He was so friendly. 35 he offered to take me to his uncle’s seafood restaurant, just by the beach.
答案：(B) Then
語意順承：「他人很友善，然後他提議帶我去他叔叔的海鮮餐廳」，Then（然後）表示動作順序承接；Even（甚至）、When、While 都不能這樣單獨構成句首順承語氣。
本題大考中心未公布逐題答對率，以下不談數據，只談觀念。
四個選項擺進句首唸起來都不算突兀，而 When 與 While 是最常見的句首連接詞，很容易第一眼就選它。這一格的關鍵不在選項本身，在空格前面那個標點。
先看標點：空格前面那一句 He was so friendly. 是用句號收尾的完整句子；空格後面 he offered to take me to his uncle’s seafood restaurant 又是一個完整的句子。既然前面已經用句號斷開了，空格就不是用來連接兩個子句的，它要的是一個能單獨出現在句首、標示語意方向的副詞。When 與 While 先出局：這兩個是從屬連接詞，後面接了子句之後還要再配一個主要子句，而本句只有一個完整句子，沒有主要子句可以配。剩下 Even 與 Then，用語意分：Even（甚至）要用在遞進到一個極端的例子上；而本句只是把事情往下講——他很友善，接著他提議帶我去餐廳——是時間順序的推進，用 Then（然後）。整篇是一則敘事，Then 在敘事裡的工作就是把一個接一個的動作串起來。
When、While：從屬連接詞，形態上就接不出「一個獨立句子」這種結構。Even（甚至）：需要一個「連這個都……」的遞進關係，但「提議帶我去餐廳」並不比「他很友善」更極端，只是接著發生的下一件事。
then（然後、接著）、offer to V（主動提議做……）、take sb to（帶某人去）、by the beach（在海灘旁）、after that（在那之後）、a seafood restaurant（海鮮餐廳）。
It was my first day in this beautiful tropical city. 31 I was walking to the beach, a stranger came up to me and tried to shake my hand. "Don't you remember me, my friend?" he said. But I couldn't 32 his face at all. I didn't know a soul in the city. I had just arrived by plane and still had jetlag. "I 33 you at the airport. I work there at the customs. How are you enjoying our beautiful city?" I couldn't remember him but I was too 34 to tell him. He was so friendly.
35 he offered to take me to his uncle's seafood restaurant, just by the beach. I thanked him 36 but he insisted that we should go there for dinner. "You'll love the seafood there," he 37 me. "And it will be a dinner to remember."
So we went to the restaurant and sat by a window 38 the bay. The dinner was great indeed, but the coffee they served was quite different. In fact, it tasted very strange...
Anyway, it was not 39 10 o'clock the next morning that I finally woke up. But I had no idea where I was. All my money was 40 and my "friend" had even taken my watch and my shoes!
