It was a very hot day. As I was sitting on the bench, waiting for class to begin, I saw Timothy waving a brown paper bag at Jenna. Happily, the two of them walked away to somewhere.
_33 _They stopped at a quieter area behind the library, "Strange, "I thought. "
第33题段落句首设空原则：具有承上启下的作用
注释：第一段段末设空原则也具有承上启下的作用
填空原则：优先选与上段段末、本段设空后有重复的词。
重复的词：同义词、近义词、意思相同.....
重复的词细分：名词、动词、形容词、比较级、最高级、反义词（反义词仅限意思表达一致）......
以谓语动词为例：一个句子有且只有一个谓语动词。谓语动词是主语的表达者，它决定着主语要表达的动作。
什么是谓语：带有时态的动词叫做谓语。
注意：动词原形也是一种时态。
因为C. Out of curiosity, I followed Timothy and Jenna.
D. Timothy was only collecting money from Jenna for the comic book.
F. I saw what the two of you had done.
三个选项都有含有与上段重复的名称，即Timothy 、Jenna、saw所以答案在C、D、F当中选。
上段：Timothy 、 Jenna.下段：？
上段：I saw ...下段I watched....
上段：the two of them walked away to... 下段：？
上段和下段都含有saw和watched，所以我们判断I和Timothy 、 Jenna在同一个地方。因为上文walked away to，如果I要再次watched，那么他就要跟着他们一起离开。而C选项的followed与walked away to意思一致，故第37题选C.
They must be up to something!" I watched them from behind a large tree and saw Jenna pass some money to Timothy. Timothy then passed the paper bag to Jenna, Both of them were smiling and seemed very happy._ 34 __Timothy must be selling answers to the holiday worksheets to Jenna!
第34题设空前是I watched，设空后是 Timothy must be...
must的用法
1、must
用法：指因需要、命令或强制而必得做某事，侧重于主观上的“必须”。
2、must be
用法：must be是表示被动，用来表示推测。
推测，即作者的想法。因为
B. A thought suddenly came into my mind.
中的thought与must be 语义重复。即推测的是作者的想法，故选Ｂ.
It made sense to me as Timothy was an excellent student and Jenna always needed help in her homework. I could not stop myself and jumped out from behind the tree. I cried,"__ 35_ "
非第一段段末设空原则：具有总结的作用。
填空原则：优先选与本段前句有重复的词。
前句写I watched，而
F. I saw what the two of you had done.恰好是watched的结果，总结了watched的具体情况。而saw与watched语义重复，故选F.
Timothy and Jenna were surprised. "What is happening?" Jenna asked. After I told them what I had thought, they laughed. I turned out that in the bag was a special comic book bought by Timothy's brother._ 36_ Once I heard the explanation,
段落中设空：优先选与段落前后有重复的词。因为D. Timothy was only collecting money from Jenna for the comic book. 中的comic book 与文章中I turned out that in the bag was a special comic book bought by Timothy's brother.中的comic book 语义重复，故选D.
I turned red. I wished the ground would swallow (吞下) me then to save me from the shame. I said sorry for my mistake and quickly ran away.__ 37
最后一段段末设空原则：具有总结全文的作用，即作者表达自己的观点。
填空原则：优先选与本段前句有重复的词或者与第一段段前有重复的词。
表达观点的选项有：
A. I will never trust them again.
E. I will never jump to conclusions again.
两个选项。根据文章I said sorry for my mistake and quickly ran away.中的sorry，可排出A，故选E。
A. I will never trust them again.
B. A thought suddenly came into my mind.
C. Out of curiosity, I followed Timothy and Jenna.
D. Timothy was only collecting money from Jenna for the comic book.
E. I will never jump to conclusions again.
F. I saw what the two of you had done.
G. Luckily, they invited me to join them.
