You may have returned the book late to the library before. It is normal to pay a small fine, but how many would you have to pay if the book was returned 65 years late ?

This is a problem what John R. Rogers High School in Washington, US had to deal with recently. A copy of Gone With the Wind that was 65 years overdue was finally returned back to its library. However, the school said on December 2nd that it would not charge late fees of the book, which would have added up about $475 (2941 yuan).

The long-overdue book is checked out of the library of the high school in 1949, and seemed to disappearing until it was found in Maine, US, by Wayne Hachey. He found the book in his father’s basement and then offered to send it back to the school. “We are delightful to have the book back, but we wonder how it has been,” Lori Wyborney, principal of the school, said.

【8】disappearing--disappear

【解析】

試題分析：本文講了歸還圖書館的書的事情，延遲還書要扣錢。延遲時間最長的一本書從1949年開始的，最近歸還。

【1】the--a考查冠詞。還書，return a book，泛指一本書，故用a

【2】many--much考查副詞。這里指支付的錢，用how much

【3】what--which/that考查代詞。這里是problem的定語從句，缺少的成份是指代problem的，故用which/that

【4】back去掉考查介詞。Return to就是指歸還，已經(jīng)有了back的意思，故省略掉back

【5】of--for考查介詞。Charge money for sth為某物付錢，固定搭配，用for

【6】added up加to考查介詞。Add up to增加到，這里指罰款增加到了475美元

【7】is--was考查動詞。這篇文章是過去時態(tài)，故用was

【8】disappearing--disappear考查動詞。Seem to do sth 似乎做某事，加動詞原形，故用disappear

【9】delightful--delighted考查形容詞。這里是修飾人很開心，故用delighted

【10】how--where考查連詞。但是我們很疑惑這本書在哪兒，表示地點，用where
