Answer 1

分析 本文是一篇记叙文．主要讲述了一个男孩子和一棵苹果树的故事．

解答 61．lay 考查动词时态．与前面的动词 came 并列，因此使用一般过去时态．误解分析：此处容易犯的错误是记不清lie 的各种含义，从而误填 lied，而 lied 是"撒谎"的过去式．
62．in 考查介词．固定短语 in the shade 在阴凉处．
63．following 考查形容词．此处 following 是形容词，作定语，表示"（时间上）接着"的意思．
64．which 考查定语从句． 结合前面的 on 可知此处是"介词+which"引导的定语从句，修饰前面的 trunk．
65．but 考查连词．根据语境可知此处用 but．
66．apples 考查名词复数．结合前面的 No more 可知此处用名词复数．
67．to bite 考查不定式．根据前面的 teeth 可知，后面的动词不定式作定语．
68．too 考查副词．too 用于形容词前表示"太"．
69．left 考查过去分词．此处 left 是过去分词作后置定语，修饰前面的 the only thing．
70．the 考查冠词．结合后面的最高级 best 可知此处填the．

点评 对于语法填空这类题，一是懂得分析句子结构，二是知道充当各个句子成分的词类或词性，从语法上确定答案，当然，对于某些固定搭配也要牢记，在平时的学习中要多积累这些词汇或短语，对于句子使用的时态语态也要通过语境进行确定．
