Answer 1

分析 本文叙述了Amelia是一个社会工作者，每天上班的路上，她不得不经过贫民窟．一天，她遇到了衣衫褴褛的Sam，Sam想让她帮助找他的爸爸．因为他的爸爸在他两岁前就离开了他们．Amelia深受感动，到了他家，发现他妈妈快要死了．受Sam妈妈的托付，给他找一个家．Amelia因为没有孩子，就把Sam领回了家．通过这件事让我们知道：人与人之间应该互相帮助，看到别人有困难时，我们应积极伸出援手．

解答 61．答案：worker．根据Sam knew she was the head of social services，可知Amelia是社会服务机构的领导，故知她是一个social worker社会工作者，在这里应该用work的名词形式worker．故填worker．
62．答案：changed．根据This-one day when she met a ragged（衣衫褴褛的）boy named Sam．可知此处她改变了对这份工作的态度，故用动词change，根据one day，所以这里动词应该用过去式形式，故填changed．
63．答案：could．根据Sam knew she was the head of social services，可知Sam知道她是社会工作者，因此知道她能帮助他，在这里表示过去所发生的事情，故此处用情态动词can的过去式形式could．故填could．
64．答案：looking．根据I’m--for my dad．”可知在这里的意思是我正在找我的爸爸．短语look for“寻找”，因为位于am后，故此处用现在分词looking．故填looking．
65．答案：cold．根据His hands were so--，可知在这里的意思是他的手那么冷，此处位于副词so后面，故用形容词cold．故填cold．
66．答案：father’s．根据I’m 64．for my dad，可知这个人正在找他的爸爸，因此希望他爸爸回来，修饰动名词短语coming back，故用名词所有格形式father’s，意为爸爸的回来．故填father’s．
67．答案：years．根据two---old，可知这里的意思是“两岁”，two二，后面的名词应该用复数，故此处为years．故填years．
68．答案：deeply．根据Amelia was--moved and asked Sam to take her to his home．可知Amelia深受感动，让Sam带她去他家，在这里修饰形容词moved“感动的”，故用副词deeply．故填deeply．
69．答案：home．根据Later Amelia brought Sam home．可知Amelia把Sam带回家，可知Sam的妈妈是想让她帮助给自己的儿子找一个家，故此处为home．故填home．
70．答案：took．根据Amelia--her hand and nodded with tears（眼泪）．可知Amelia伸出手，满眼泪水的点着头，此处作谓语用动词take．时态应该用一般过去时，take的过去式是took．故填took．
