【2】句意：他們很驚訝，都抱著各種各樣的想法來到大廳。

空后面的thoughts 是名詞，因此前面應該填一個形容詞。由語境和首字母提示可知，應該填：various；various 形容詞，各種各樣的；語境是：他們都抱著各種各樣的想法來到大廳。故答案為：various。

【3】句意：然后，他們被要求在各自的氣球上小心地寫下自己的名字，這樣氣球就不會爆炸。

【4】句意：那些沒有在氣球上標記自己名字的人被排除在比賽之外。

本題考查首字母填空。要求我們要通讀短文，對留空的句子進行全面的分析，看它在全文中所處的位置、作用和意義。這一遍閱讀要求是精心閱讀，要留心找出關(guān)鍵詞、短語或句子，還要結(jié)合所給首字母的提示，進行填寫，并注意單詞的正確形式。例如：第3小題，句意：然后，他們被要求在各自的氣球上小心地寫下自己的名字，這樣氣球就不會爆炸。根據(jù)“so that the balloons wouldn’t blow out.”這樣氣球就不會爆炸。可知，前面應該是小心地些下自己的名字。再結(jié)合首字母提示可知，應該填：careful；又因為前面的write是動詞，因此用副詞來修飾。故答案為：carefully。
