43、ribly。第三处：考查主语从句。此处是主语从句，指使情况更糟的是，用what引导，故把That改为What。第四处：考查副词。此处表示我们坐的公交车出故障了，表示“出故障”用break down，故把up改为down。第五处：考查代词。根据上文可知，我和朋友去看电影，此处指我们坐出租车去电影院，故把They改为We。第六处：考查连词。句意为：我们拦住一辆出租车，匆忙赶往电影院。前后句不是转折关系，是顺承关系。故把but改为and。第七处：考查名词的复数。根据two可知，要买两张票，ticket是可数名词用复数，故把ticket改为tickets。第八处：考查句法。本句中有谓语动词said，根据句意可以用and连接两个并列句或者用非谓语动词，Kate和put之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词putting，故在put前加and或者把put改为putting。第九处：考查连词。the moment是连词，表示“一就”，后跟从句，that常省略。此处指我们一坐下电影就开始了。引导从句前面不加介词，故去掉at。第十处：考查冠词。have a great time “玩得开心，过得高兴”，是固定短语。故在had后加a。
