40、ho考查关系代词。分析句子结构可知，所填词引导非限制定语从句，修饰先行词the monitor，且在定语从句中作主语，故填who。2unkind考查形容词。根据并列词and前的very rude可知，以前的副班长很粗鲁，对她不好，故填unkind。3ignored考查动词时态。根据She used to talk about it可知，but连接并列时态，因此这里也用一般过去时，故填ignored。4cutting/was cutting考查非谓语动词或动词时态。find sb. doing发现某人正在做某事。Sally和“切碎”是主动关系，所以也可以把此空看成found后宾语从句的谓语动词，
41、故填cutting/was cutting。5extremely考查副词。修饰形容词作状语，用副词形式，故填extremely。6what考查名词性从句。realized后面是宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，表示“发生了什么”，故填what。7nothing考查不定代词。句意：我什么也没有说，故填nothing。8frightened考查形容词。be动词后用形容词，人作主语，表示“害怕的”用ed形式的形容词，故填frightened。9(should) tell考查虚拟语气。insist表示“坚决要求”，后面的宾语从句中用虚拟语气，谓语动词用should加动词原形，should可以省略，故填(should) tell。10about考查介词。be concerned about是固定短语，表示“担忧某事”，故填about。
