91、【分析】本文是记叙文，主要描述了祖父的工作。【51题详解】考查动名词。put和control由and连接，是并列关系，besides是介词，后面需要加动词的ing形式，故将put改为putting。【52题详解】考查不定代词。句意：他还做了很多其它的事情，根据句意，此处表示“其它的”，another表示“另一个”，other表示“其他的”，故将another改为other。【53题详解】考查介词。be ready for表示“为做准备”，是固定搭配，故将to改为for。【54题详解】考查介词。learn about sth表示“了解，学习”，是固定搭配，故将of改为about。【55题详解】考
92、查动词原形。help sb do sth表示“帮助某人做某事”，此处动词需要用原形，故将did改成do。【56题详解】考查冠词。job是可数名词，此处表示一份工作，需要用冠词a，故在has后面加a。【57题详解】考查不可数名词。knowledge 是不可数名词，没有复数形式，故将knowledges改为knowledge。【58题详解】考查时态。根据前面的now，可知此处开始描述现在发生的事情，所以用一般现在时态，故将showed改为shows。【59题详解】考查连词。He tells everyone how to prevent fires and how to do if there i
93、s a fire and how to be safely. 本句前半句是2个并列的宾语，宾语是“疑问词+不定式”，第二个宾语do缺少宾语而不是状语，根据句意，用疑问词what而不是how，故将how改为what。【60题详解】考查形容词。前面有be动词，be动词需要将形容词做宾语，故将safely改为safe。第二节书面表达(满分25分)52. 假定你是李华，和留学生Susan约好昨晚去看电影，但你因故没能赴约。请你用英语给她写一封邮件，内容包括：1. 表示歉意；2 说明原因；3. 希望得到谅解。注意：1. 词数100左右；2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。【答案】Dear Susan，
