這次的國考英文克漏字考題很長喔，剛開始看真是抗拒作答，不過呢克漏字考題當中，至少會有一題是考文法或者片語，其它多是根據前後文的句意來判斷答案是甚麼的考題！所以不要看到通通都是英文就放棄克漏字喔！

Shortly after the war, my brother and I were invited to spend a
|
|
|
few days with an uncle who had just returned from abroad. He had
|
|
|
rented a cottage in the country, although he rarely spent much time
|
|
|
there. We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage
|
|
5
|
had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken
|
|
|
and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp.
|
|
|
On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper, __1__ to
|
|
|
the stories which our uncle had to tell of his many adventures in
|
|
|
distant countries. I was so tired after the 1ong train journey that I
|
|
10
|
would have preferred to go to bed; but I could not bear to miss any of
|
|
|
my uncle’s exciting tales.
|
|
|
He was just in the middle of describing a rather __2__ experience
|
|
|
he had once had when his small sailing boat was carried out to sea in
|
|
|
a storm, when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the
|
|
15
|
one where my brother and I were going to sleep.
|
|
|
“It sounds as if the roof has fallen in!” exclaimed my uncle, with
|
|
|
a loud laugh.
|
|
|
When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom
|
|
|
door, we could see nothing at first because of the thick __3__ of dust
|
|
20
|
which filled the room. When the dust began to clear, a strange sight
|
|
|
met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling had collapsed, falling right on
|
|
|
to the pillow of my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen
|
|
|
to my uncle’s stories; __4__, I should certainly have been seriously
|
|
|
injured, perhaps killed.
