25、下形势说，这件事情非同寻常，他得将这件事交给编辑处理。have sth. done意为“使某事被做”。故填referred。9rang考查动词的时态。句意为：起初，王丽持怀疑态度，但是当我们的编辑打去电话告诉她在照片出版之前将会先提交给她的时候，她非常满意。根据逗号前的Wang Li was.和连词but可知应填ring的过去式。故填rang。10they考查代词。句意见上一题解析。设空处指代可数名词复数her photographs，而且作主语，故用复数人称代词的主格形式they。.读后续写阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。One time, the teacher
