Answer 1

分析 文章讲述一个有钱人想帮助别人，但是想看看这些人值不值得帮助，他用一块大石头试探人们．

解答 61．who/that 考查定语从句．分析句子结构可知此处应填定语从句的引导词，先行词 a rich man是人并在定语从句中作主语，故填关系代词that/who．
62．tofind 考查动词不定式．want to do sth．意为"想要做某事"，句意：但他首先想知道他们是否值得他的帮助．故填to find．
63．a 考查不定冠词．a large stone泛指一块大石头，表示"一"的概念时需用不定冠词，故填a．
64．hid考查时态．因为本文是讲一个过去发生的故事，所以应用一般过去时，hide的过去式是hid，故填hid．
65．Another 考查形容词．泛指"另一个"用another，根据后文then another came，and another．的提示也可知，故填Another．
66．it 考查代词．前文提到的事物，再次提到用代词代替，以避免重复．此处指代前面的the stone，故填it．
67．saying 考查现在分词．动词say与其逻辑主语He是主动关系，所以用现在分词表伴随状况，故填saying．
68．neighbors 考查名词复数．根据前面的some及句意可知，此处应用neighbor的复数形式，故填neighbors．
69．later 考查副词．句意：一些邻居随后会在黑暗中走来…later意为"随后，过后"，修饰动词短语come along，故填later．
70．under 考查介词．句意：在石头下，他发现一大袋钱．under在…下面，故填under．

点评 语法填空题是考查学生的语言运用能力．解题时，要在理解文章的基础上，灵活运用语法知识，如词性，时态，名词单复数，连接词，代词，冠词等判断空白处应填写的内容．答完后，还要通读全文，核对所填单词形式是否正确，是否符合语境．
