16、析：考查非谓语动词。介词for后跟动词时，要用其动名词形式。2which解析：考查非限制性定语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知，逗号后是非限制性定语从句，the pet shop是先行词，定语从句中缺少opened的宾语，故用which引导非限制性定语从句。3finally解析：考查副词。副词修饰动词acknowledge。4declared解析：考查时态。分析句子结构可知，主句中缺少谓语动词；结合后面的had可知，此处应使用一般过去时。5to retire解析：考查非谓语动词。此处用不定式短语作plans的后置定语，表示“她没有退休的计划”。 6have made解析：考查时态。根据空格后的时间状语over the years可知，句子要用现在完成时。7but解析：考查连词。not.but.“不是而是”。句意：我工作不是因为我必须工作，而是因为我想工作。8saying解析：考查非谓语动词。say与前面的a call之间是主动关系，现在分词短语saying she was shortlisted作后置定语，修饰a call，故填saying。9a解析：考查冠词。joke“笑话，玩笑”，是可数名词。空格后用了单数，故其前用a。10wonderful解析：考查词性转换。系动词is后面跟形容词作表语。wonder对应的形容词是wonderful。
