32、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考查副词。副词修饰动词acknowledge。4declared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考查非谓语动词。say与前面的a call之间是主动关系，故填saying，现在分词短语saying.作后置定语，修饰a call。9a考查冠词。joke“笑话，玩笑”，是可数名词。空格后用了单数joke，故其前用a。10wonderful考查词性转换(名词变形容词)。系动词is后面跟形容词作表语。wonder对应的形容词是wonderful。
