解答 61．business 考查名词．根据句意：她是一位优秀的女商人．用business．
62．who 考查定语从句．分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句，先行词Her father在从句中作主语，用关系代词who．
63．with 考查介词．fill…with…意为"用…装满"，是固定搭配．
64．graduating 考查动名词．根据上下文可知，应是：大学毕业后，after是介词，后接动词时用动名词形式，用graduating．
65．died 考查动词时态．此处表示已发生的事情，要用一般过去时态．
66．returned 考查上下文理解判断能力．此处应是：她回到伦敦．用returned．
67．something 考查代词．根据句意：因此她放弃工作为它做点什么．用代词something．
68．success 考查名词．分析句子结构，句中缺少主语，用名词success作主语．
69．proud 考查固定搭配．be proud of意为"以…自豪"，是固定搭配．
70．besides 考查介词．根据句意：除了她已开的85家店之外还计划开80多家．用besiedes，意为"除…之外（还）"．
