64、考查代词。mother是名词，故其前填形容词性物主代词its。【答案】its49【解析】考查时态。文章叙述了熊猫妈妈对孩子的照顾，用了一般过去时，空格处也需用一般过去时，故用drive的过去式drove。【答案】drove50【解析】考查并列连词。句意：是时候再生一个孩子了，熊猫宝宝也到独立的时候了。It was time for.和it was also time for.之间是并列关系，故用and连接。【答案】and.短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)Thank you for sending to me the schedule for Summer English Cour
