Australians speak English, but in 【8】(they) own way. For example, when they say "G' day!" and " No worries.", they mean " Hello!" and "Don't worry about it. It's not a problem ! "

【解析】

這是Tony寫給父母的一封信，信中向父母介紹了自己在澳大利亞旅行的情況，文中講述了澳大利亞的風(fēng)土人情。

【1】句意：第一天，我們乘飛機游覽了巖石，我很驚訝它是多么的大呀！

根據(jù)下文“how big it was!”可知，這里是對……感到吃驚；短語be surprised at…對……感到吃驚；根據(jù)題意，故答案為at。

【2】句意：在一天的不同時期，巖石的顏色會變成深藍色、紫色、黃色和紅色。

根據(jù)下文“the rock turn dark blue, purple, yellow and red”可知，巖石的顏色是變化的，colour名詞顏色。這里用復(fù)數(shù)形式。根據(jù)題意，故答案為colours。

【3】句意：土著人是最早生活在澳大利亞的人，他們相信靈魂創(chuàng)造了世界。

根據(jù)上文“The Aborigines are the people that have lived in Australia”可知，這里是說土著人最早生活在澳大利亞。這里用early的最高級earliest，意思是“最早的”，根據(jù)題意，故答案為earliest。

【4】句意：他們喜歡所有的運動，但是他們最喜歡的運動是澳大利亞足球。

根據(jù)“that they like most”可知，這里是說他們最喜歡的游戲，這里是定語從句修飾game，這里是特指用定冠詞the。根據(jù)題意，故答案為the。

【5】句意：他們也喜歡去海灘游泳和沖浪，或者只是躺在陽光下。

根據(jù)上文“swimming and surfing”是動名詞，可知下文的lie，動詞，躺，也是動名詞，lying，根據(jù)題意，故答案為lying。

【6】句意：雖然現(xiàn)在是十二月，但這里是夏天。

根據(jù)“it is summer over here.”可知這里是用although/though引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句。根據(jù)題意，故答案為Although/Though。

【7】句意：田野和山上有許多羊。

lots of+名詞復(fù)數(shù)；sheep名詞，山羊，單數(shù)是一樣的。這里用用復(fù)數(shù)sheep，根據(jù)題意，故答案為sheep。

【8】句意：澳大利亞人說英語，但用他們自己的方式。

根據(jù)下文“For example, when they say "G' day!" and " No worries.", they mean " Hello!" and "Don't worry about it. It's not a problem ! "”可知，這里是說澳大利亞人說英語，但是用自己的方式。one’s own+名詞，表示某人自己的。這里用they的物主代詞their。根據(jù)題意，故答案為their。

【9】句意：我騎的那匹馬很懶，所以我遠遠落后于其他馬。

根據(jù)上文“The horse that I rode was lazy”可知下文是我被落下了，這里用一般過去時態(tài)的被動語態(tài)，leave的過去分詞是left。根據(jù)題意，故答案為left。

【10】句意：旅途很愉快。

根據(jù)題意可知，這里是現(xiàn)在完成時，其結(jié)構(gòu)是have/has done的形式。be的現(xiàn)在分詞是been。根據(jù)題意，故答案為been。
