解答 61．started，根据语境"当他们上学的时候"描述的是过去的动作，因此使用一般过去时started．
62．who，考查定语从句的引导词，当先行词是不定代词anyone指人时，引导定语从句只能用who．
63．third，根据语境表示Sarah三年级，使用Grade Three，或者使用序数词修饰grade，因此填third．
64．because，前后两句构成因果关系，因此用because引导原因状语从句．
65．making，考查动词短语的搭配，stop doing sth．"停止做某事"，因此使用动名词形式making．
66．difficulty，根据所给词difficult是形容词，意思为"困难的"，此处是"在某方面有困难"，因此使用其名词形式difficulty．
67．but，根据语境"她认真学习"和"她不明白作业"构成转折的关系，因此使用but．
68．with，考查动词短语help sb．with sth．"帮助某人某事"．
69．patiently，此处考查副词修饰动词explained．
70．an，表示"在数学考试中获得一个A"，用不定冠词，由于A是以元音音素开头的单词，因此使用an．
点评 对于语法填空这类题，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，从语法上确定答案，当然，对于某些固定搭配也要牢记，在平时的学习中要多积累这些词汇或短语，对于句子使用的时态语态也要通过语境进行确定．
