Answer 1

分析 本文主要讲述作者在杂货店购物时遇到的事情．

解答 61．sixties 考查固定搭配．in one's sixties意为"在某人六十来岁的时候"是固定搭配．
62．because/since/as 考查连词．根据句意：我告诉他他可以到我前面，因为他只有两件商品．用连词because/since/as．
63．teasing 考查现在分词．根据句意：他笑了笑，好像是在嘲笑我．此处为状语从句的省略，省略了主语和be动词（he was）．
64．Embarrassed 考查过去分词．feel是连系动词，后接形容词化的过去分词作表语，多半用来表示人物所处的心理状态或情感变化，其主语多半是人．
65．to charge 考查动词不定式．ask sb．to do sth．意为"要求某人做某事"．
66．replied 考查动词时态．全文讲述以前发生的事情，用一般过去时．
67．that/which 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herbs指物，且在从句中作主语，用关系代词that/which．
68．were 考查主谓一致．主语herbs是复数，谓语动词也主应用复数，因事情发生在过去，用were．
69．Eventually 考查副词．修饰句子要用事情，形容词eventual的副词是eventually．
70．with 考查介词．此处是"with+名词+形容词"复合结构，with表伴随，意为"带着"．
