【答案】was asked；was trying；am considering；punishing；haven't seen；to play；will clean；make；failed；can discover
【解析】【分析】大意：本文讲述一位著名科学家的故事，作者从冰箱里拿牛奶时，不小心把奶瓶掉下地了，牛奶溅到到处都是，但是他妈妈并没有因此惩罚他，而是借此教育了他，他学会了如果他抓紧瓶子顶部，他便可以把它拿起而不会掉下它。
（1）句意：当他被问为什么他会这样做，他给了答案。根据was，可知用过去时，ask 问，he和ask之间是被动关系，用过去时的被动语态，其结构为be+过去分词，主语是he，be动词用was，ask的过去分词是asked，故填was asked。
（2）句意：我正在努力从冰箱里拿一瓶牛奶的时候，突然我落下的瓶子，并且它掉了下来。此处表示我正在努力去牛奶的时候，恰好这时另一件事发生了，主句用过去将来时，主语是I，be动词用was，故填was trying。
（3）句意：他说“妈妈，我正在考虑怎样向你解释整个这件事。”consider考虑，动词，他妈妈金厨房时，他正在考虑怎样向妈妈解释，直接引语用现在进行时，其结构为be+现在分词，主语是I，be动词用am，consider的现在分词是considering，故填am considering。（4）句意：没有惩罚他，她说。“罗伯特，你搞得多么乱啊！我以前没有看见如此多的牛奶。根据常识，一般弄掉了牛奶，应该会受到惩罚，但是主人公的母亲并没有惩罚他，punish惩罚，动词，instead of后接动名词，punish的动名词是punishing，故填punishing。
（5）句意：没有惩罚他，她说。“罗伯特，你搞得多么乱啊！我以前没有看见如此多的牛奶。see看见，描述过去的动作对现在造成影响，用现在完成时，其结构为have+过去分词，根据not，可知用否定句，主语是I，构成否定句要借助助动词haven't，see的过去分词是seen，故填haven't seen。
（6）句意：因为牛奶已经被溅出，你想玩一会儿牛奶吗？would like to do sth想做某事，play玩，故填to play。
（7）句意：我们然后将会把它打扫干净。描述将要发生的事情，用一般将来时，其结构为will+动词原形，clean打扫，故填will clean。
（8）句意：无论什么时候你向这样搞得乱七八糟，最终你必须打扫干净。make a mess搞得乱七八糟，固定搭配，描述客观事实，用一般现在时，主语是you，动词用原形，故填make。
（9）句意：他妈妈然后说。”你知道，我们刚才不能用两个小手成功的拿两个大奶瓶。由于寻找拿奶瓶的方法，可知不能用小手拿起奶瓶，用fail，失败，fail to do sth不能做某事/失败做某事，根据just now可知，用一般过去时，fail的过去式是failed，故填failed。（10）句意：我们一起去院子里用水装满这个瓶子看是否你能发现一种拿它的方法。用水填瓶子的目的是看是否可以发现拿它的方法，discover发现，can可以，能，此次用can discover，可以发现，故填can discover。

Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a 1 of about eighty miles. It was late and I was in a hurry. However, if anyone asked me how fast I was driving, I'd say I was not over-speeding （超速）.

At one point along an open highway, I 3 a crossroad with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I got near to the light, it turned red and I braked to a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to 4 , the only human being for at least a mile in any 5 .
I started 6 why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being fined, because there was obviously no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no 7 in going through it.
Much later that night, after I 8 a group of my friends in Lewisburg and climbed into bed near midnight, the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of a contract （合同） we all have with each other. It's not only the 9 , but it's an arrangement we have, and we trust each other to 10 it: we don't go through red lights. Like most of us, I'm more likely to be 11 from doing something bad by the social conventions （社会习俗） that stand by it than by any law against it.
