分析 本文主要讲述作者在圣诞节前为孩子们购买圣诞礼物时,因信用卡不能使用,后面又排着很长的队,其他的顾客很是生气,排在作者后面的一位男士为作者付了全部的货款.作者表示不能接受,告诉对方以后还给他,但对方拒绝了,说:告诉你们孩子们圣诞老人说"圣诞快乐".
解答 61.extremely 考查副词.anxious是形容词,要用副词修饰.
62.what 考查连词.want是及物动词,用what作其宾语,同时引导宾语从句.
63.shocked 考查过去分词.过去分词作表语,多半用来表示人物所处的心理状态或情感变化,其主语多半是人.
64.angry 考查形容词.本句为主系表结构,应用形容词作表语.
65.items 考查名词复数.item是可数名词,根据上下文语境可知,为三个孩子购买的物品,要用复数形式.
66.in 考查固定搭配.in demand意为"非常需要的; 受欢迎的",是固定搭配.
67.the 考查冠词.此处特指别的生气的其他顾客,用定冠词the.
68.before 考查连词.根据句意:在我能够再次尝试刷我的卡之前.用连词before.
69.was paid 考查时态和语态.根据语境可知,此句应用一般过去时态;又因主语Christmas与pay之间是动宾关系,用一般过去时的被动语态.
70.to give 考查动词不定式.refuse to do sth.意为"拒绝做某事",refuse后接动词不定式作宾语.
