70、如此以至于”，that 引导结果状语从句。59myself解析：考查代词。根据语意可知，此处填 I 的反身代词，意为“她认为我伤到了我自己”，故填 myself。60earlier解析：考查比较级。“一段时间earlier”作状语，意思是“一段时间之前”，这里意思是“十六年前”。61to_cook解析：考查非谓语动词。此处不定式表示目的。语境为“取下戒指来做饭”，故填 to cook。62searched解析：考查动词的时态。根据后半句中的“but turned up nothing”可知，用一般过去时态。故填 searched。63swept解析：考查非谓语动词。此处是get done 结构
71、，表示被动，意为“被扫进了垃圾堆”。64where解析：考查定语从句。此处先行词是 the garden，在从句中充当地点状语，故填 where。65a解析：考查冠词。此处 a wonder 表示“一个奇迹”，所以需用不定冠词 a。第四部分写作(共两节，满分40分)第一节：应用文写作(满分15分)假定你是李华，是某国际学校的学生。上周五下午，你不慎把书包丢在操场，里面有学生证、手机、钱包等物品。你校外教泰勒先生捡到后上交学校，请你用英语给他写一封感谢信。注意：1词数80左右；开头和结尾已写好；2可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。Dear Mr Taylor，I_am_Li_Hua._I_am_wr
