Answer 1

分析 Susan在寄宿学校上学，这是她写给父母的一封信．她在信中说自己因违反学校规定在宿舍吸烟而引发了一场大火，很多女生都住进了医院．校长说这场大火都是她的错误，并要她的家长赔偿损失．Susan告诉父母校长会给他们写信，让他们来把Susan带走．

解答 61．her；考查物主代词，根据句意"这是她从学校写给父母的一封信"可知此处要用形容词性物主代词her．     
62．with；考查介词，be angry with sb 是固定短语，意为"对某人感到很生气"．    
63．any longer；考查固定短语，这里用any longer与前面的not构成"not…any longer"结构，意为"不再…"．
64．started；考查动词的时态，句子中有时间状语last night，所以要用一般过去时．
65．to catch；考查动词不定式，这是固定短语"want sb to do sth"，意为"想让某人干某事"
66．which；考查关系代词，这是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词为  the waste-paper basket，所以关系代词要用which．
67．burning；考查形容词，此处可理解为现在分词作形容词，在句中作系动词was的表语，句意为"很快整个房间都着火了"．
68．flames；考查名词，in flames是固定用法，意为"在火焰中"，句意为"整个学校都着火了"．     
69．fault；考查名词，结合上下文分析，句意应为"这场火灾都是我的责任"，所以此处用fault表示"错误，责任"． 
70．for；考查介词，pay for是固定短语，意为"赔偿，为…而付钱"
