问题 I have set out to travel from the Atlantic Ocean to the foothills of the Bolivian
Altiplano, from the once famous coffee town of Santos to Santa Cruz de la
Sierra. I have made other great railway journeys by the chance. This is to be a 【M1】______
proper journey with a beginning and a prearranging destination. It is early 【M2】______
March and I have just left the sharp frosts of a lately Italian winter for the 【M3】______
steamy heat of the tail end of a tropical rainy season. Santos is the club Pele,
the King of Football, played for. Beyond the sinister lines of grey cargo ships at 【M4】______
the horizon, there is a halo: Pele’s. His fame is the pride of his nation. Every few
minutes, people come up and ask me my name and if I like Santos. Between
assuring strangers how fond I am for their city, I think about it and decide that I 【M5】______
really am. I feel at home in Brazil. I can even evoke my paternalistic 【M6】______
grandfather, the moustachioed Senor Mendonca from Belem, to put me further at 【M7】______
ease. Bloated as I am with coconut water and roasting under 100℉(38℃), the 【M8】______
sensual hum of warring radio stations is lulling me sleep. I have a train to catch, 【M9】______
though. I have been wanted to make this journey for so many years that I am 【M10】______
resolved to make it now, no matter what.

【M2】
选项
答案prearranging改为prearranged
解析 (prearrange及物动词“预先安排”，prearranging做形容词修饰名词时表示“正在预先安排的”，含有主动意味。根据上下文可知，这里的destination是“预先安排好的”，是被动含义。因此应将动名词形式改成过去分词形式，显示动作完成的状态。)
