试题分析：本题测试的是时态，解题方法与（23）题相同。这道题还需要词汇的辨析能力学生可能对于stare一词比较陌生，结果把stare into误认为此step into，into，got into或stat into。　如果把这个语篇扩大一些，由两句变成三句，也许要容易理解一些：I don’t think Jim saw me; he _______ into space . He turned to the door and found me standing there only when I made a loud noise to draw his attention .　这样一来，即使学生不认识stare一词，也能猜出stare有“看”的意思，因为语篇中先后出现的saw me， turned to the door和draw his attention自然会把 into的“走过去”的含义转变为“看进去”的意思。当然，这里，最重要的还是平时要大量接触语言实践，这样才能对于诸如see into，look into，fix one’s eyes on sth., glance into, glare into等等词汇一见如故，才能猜测出生疏词汇stare的意思。
