【答案】61. being 62. which 63. finally 64. declared 65. to retire 66. have made
65. to retire考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境,表示她宣布她現(xiàn)在還沒有要退休的計(jì)劃。此處使用不定式作plan的后置定語(yǔ)。
66. have made考查時(shí)態(tài)。結(jié)合空格后面的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)over the years可知,在過(guò)去的多年里,她結(jié)交的朋友們,因此說(shuō)明已經(jīng)做完的事情,故使用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)。填have made。
67. but考查連詞。與前面的句子I work not because I have to中的not構(gòu)成一個(gè)固定結(jié)構(gòu),not…but…不是……而是……,故填but。
69. a 考查冠詞。根據(jù)前面We don't have any idea who put grandma forward我們不知道誰(shuí)提名了祖母,以及she was short-listed接到電話說(shuō)她入圍了,開始我們以為這是一個(gè)玩笑,a joke一個(gè)玩笑,故填a。
70. wonderful考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換(名詞變形容詞)。根據(jù)前面的We are so proud of her.我們?yōu)樗械津湴梁妥院溃治霰揪淇崭袂懊媸窍祫?dòng)詞is,后面跟形容詞作表語(yǔ),故填wonderful。
Since I was a kid, I`ve considered different job I would like to do. First, I wanted to be a fireman, whose uniform looked so coolly. Then, when I was in the five grade, I wanted to be a teacher because I liked my English teacher too much. When I studied chemistry high school, I reconsidered mg goal or decided to be a doctor. They were two reasons for the decision. One was that I was amazing at the fact that a sick person could feel much more better after seeing a doctor. And the other is that I wanted to help people in need.
