　　语篇解读：史密斯先生右腿摔伤，不得不在医院度过圣诞节。新年前夕，史密斯先生康复出院。但在除夕之夜，史密斯先生与朋友酗酒狂欢后，回家路上又把左腿摔折了。

　　1．which　"in which he had an operation"是"介词＋关系代词"引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词hospital。

　　2．the　此处特指医院里面的气味，故要用定冠词the。

　　3．patient　空格中所填单词在句中作表语，需用patience的形容词形式。

　　4．later　"一段时间＋later"表示"一段时间以后"。

　　5．to leave　enough后常接动词不定式作结果状语。

　　6．outside　根据上下文可知，史密斯先生很高兴他能在医院外过新年了。

　　7．friends　从该空前的"all of"可知，此处应用friends。

　　8．himself　enjoy oneself是习惯搭配，意思是"玩得开心"。

　　9．drank　该空所在句中有"that night"具体的过去时间作状语，所以谓语动词用一般过去式。

　　10．where　该句意思是"现在你知道新年在哪儿能看到史密斯先生了吧"，故用where引导宾语从句。
