(每空只写一词)66. Lisa, I didnt _(认出)you-youve had your hair cut
90、! 66._【标准答案】 recognize (-ise) 【高考考点】动词。【试题解析】 横线前有助动词didnt，其后就应用动词原形。美式recognize和英式recognise拼写都正确。67. I usually just have a _(三明治)for lunch. 67._【标准答案】sandwich【高考考点】名词。【试题解析】从句子结构可知，sandwich作have的宾语，前有a修饰，故填单数形式。68. Mr. White announced that he would go to China in _(二月). 68 _【标准答案】February 【高考考点】专有名
91、词。【试题解析】二月February是专有名词，书写时首写字母要大些。69. The story was first written in English and later _(翻译)into Chinese. 69 _【标准答案】 translated 【高考考点】动词语态。【试题解析】该句是一并列句，前部分用的是一般过去时的被动语态，故后部分也应用过去时的被动语态，所以填translated。70. The village children like to go _(游泳)in the nearby river. 70 _【标准答案】swimming 【高考考点】非谓语动词。【试题解析】
92、go swimming去游泳。书写时要注意以重读闭音节结尾，且末尾只有一个辅音字母的时候，要双写末尾辅音字母，再加ing。71. One of our _(邻居)kept a very beautiful garden. 71 _ _【标准答案】 neighbor(u)rs【高考考点】名词单复数。【试题解析】one of后跟名词复数形式，所以neighbor(u)r应用复数neighbor(u)rs形式， 两种拼写都算正确。72. The English teacher gives the class a _ (听写)almost every day. 72._ _【标准答案】dictatio
93、n 【高考考点】派生词。【试题解析】听写dictae是动词，但根据句子结构我们得知需要名词形式作宾语，其前还有a，故填dictation。73. David turned and walked off in the _(相反)direction. 73. _ _【标准答案】opposite 【高考考点】形容词。【试题解析】从汉语意思我们不易判断用什么词性，但从句子结构和它所处的位置可知放在名词前应用形容词作定语。故填opposite。74. I suggest that we have _(定期)meetings. 74. _ _【标准答案】regular 【高考考点】形容词。【试题解析】 “
94、定期”位于名词前，应用形容词形式作定语。75.

97、a success. 85. _ 76. 【标准答案】chose chosen【试题解析】非谓语动词误用。donI 和chose之间是动宾关系，故改为动词不定式的被动形式。77. 【标准答案】去掉at【试题解析】多介词。at first是“第一”。在此句意是“首先”，故去掉at。78. 【标准答案】aboutwith/to【试题解析】介词搭配错误。和某人交谈应用talk with/to sb.79. 【标准答案】 在history前加the。【标准答案】冠词漏用。history加限定词修饰时，表示特指某历史，要the修饰。80. 【标准答案】good well【试题解析】固定搭配错误。as w
