【解析】

试题分析：

  with   本句考查with复合结构，with a bag near him在他的旁边有一个包。

  reading 本句中的动词read与前面的an old man构成主动关系，则使用现在分词doing在句中做状语。

 that 本句是宾语从句that引导起这个宾语从句，在句中不充当任何成分，只起引导作用。

  used 本句中的动词use与前面的string构成被动关系，故使用过去分词used短语做定语。

 there 考查固定句式：There was no way that…没有…的方法。

  Furthermore/Besides  本句表示的是递进关系，besides/furthermore而且，更加；

 had tied  本句使用过去完成时，表示在此之前已经完成的事情。

  his 这里的his是指前面的Zhang Hui这是一个男性，故使用his。

 who/that 本句是一个定语从句，who/that在句中指代先行词作为句中的主语。

  simply 本句中用副词simply在句中做状语，修饰谓语动词。

考点：考查语法填空
