　　语篇解读：一个泥瓦匠在美国堪萨斯州的一所大学的体育场维修墙壁时，发现了一张写于1928年的纸条，这使我们对那时工人的生活状况有所了解。

　　1．an　空格后的中心词为名词note，为单数形式，故此处应填冠词，又因为数字88的发音是以元音音素开头的，所以应用an。

　　2．replacing　本句在连词while之后，填现在分词replacing，此处是省略，将其补全应为while he was replacing stones。

　　3．wrote　根据句中的时间状语"on Feb.2, 1928"可知，本句应用一般过去时，因此填write的过去式wrote。

　　4．hoping　五个泥瓦匠写了这张纸条。他们希望将来在他们死后，这张纸条被人们发现。根据语境可知此处表示伴随，故用动词­ing形式。

　　5．that　本句跟在名词hope之后，解释了它的内容，从句不缺少句子成分，因此填连词that。

　　6．protective　本空中两个动名词cleaning和covering并列。本空在动名词之前，因此应填形容词protective"防护的，保护的"。

　　7．to display　根据语境可知，本空应填动词不定式to display作定语，表示展示这一纸条的计划。

　　8．possibly　本空在情态动词之后，实义动词之前，应填副词possibly"可能"，作状语。

　　9．or　句中的either暗示前后两个句子之间为选择关系，因此填连词or。either ...or ..."或者......或者......"。

　　10．was built　根据句中的时间状语in 1922可知，本句应用一般过去时。the stadium和build之间为动宾关系，故应用被动语态。
