Answer 1

分析 本文主要讲述两个商量挑选中国特产的事情．

解答 41．saw 考查动词时态．主句为"it is （has been）+一段时间"时，since引导的从句通常为一般过去时．
42．what 考查连词．bring back后缺少宾语，用what作其宾语，同时引导宾语从句．
43．attractive 考查形容词．things是名词，其前要用形容词修饰，动词attract的形容词是attractive．
44．of  考查固定搭配．be fond of意为"喜欢"，是固定搭配．
45 flying 考查动名词．have fun意为"玩得高兴，过得快活"，后接动词时用动名词形式．
46．which 考查定语从句．分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句，先行词some embroidery指物，在从句中作主语，用关系代词which．
47．but 考查固定搭配．not only…but also …意为"不但…而且 …"，是固定搭配，主要用于连接两个对等的成分，其中，also可以省略．
48．to buy 考查动不定式．特殊疑问词+动词不定式作decide的宾语．
49．a 考查冠词．decision是可数名词，其前加不定冠词a表示泛指．
50．easily 考查副词．think up是动词短语，要用副词修饰，形容词easy的副词是easily．
