When I（63）saw（see） him he could hardly speak，his eyes could hardly open and all his body could do was sleep．
I had to go back to work the next day so I told him that．He opened his eyes，（64）whichsuggested a goodbye．He surprised the doctors by（65）hanging（hang） on another tow weeks，and told everyone he was a winner．

Answer 1

分析 本文讲述了作者坚强的祖父．祖父是一个固执的人，他和疾病做了多年的斗争，在他数次中风之后，他的思维还是清晰敏捷的．在被医生判断只能活几天以后，他还是坚强的活了两个星期，这惊呆了所有的人．

解答 56．in．考查介词短语．固定短语in one's 20s表示"在某人二十多岁的时候"．
57．illness．考查派生词．根据限定词the可知用ill的名词形式illness，做was fighting with 的宾语，表示"他和疾病做了多年的斗争．"
58．to say．考查非谓语动词．固定句式enoughto do 表示"足够做某事"，本句表示"我足够的理由说他是一个固执的人"．
59．a．考查冠词．固定短语 a number of 表示"许多"，本句表示"在他患有很多次中风之后"．
60．quick．考查形容词和副词的区别．做表语，修饰主语his mind应该用形容词quick．
61．seriously．考查形容词和副词的区别．修饰形容词ill用副词seriously．
62．gone．考查派生词．本句表示"医生确定他几天以后会离世"，所以用形容词gone．
63．saw．考查谓语动词的时态．根据上文可知谓语动词用过去式saw．
64．which．考查定语从句．根据he could hardly speak可知祖父不能说话，所以本句suggested a goodbye是He opened his eyes的定语从句，所以用which代指主句．
65．hanging．考查非谓语动词．做介词by的宾语用doing，所以答案是hanging．

点评 考查语法填空．
副词是用来修饰动词或者形容词的
e．g．she can draw beautifully中beautifully修饰draw
形容词是用来修饰名词或代词的
e．g．she is a beautiful girl中 beautiful修饰she
副词一般以ly结尾．副词在句中作状语，一般靠近谓语动词或者在句首或者句末．形容词靠近所修饰的名词或代词，作定语．
