Ⅰ.完形填空
(2023·重庆市南开中学月考)
There's an old saying to the effect that if something can go 1.C , it probably will.Recently my wife and I took a trip by ship to Hawaii.It was a nice trip and we enjoyed it but the cabin we were in had problems.
One day，I awoke in the small hours of the morning and 2.A my way across the dark cabin to the washroom.On the way I stepped 3.B a puddle(水坑) on the carpet.Then I found that there was a slow but 4.B drip of water coming from the ceiling.So I called the ship's office.Someone came, addressed the problem, pronounced it 5.B and went away.That night the ceiling was dripping again.I called and someone came.This time they 6.C the ceiling apart and spent some time searching inside with tools.They pronounced the problem solved and went away.The ceiling dripped once again.We put a towel on the floor to catch the 7.A .
Though the dripping had 8.B the next day, some black and sticky things came out from the main drain(排水管) in the ceiling.Someone came and 9.A the ceiling.
The following day there was a note on our desk expressing 10.D for the problems we had been having.The note was 11.B down by a bottle of nice wine.We were very 12.D to accept the peace offering and just owed the experience to bad 13.A .
In general, cruising on large ships is a wonderful experience and, in the main, it was a great trip.I suspect, 14.C , that if all this had happened to someone on their first cruise, they would have sworn never to go by sea again.Although I hope I don't end up like this on our next trip, don't let the 15.C things beat you down.
