【1】 考查非谓语动词。spend +时间段+ (in) doing sth.花时间做某事。应用动名词形式。

【2】 考查名词。句意：在经历了之前的两次婚姻之后，...... 空前为two earlier，故应用名词复数形式marriages。

【3】 考查定语从句。＂_____had been rich for least one hundred years＂为定语从句，修饰family，从句中缺主语，指物，故应用that或which。

【4】 考查形容词。句意：当Vincent Astor去世的时候，Brooke Astor成为世界上最富有的女性之一。根据句意及空前the可知，本空应用形容词最高级。
