【答案】61. being 62. which 63. finally 64. declared 65. to retire 66. have made 67. but 68. saying 69. a 70. wonderful
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了一位90岁的英国女士Irene Astbury，因为仍然坚持每周上班，获得年度“年度女性奖”称号的故事。本文以积极工作为切入点，宣传劳动精神，引导考生培养劳动意识。 61. being考查非谓语动词。分析空格前面介词for，后面要求使用v-ing的形式，作介词的宾语，故填being。 62. which考查非限制性定语从句。分析句子中的the pet shop是真正的先行词，指物，空格后面的句子中opened缺少宾语，故填which引导非限制性定语从句。
63. finally 考查副词。分析have 63 （final）been acknowledged语境可知，此处是副词修饰动词，作状语， 故填finally。
64. declared 考查时态。分析本句的结构，缺少谓语，同时结合后面的句子中的had可知，使用一般过去时。填declared。
65. to retire考查非谓语动词。根据语境，表示她宣布她现在还没有要退休的计划。此处使用不定式作plan的后置定语。
66. have made考查时态。结合空格后面的时间状语over the years可知，在过去的多年里，她结交的朋友们，因此说明已经做完的事情，故使用现在完成时。填have made。
1
67. but考查连词。与前面的句子I work not because I have to中的not构成一个固定结构，not…but…不是……而是……，故填but。
68. saying考查非谓语动词。分析say与前面的call之间的关系可知，它们构成了主谓关系，填saying，作后置定语，修饰前面的call。
69. a 考查冠词。根据前面We don't have any idea who put grandma forward我们不知道谁提名了祖母，以及she was short-listed接到电话说她入围了，开始我们以为这是一个玩笑，a joke一个玩笑，故填a。 70. wonderful考查词性转换(名词变形容词)。根据前面的We are so proud of her.我们为她感到骄傲和自豪，分析本句空格前面是系动词is，后面跟形容词作表语，故填wonderful。

68. hugely 69. were 70. listening
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在旅游时所居住的那家主人对他们的热情款待，传递了友善和和谐的情感。
61. so考查固定句型。分析结构可知，此处是结果状语从句，修饰副词hard应该填so。“so …that”句型，表示“如此……以至于”。
62. to get考查非谓语动词。根据结构判断此处是句型“It takes sb. some time to do sth.”，意思是“做某事花费某人多长时间”。
63. of 考查介词。固定短语：a pack of 意为“一群”。句意：首先欢迎我们的是一群狗的叫声，确切地说是七只狗。
2
64. who 考查定语从句。分析结构可知，masters是先行词，后面是定语从句。从句中缺少主语，判断用关系代词。又因为指代表示“人”的名词masters，所以填who。
65. recommended 考查动词时态。 从结构可知and连接两个并列谓语动词，所以判断空格处所填的词应该和shared一致，故填 recommended。
66. competition 考查词性转换。形容词interesting应该修饰名词，而且空前有不定冠词an，故填单数名词competition。
67. traditional 考查词性转换空格处于名词stories前，判断应该用形容词作定语。故填traditional。 68. hugely 考查词性转换。空格在句中位于形容词前，所以判断用副词作状语。故填hugely。
69. were invited 考查动词时态和语态。根据语境判断句子是讲述过去发生的事情，句中需用一般过去时；而且主语we和动词invite之间是被动关系，所以用一般过去时的被动形式。故填were invited。
70. listening 考查非谓语动词。分析结构可知，逗号后是非谓语短语作状语，而逻辑主语we和动词listen之间是主动关系，判断用现在分词。故填listening。

I'm not sure _____61_____ is more frightened, me or the female gorilla(大猩猩）that suddenly appears out of nowhere. I'm walking on a path in the forest in the Central African Republic.

【答案】61. which 62. the 63. loudest 64. looking 65. challenged 66. scientist 67. for 68. them 69. meant 70. to stay

61. 考查宾语从句。句意：我不确定哪一个更害怕，我，还是突然出现的雌性大猩猩。此处为宾语从句，空格处表示选择，所以用which表示“哪一个”
62. 考查冠词。此处为固定短语at the top of，此处表示以最大的肺活量喊叫。 63. 考查最高级。根据后面的of all可知，他声音最大，所以用最高级loudest。 64. 考查动词。动词avoid后要加doing。此处表示避免直接看他的眼睛。用looking。
65. 考查非谓语。根据语境可知，此处表示不直视他的眼睛，他就不会感到被挑战性。feel为系动词，表示“被挑战”，用过去分词challenged。
66. 考查名词。根据语境可知，我是一名科学家。scientist科学家。
67. 考查动词短语搭配。search for是固定搭配，表示“寻找”，表示“我”在寻找“我”研究的三只西部低地大猩猩。
68. 考查代词。此处做find 的宾语，所以用宾格them。
69. 考查谓语动词。分析本句的句子成分可知，本句缺少谓语，再根据总体时态可知要用一般过去时，所以用meant。
70. 考查非谓语动词。固定短语allow sb to do允许某人做某事，应该用to stay。 4.[2017·全国卷Ⅲ]
