【语篇解读】 作者想卖掉额外的一张电影票，挣得的20分留给自己用。不料，票却被一个年轻人骗走了。
1．endless 此处为housework的前置定语，因此用形容词；且根据语境可知母亲因忙于没完没了的家务不能和“我”一起去看电影，此处应填endless。
2．hurriedly 此处修饰动词reached，所以填hurry的副词形式。
3．who 此处为非限制性定语从句，因先行词为man，指人，故填who，并在从句中作主语。
4．an 此处指“一张额外的票”，为泛指意义。且ticket为单数名词，又因为extra的发音是以元音音素开头的，所以填an。
5．from 此处表示从钱包里拿钱出来，因此用介词from。
6．but “I'm sorry，but...”为常用句式，but后引出道歉的原因。
7．before/until/till 他提议让作者等一会儿直到他在商店里把钱换好。也可以用before，表示在钱换好之前让作者等一会儿。
8．him 此处指那个男青年，作宾语，所以用宾格形式。 9．puzzled 此处用形容词作伴随状语，表状态。
10．had cheated cheat的动作发生在realized之前，因此用过去完成时。 Ⅱ.阅读理解
