【解析】考查故事类文章。两年前，Jo在巴布亚新几内亚担任教师。学校里没有电、水和课本。当她知道学生们渴望学化学时，她尽力每周给他们演示化学实验。这儿的生活很苦，人们没有什么野心。Jo忙于教学，几乎没有时间参加社会活动，但她经常参加他们的家庭聚会，她觉得与他们一天呆在一起是一种荣幸。

【1】were dying

考查谓语动词的时态。句意：两年前，Jo在巴布亚新几内亚担任教师。学校里没有电、水和课本。当她知道学生们渴望学化学的时候, 她尽力每周给他们演示化学实验。be dying to do…为固定搭配，意为“迫切想要做…..，渴望做….”分析时间状语“Two years ago”可知，要用一般过去时，故填were dying 。

【2】them

考查人称代词的格。根据文章可知，they在本句中用动词show的宾语，故要用宾格them。

【3】to

考查固定搭配。be relevant to…为固定搭配，意为“与……相关”。故填介词to.

【4】personal

考查形容词作定语。分析本句可知，本句的名词person在此作ambition（抱负，追求）的定语，作定语故要用形容词，而person是名词，故用其形容词personal作定语。句意：事实上他们没有个人的野心。

【5】to adjust

考查固定句式。句意：当地人过着艰苦的生活。他们的小屋太暗了，需要一段时间才能适应（黑暗）。It takes time to do sth，为固定搭配，意为“花费时间做某事”，故本句填to adjust。

【6】that

考查定语从句。句意; 唯一能看见的财产是一把扫帚，几块锡盘子和杯子，还有几个罐子。分析本The only possessions__6___could be seen were one broom,….句可知，the possession为先行词在从句中作主语，但先行词被only修饰，指物时要用that，故本题填 that。
