57.it 考查it用法.it作形容宾语,指代后面的动词不定式短语to make ends meet anyway.
58.Why 考查副词.根据句意:为什么一美元不值过去那么多呢?用副词why引导特殊疑问句.
59.for 考查固定搭配.pay for意为"pay for",是固定搭配.
60.greatly 考查副词.increase是动词,用副词修饰.形容词great的副词是greatly.
61.increasing 考查动名词.keep后接动词时用动名词形式.
62.up 考查固定搭配.go up意为"上升,上涨",是固定搭配.
63.shortage 考查名词.不定冠词a后接名词,shortage of意为"缺少…",是固定搭配.
64.what 考查连词.happen缺少主语,用what作其主语,同时引导宾语从句,作know的宾语.
