87、难”,所以填finding。62.which/that考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处引导定语从句,修饰先行词chemicals,在定语从句中作主语,故用关系代词,所以填which/that。63.healthier考查比较级。后面有than,所以填healthier。64.isdone考查动词时态和语态。nothing与do构成被动关系,且if引导的条件状语从句用一般现在时来表示一般将来;nothing作主语谓语动词用单数,所以填isdone。65.Things考查名词。此处列举出了很多人们可以做的事情,故用其复数形式,且thing一词为可数名词,句首单词首字母大写,所以填Things。

91、 seen in all my years of adventuring through the jungle,an orangutan.To be honest,I thought wild animals would be more frightened of humans than this little creature was.The following morning I woke up in surprise because I felt something getting dropped on my face.As I opened my eyes and looked aro

93、ld still be here.I began to pack up my gear so I could head out of the jungle while it was still light out.I also figured that if the orangutan was going to stick with me while I found my way out,I might as well give it a name.I took one hard look at it and the name Eduardo popped in my head.“You lo
94、ok like an Eduardo,so thats what I am going to call you,” I said to it.After named him,Eduardo looked up at me and smiled a full-toothed smile that I had never seen any animal ever made before.My bag was packed,and,as I was about to set on,Eduardo latched onto my legs once again,thinking that I was
95、going to leave him behind.“Come on,little guy.I guess you are coming with me,” I told him as we started to walk.Eduardo unlatched himself from me,climbed up the trees,and started to swing from the vines in front of me.“Huh,” I thought.“Its like hes leading the way for me.” I put my trust in this lit
