Mrs. Smith said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.

On 42．was 43．what 44．herself 45．reading
46．to practise 47．hobbies 48．suddenly 49．excited 50．a
【语篇解读】
本文主要讲述了由于暴风雨Ann不得不在家里度过周日的经历。
【详情解析】
41．句意：在周末，她不去上学，通常和她的朋友们在外面玩。根据空后的“she doesn’t go to school and usually plays outside with her friends”可知，应该是周末不上学，固定搭配on weekends意为“在周末”，首字母大写，故填On。
42．句意：昨天是周日，有暴风雨。根据空前的“there”可知，应该是there be句型表示“有”，由“yesterday”可知，时态是一般过去时，“a storm”是单数，所以空缺处用is的过去式was，故填was。
43．句意：在完成作业后不知道该做什么。根据空后的“to do after she finished her homework”可知，Ann不知道该做什么，疑问词+不定式作know的宾语，what“什么”，故填what。
44．句意：Ann尽力使自己在家里处于忙碌之中。固定搭配keep oneself+形容词“使某人自己处于某种状态之中”，所以空缺处用she的反身代词herself“她自己”，故填herself。
45．句意：然而，她在阅读了几篇文章后停止了阅读。固定搭配stop doing sth“停止做某事”，
所以空缺处用动词read“阅读”的动名词reading作宾语，故填reading。
46．句意：然后她决定练习吉他。固定搭配decide to do sth“决定做某事”，所以空缺处用动词practise“练习”的不定式to practise作宾语，故填to practise。
47．句意：它是她的其中一个爱好。根据one of+可数名词复数表示“……其中之一”可知，空缺处应该填的是名词hobby“爱好”的复数hobbies，故填hobbies。
48．句意：当Ann正在看雨时，电话突然响了。根据空前的“rang”可知，空缺处应该填的是sudden的副词suddenly“突然地”修饰动词，故填suddenly。
49．句意：Ann感到兴奋。根据空前的“felt”可知，空缺处应该填的是excite的修饰人的形容词excited“兴奋的”作表语，故填excited。
50．句意：她和她爸爸玩得真开心！固定搭配have a good time“玩得开心”，故填a。
