这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一次飞机失事事件，Helen Monahan因为比往常早5分钟离开家接孩子逃过一劫；飞机驾驶者，外科医生Mr Campbell，也只受了轻伤。事故原因还在调查中。

【1】考查形容词性物主代词。句意：当海伦接到一个电话让她接自己孩子的同时顺便接朋友的孩子时，她抓起外套，朝马路走去。根据短语one’s own可判断空格处用形容词性物主代词，再根据句意此处应为“她自己的”，故填her。

【2】考查固定短语。句意：那就意味着要比她计划的早5分钟离开家，但竟然救了她的命。根据句意可知，此处应为“意味着做某事”，其固定表达为mean doing。故填leaving。

【3】考查时间状语连词。句意：她关上门的几分钟后，一架轻型飞机撞向她家空荡荡的房子。分析句子结构可知，此处填连词；联系上下文，是关门之后才发生了事故。故填after。

【4】考查宾语从句连词。句意：我尽量不去想，如果我在正常时间离开家会发生什么。分析句子结构可知，此处是宾语从句，从句___4___ would have happened缺少主语，且指物，故用连接代词what。故填what。

【5】考查介词。句意：这位52岁的外科医生从废墟中走出来，脸部和头部只受了轻伤。分析句子结构可知，此处填介词；再联系句意，此处表“带着/有轻伤”，介词with可以表示此意。故填with。

【6】考查现在分词作状语。句意：它的引擎熄火了，这架飞机一头扎进了一座铁路桥，撞上了海滨小镇上价值15万英镑的三居室房屋。分析句子可知，此处用非谓语动词，crash的逻辑主语it和它之间是主动关系，故用现在分词。故填crashing。

【7】考查时态和语态。句意：它掉到后院去了，和孩子们的玩具混在一起。分析句子结构可知，此处是定语从句的谓语动词，which指代前文的it，即车；车和扔之间是被动关系，故用被动语态，主语是单数，时态为一般过去时。故填was littered。

【8】考查定语从句。句意：Campbell先生在全国各地飞为他私人诊所的病人提供治疗，他说：“我刚到机场，两个引擎都熄火了，它开始急剧往一边偏离航线。”分析句子结构可知，此处是非限制性定语从句，先行词是Mr Campbell，指人，定语从句___8___ flies all over the country to treat the patients of his private practice缺少主语，故用关系代词who。故填who。

【9】考查推测句。句意：机翼尖肯定撞到了房顶，它有点粗糙。根据句意判断此处是对过去情况的肯定推测，其固定结构为must have done。故填have hit。

【10】考查不定式表目的。句意：安全官员昨晚检查了飞机，试图找出问题的所在。分析句子结构可知，此处用非谓语动词，再结合句意，检查的目的是发现问题，表目的用不定式。故填 to try。

第8小题是定语从句，定语从句的解题步骤定语从句解题步骤：找出先行词；分析定语从句成分（确定关系词）；考虑特殊情况

Mr Campbell, ___8___ flies all over the country to treat the patients of his private practice, said: “I was coming into the airport and both engines cut out. It began to yaw (偏离航线）quite sharply to one side.

1） 先行词是Mr Campbell，指人

2） 从句___8___ flies all over the country to treat the patients of his private practice缺少主语，所以使用关系代词who/that

3） 因为是非限制性定语从句，只能用who
