Answer 1

61. to get。考查不定式作状语的用法。fight to do sth.意为“努力争取做某事”。

62. battling。考査动词-ing形式作宾语补足语的用法。spend ... doing sth.意为“花 时间做某

事”。

63. was struck。考查一般过去时的被动语态。Chris.与strike之间是被动关系，且由Thirteen years later可知，strike表示的是过去的动作，故 填 was struck。

64. of。考査介词。because of意为“因为”。

65. specially。考査副词。设空处修饰过去分词 equipped ,故填副词 specially。

66. what。考査连接词。设空处引导宾语从句且在 从句中作宾语，故填what。

67. them。考査代词。设空处作动词requested的宾 语，故填them。

68. contributions。考查名词。形容词后接名词，且 此处表示“捐款”，为可数名词，故应填复数形 式。

69. bigger。考査形容词比较级。由than可知，应填 比较级bigger。

70. there。考査固定结构。that引导的宾语从句意 为“无论问题有多难，总有一些我们能做的”，故 此处考査there be句型。
