Answer 1

分析 本文主要讲述作者帮助一对夫妇的事情．先是让他们在自己的前面付款，后又为他们所买的气球付款．

解答 61．what  62．to help  63．anxious  64．meant   65．better 
66．left  67．a  68．saying 69．kindness   70．who/that
61．what 考查连词．say是及物动词，缺少宾语，用what作其宾语，引导宾语从句．
62．to help  考查动词不定式．此处动词不定式作目的状语．
63．anxious 考查形容词．be动词之后要用形容词，名词anxiety的形容词是anxious．
64．meant 考查动词时态．主句谓语动词用一般过去时态，根据句意，宾语从句的谓语动词也要用一般过去时态，mean的过去式是meant．
65．better 考查形容词比较级．否定词与比较级连用表示最高级的含义．
66．left 考查过去分词．people与leave之间是动宾关系，过去分词作定语修饰people．
67．a 考查冠词．give sb．a hand意为"帮助某人"，是固定搭配．
68．saying 考查现在分词．they与say之间是主动关系，用现在分词作伴随状语．
69．kindness 考查名词．of是介词，后接名词，形容词kind的名词是kindness．
70．who/that 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everyone指人，在从句中作主语，用关系代词who/that．

点评 语法填空旨在考查学生理解语篇的能力、分析句子结构的能力及熟练运用语法的能力．从总体上来说对学生的要求还是提高了，学生必须对整个语篇有总体的把握，然后根据上下文的逻辑关系进行分析的基础上确定每个空要填的是什么，解题时既需要有充足的词汇量，又需要对语法知识有比较明晰的理解和掌握，可以说综合性更强一些，更需要学生有合适的答题技巧．
