解答 61.struggling;考查非谓语动词,根据结构可知此处作定语,修饰后面的teacher,所以用现在分词形式作定语.
62.so;考查连词,结合句意"钱很紧张,票据到期了,所以我和妻子不能给彼此买圣诞礼物了"可知此处是因果关系,所以用so.
63.sold;考查过去分词,因为toy和动词sell之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词作宾语补足语.
64.had hidden;考查动词的时态,因为主句是一般现在时,定语从句的动作发生在主句之前,所以要用过去完成时 had hidden.
65.them;考查代词,分析句意可知此处指代前面的the gifts,故用代词them.
66.eyes;考查名词,空格后的动词短语lip up是"亮起来"的意思,结合上文句意"当我把礼物递给他们的时候"可知此处"他们"是很高兴的,所以用eyes,指"他们的眼睛亮了起来".
67.happily;考查副词,这里需要修饰的是后面的动词 hugged,所以此处用副词形式 happily.
68.for;考查介词,这是一个固定"for+时间段".
69.greatest;考查形容词的最高级,根据后面的 ever been given可知,句中已经给出了限定范围,所以此处用最高级,意为"这是我所收到的最好的礼物".
70.the;考查冠词,结合句意"至今我仍然非常珍惜孩子们送给我的那个礼物"可知,此处用the表示特指,特指"孩子们送给我的那个礼物".
