66、d learned on a school field trip to the local fire department in Kenner,Louisiana是宾语从句,从句中缺少宾语,故填what。4months根据该空前的nine可知,此处应用month的复数形式。5thinkingthink与逻辑主语之间是主动关系,故用现在分词短语作状语,表示伴随。6bravery空格中所填单词前有her,需用brave的名词形式。7proudly空格中所填单词在句中修饰动词said,需用proud的副词形式。8if此处表示一个虚拟条件,故填if。9toowe.to.是固定用法,意思是“把归功于”。10is being repaired主语house是谓语动词动作repair的承受者,需用被动语态,此处表示正在进行的动作,故用现在进行时的被动语态。
