答案与解析

【文章大意】　本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Louis下班回家后找停车位及第二天发生的故事。

1. 答案　longer

解析　考查比较级。空格后有比较级符号than，故空格处应填写long的比较级形式longer。

2. 答案　drove

解析　考查动词的时态。故事发生在过去，本句也是在描述那天晚上的事情，所以空格处应用一般过去时。

3. 答案　but

解析　考查并列连词。根据空格后all the spaces were full可知，此处指Louis进入停车场后，却发现停车位都满了。空格前后句之间表示转折关系。

4. 答案　looking

解析　考查非谓语动词。空格处与主句谓语drove back之间没有连词，故空格处应使用非谓语动词。主语He与look之间为逻辑上的主动关系，故应用其现在分词形式looking作伴随状语。

5. 答案　spaces
