It was April and John Moore was studying for an important examination. As the date of the exam 30 _______ nearer, he decided to go somewhere and read by himself. He did not want the amusements of the seaside, or the beauties of the countryside. He decided to find a quiet, little town and work there undisturbed. He 31 ______ his suitcase with clothes and books. Then he looked in a railway timetable for a town that he did not know. He found one, and bought a ticket to go there. He did not tell anyone where he was going. After all, he did not want to be 32 ______. That is how Moore arrived at Benchurch. It was a market town, and once a week it was quite busy for a few hours. The rest of the time it was a very quiet and sleepy place. Moore spent his first night at the only hotel in the town. The landlady was very kind and helpful, but the hotel was not really quiet enough for him. The second day he started 33 ______ for a house to rent. There was only one place that he liked. It was more than quiet – it was deserted and very lonely. It was a big, old seventeenth-century house. It had barred windows like a prison, and a high brick wall all around it. It would be hard to 34 ______ a more unwelcoming place. But it suited Moore perfectly. He went to find the local lawyer, who was responsible for the house. Mr. Carnford, the lawyer, was very happy to rent the house to him. “I’d be glad to let you have it free,” he said, “. It’s been empty so long that people have started to 35 ______ a lot of foolish stories about it. You’ll be able to prove that the stories are wrong. Moore didn’t think it was necessary to ask the lawyer for more details of the foolish stories. He paid his rent, and Mr. Carnford gave him the name of an old servant to 36 ______ him. He came away from the lawyer with the keys of the house in his pocket."
Классно, давай разберёмся по шагам.
Подсказка по 31-му пропуску
- Смысл: «Он ... свой чемодан одеждой и книгами.» Это обычное выражение для подготовки к путешествию.
- Частотная сочетание: обычно говорят "pack a suitcase" — упаковать чемодан.
- Временная форма: в тексте история ведётся в прошедшем времени (was studying, decided), поэтому здесь должно быть глагол в форме прошедшего времени: "packed".
- Сравниваем варианты:
- wrapped — упаковывать в обёртку, не подходит к “suitcase” в значении самого чемодана.
- laid — уложил бы (часто употребляется как laid out), звучит неестественно в контексте "поместил в чемодан".
- piled — навалил бы кучу, но с чемоданом звучит не по-деловому.
- packed — наиболее естественно и грамматически корректно: He packed his suitcase with clothes and books.
И поэтому правильный выбор для 31-й пропуск: packed.
Если хочешь, могу пройтись ещё по остальным пропускам (30, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36) и объяснить, почему именно там подходят другие варианты.
