Answer 1

分析 本文主要介紹World Laughter Day（世界大笑日）的歷史．

解答 61．laughter 考查名詞．分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)，賓語從句中缺少主語，要用名詞作主語，動詞laugh的名詞是laughter．
62．of 考查介詞．the cause of意為"…的原因"，是固定搭配．
63．meant 考查動詞時態(tài)和語態(tài)．be meant to意為"旨在"，是固定搭配，表示的是一般事實，要用一般現(xiàn)在時的被動語態(tài)．
64．be celebrated 考查動詞語態(tài)．分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知這是一個定語從句，先行詞day指事，在從句中作主語，與celebrate之間是動賓關(guān)系，要用被動語態(tài)．
65．by 考查介詞．在被動語態(tài)中由介詞by引出動作的執(zhí)行者．
66．began 考查動詞時態(tài)．根據(jù)句中時間狀語in 1995表示過去時間，要用一般過去時．
67．where 考查定語從句．分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知這是一個定語從句，先行詞class表示模糊化地點，在從句中作狀語，用關(guān)系副詞where．
68．Though 考查連詞．根據(jù)句意：盡管剛開始只有五個人上課，很快這種有趣的鍛煉傳開了．前后兩個句子用連詞though引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句．
69．surprisingly 考查副詞．修飾句子要用副詞，名詞surprise的副詞是surprisingly，意為"驚人地；出人意外地"．
70．organizing 考查動名詞．suggest是及物動詞，后接動名詞短語organizing the celebrations in public places 作賓語．

點評 在一篇200詞左右的語篇（短文或?qū)υ挘┲辛舫?0處空白，部分空白的后面給出單詞的基本形式，要求考生根據(jù)上下文填寫空白處所需的內(nèi)容或所提供單詞的正確形式，所填寫詞語不得多于3個單詞．要做好語法填空題，理解短文是解題的前提，扎實的詞匯、句型和語法知識是基礎(chǔ)，英語國家的背景知識是必要的補(bǔ)充．考生須靈活運用語法知識，如單詞詞性、單詞時態(tài)、名詞單復(fù)數(shù)、連接詞、代詞、冠詞等判斷各空白處應(yīng)填寫的內(nèi)容．答完后，還要通讀全文，核對所填單詞形式是否正確，是否符合語境．
