【2】simply

【3】missing

【4】in

【5】who

【6】the

【7】They

【8】be given

【9】because

【10】names

【解析】

试题分析：这是一则记叙文。主要讲述了当你忘记或不知道某人的名字时，在英国可以用John Doe and Jane Doe来代替，但是在美国，经常用John来代替，并讲述了这些名字的来历。

【1】to worry考查日常用语。not to worry经常用于口语中，意为别担忧，没关系。可以看作是You needn’t to worry的省略形式。

【2】simply考查副词。修饰动词say，应该用副词，故用simply。

【3】missing考查非谓语动词。横线前的is为系动词，其后应接形容词作表语。miss为动词，形容词形式为missing，意为失踪的，丢失的。这句话的意思是在你不知道某个人的名字或者遗忘了某个人的名字的情况下，你可以使用这些名字。

【4】in考查介词。in the rain为固定短语，意为在雨中。

【5】who考查特殊疑问词。这句话要表达的意思是到底John Doe是谁？根据句意应用who。

【6】the考查冠词。它首次出现是在14世纪的英国法庭上。英语中世纪的表达方法为：定冠词+序数词+世纪。

【7】They考查代词。这里指代的内容是John Doe and Jane Doe，所以用They。

【8】be given考查谓语动词。这句话的意思是当一个人的身份禁止被泄露时会用到这些名字。所以应该用被动语态且情态动词后be动词用原形。故用be given。

【9】because考查连词。前面那句话的意思是在英国，不知道的人却被叫做John Smith。后面是在说明原因，所以用because。

【10】names考查名词。one of+名词复数，表示……中的一个。故用names。这句话的意思为这是因为John在英国中总是最普通的名字之一。

【知识归纳】

1.be missing/lost/gone丢失的。

possible---possibly； simple---simply; gentle---gently; terrible---terribly; true---truly; flexible---flexibly
