【解析】

文章讲述昨晚作者听到奇怪的声音很害怕，后来妈妈说是强风吹窗帘敲打窗户的声音。

【1】句意：昨天晚上9点40分，我正坐在椅子上，听到一个奇怪的声音让我害怕。

根据时间“At 9:40p.m. yesterday”可知，此句强调过去某时刻正在进行的动作，故用过去进行时（was/ were +现在分词）；由主语I可知，应用was；sit现在分词sitting。故填was sitting。

【2】句意：这是我第三次听到这个声音。

序数词常与定冠词the连用。three三，基数词，序数词third；the third time第三次。故填third。

【3】句意：我把自己藏在被子下面。

根据句意可知，应用反身代词myself。故填myself。

【4】句意：我吓得睁不开眼，直到它停下来。

too…to…太……而不能……，固定句型。故填to open。

【5】句意：当然窗户也不时地被敲打。

通读文章可知，时态是一般过去时。主语the window和动词knock是被动关系，故此句是一般过去时的被动语态（was/ were+过去分词）。主语“the window”是单数，故用was；knock过去分词knocked。故填was knocked。

【6】句意：我很惊讶。

此句是主系表结构，空格处应是形容词作表语。surprise使惊讶，动词；surprised惊讶的，形容词，一般修饰人。故填surprised。

【7】句意：如果再发生这样的事情，我会像我妈妈那样去做，找出真相。

find out弄清，查明，动词短语，后接名词作宾语。true真实的，形容词；truth真相，事实，名词。故填truth。
