Answer 1

分析 这是一篇记叙文．文章讲述了一个年轻人在寻找他的叔叔，但是史密斯夫人去说他叔叔早已离开了；但是但年轻人走后，他的叔叔却出来了，原来是因为他叔叔怕他借钱，所以躲起来了．

解答 61．looking 考查动词的时态．联系上下语境并根据"I am （61）l____ for my uncle"中的for猜测可知，look for为固定短语，意为寻找，前面有be动词am，要用现在进行时．故填looking．
62．since 考查介词的用法．根据He has been away from home 可知这是一个现在完成时态，后面跟时间段，故用since two days ago．故填：since．
63．told 考查动词的语态．根据空格前的was和空格后的by可知，本句是被动语态．"他打算一直待到本周末"是被告知的内容．故填：told．
64．was 考查动词的时态．根据yesterday可知，本句是过去时，be ill"生病"为生病．故填：was．
65．at 考查介词短语的用法．根据he caught the train back to London 可知，他立刻回来．at once"立即，马上"．故填：at．
66．know 考查动词的用法．根据上文史密斯夫人的叙述年轻人不知他的叔叔在哪，所以他说，"他应该让我知道"，故填know．
67．letter 考查名词．由关键词wrote及下文saying that I was coming可知，我给他写过一封信．故填：letter．
68．him 考查代词．根据前面的The young man 可知此处代词代指这个年轻人，作watch的宾语，用宾格形式．故填：him．
69．well 考查副词的用法．修饰实义动词did，故用副词；根据"Many thanks，Mrs．Smith．"he said laughing．可知，他觉得史密斯夫人做的很好．故填well．
70．needs 考查动词的用法．根据he will look for me everywhere可知，老人的侄子需要钱就到处找他，主语是第三人称单数，填needs．
