65、作宾语。40earlier考查比较级。根据上文可知，火车30分钟就到了，但作者睡了一个小时，因此那个男子才会说：“很抱歉，我没有早一点叫你。”所以要填比较级earlier。41Hearing考查非谓语动词。I 与hear之间是逻辑上的主动关系，故用现在分词作状语。42had spent考查动词的时态。买火车票是发生在上车(I took the last train)之前，是过去的过去，要用过去完成时，故填had spent。43running考查非谓语动词。介词with 的宾语是tears，run与tears是主动关系，故用running。44how考查连词。句意：我问她我该怎么回报她。how

70、 part in a large study in Bristol in the 1990s.It showed that 507 who were slow to gain weight in the first eight weeks of life recovered fairly quickly and had almost caught up by age 2.Another group of 480 who were slow to gain weight between eight weeks and nine months continued to put on weight
71、slowly until they were seven years old，but then had a sudden increase and caught up by age 13.Researchers said the results would make parents whose babies fail to put on weight quickly less worried.The different patterns of recovery between the two groups were likely due to different reasons for slo
72、w weight gain.All the children were still lighter and shorter than their peers by the time they were teenagers，but within the normal range.The findings show the importance of monitoring a babys weight and height gain during the first few weeks and months，but not creating anxiety with parents of slow
73、growing babies，said the study leader Prof.Alan Emond from the University of Bristol.“In the past，a lot of parents have been caused unnecessary anxiety by health professionals and this is a positive message.” He said in many cases of slow growth where children do not follow the standard “curve(曲线)”，i
74、t is just because they are following their genetic(基因的) potential.Dr.Simon Newell，vicepresident for training and assessment at the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health，said he broadly agreed with the conclusions of the researchers but stressed that poor weight gain was something that needed
75、 to be monitored closely.“I would encourage parents to use growth charts but if measurements show your baby is smaller than average it may be completely normal，” he said. 【参考范文】According to a study，babies gaining weight slowly during their first weeks or months after birth can reach the same weight
