Answer 1

分析 作者在本文讲述了圣诞节前的一天，丈夫上班时家里唯一的交通工具--自行车丢失了，作者很难过，于是把这件事告诉了报社，不久就有人来提供帮助，一位好心的陌生人送来了一辆自行车．通过这件事，作者受到了很大启发，认为人与人之间应该加强信任，相互帮助．

解答 61：arrival；考查名词，句意：他一到，就把自行车象往常一样停靠在后门：on one's  arrival 是固定短语，故此处应使用名词形式．
62：as；考查固定搭配，as usual 是固定短语，意为"像往常一样"．
63：which；考查关系代词，分析句子可知这是非限制性定语从句，故用which指代上文的 bike．
64：to get；考查动词不定式，句意：自行车也被用来买东西：be used to do sth是 固定搭配，意为"被用来干某事"．
65：where；考查副词，这里用副词where作动词live的状语，意为"我们住的地方"．
66：them；考查代词，这里句意为"我写信给报社告诉他们我们的故事"，这里代词指代"报社的人"，要用复数形式them．
67：from；考查介词，这句话的意思为：我的丈夫再次有办法上下班了，和前面"to"相对应，故用from．
68：an；考查冠词，honor首字母发音是辅音，故用不定冠词"an"，It's an honour that…，做..真是荣幸…．
69：be passed；考查被动语态，主语smile与动词pass是被动关系，故用被动语态．句意：人们说微笑可以从一个人传到另外一个人．
70：strengthened；考查动词的时态，这里需要使用动词形式，意为"加强"，这是发生在过去的事情，故应该用一般过去式．

点评 做这类题，不但要选择正确意义的词，还要根据具体语境，选择适当的时态、语态及使用正确的词形．把握全文意思，分析句子之间的关系至关重要．
