Answer 1

分析 短文主要讲了Sarah在坚持自己的模特事业的同时，也兼顾好自己的学业，在事业和学业上双丰收．

解答 61．resting，考查固定搭配，spend some time doing sth．"花费时间做某事"，因此应使用rest的动名词形式resting．
62．a，考查冠词，model是可数名词，前应使用冠词a．
63．has been told/was told，考查谓语动词，此处Sarah已经是别人告诉她的了，应使用一般过去时的被动语态，第二种答案此处表示Sarah已经被告知她能成为英国的超模，因此使用现在完成时的被动语态也可以，故答案为has been told/was told．
64．who，考查定语从句的引导词，先行词是Sarah，因此引导定语从句应使用who．
65．to prove，考查固定搭配want to do sth．，故答案为to prove．
66．education，考查名词，形容词性物主代词her后应使用educate的名词形式．
67．invitations，考查名词的复数，several用来修饰可数名词复数，invite的名词形式为invitation，其复数形式为invitations．
68．in，考查介词，表示"…的学位"应使用介词in．
69．is coming，考查谓语动词，根据前面的时间状语at the moment可知句子使用现在进行时，故答案为is coming．
70．certainly，考查副词，此处应使用副词certainly修饰谓语．

点评 短文改错要具备两个基础，一是懂得分析句子结构，二是知道充当各个句子成分的词类或词性．并且注意人称代词，从句的引导词，名词单复数，和全文时态的理解，对于一些固定搭配，平时的学习中要多注意积累．
