【解析】

試題分析：世界最糟糕的游客是舊金山的保羅。一次他從美國坐飛機到他在意大利的家鄉去見某個人。飛機在紐約機場停頓一小時加油。保羅以為他是在羅馬，所以就下了飛機。沒有人在那里迎接他時, 保羅以為也許交通堵塞使他的朋友們遲到了。在尋找他們的地址時，保羅發現舊的"羅馬"已經改變了很多。他發現了許多高大的現代建筑物而不是舊的。他還發現很多人講英語，但不是意大利語和主要街道標志是用英語寫的。保羅知道英語很少。所以他用意大利語問一名警察去公共汽車站的路。他碰巧遇見了一位也出生在意大利的警察，用意大利語回答了他。坐一輛公共汽車近十二個小時后，司機把他交給另一名警察，但這次，這名警察只會說英語。所以保羅問警察為什么雇傭了這么多說英語達人當警察。當他被告知他是在紐約時他不相信，為了讓他登上去意大利的飛機，他只好坐著警車被送往機場。

1.根據后面的內容可知，他從美國到他在意大利的家鄉去見某個人是坐飛機去的。所以填flew。

2.保羅以為他是在羅馬，所以就下了飛機。so 所以。

3.保羅以為也許是交通堵塞使他的朋友們遲到了。heavy traffic 交通堵塞。

4.他發現了許多高大的現代建筑物而不是舊的。根據后面的old 可知填現代化的modern。

5.5】...主要街道標志是用英語寫的。謂語構成被動語態時，was后面要用動詞的過去分詞written。

6.6】根據后面的故事可知：保羅知道的英語很少。little表否定意義。

7.7】他碰巧遇見了一位也出生在意大利的警察，用意大利語回答了他。用同一種語言：in the same language。

8.8】坐一輛公共汽車近十二個小時后，司機把他交給另一名警察，根據下文可知是another。

9.9】當他被告知他是在紐約時他不相信。believe相信。

10.10】他只好坐著警車被送往機場。謂語構成被動語態時，was后面要用動詞的過去分詞sent。

考點：詞匯運用。
