13、of the customer behind her.【解题导语】 本文讲述了 Eileen在得到别人帮助后， 自己受到爱的感染， 也常常去咖啡馆帮助支付排在他后面的客人的账单的故事。61generously 解析：考查词性转换。修饰动词 paid用 generous的副词形式generously, 意为“慷慨地” 。62a 解析：考查冠词。make such a big difference意为“有如此大的影响” ， 是固定搭配。63assistant 解析：考查词性转换。本空前面是名词所有格， 再根据句意“她最近丢了作为医生助理的工作， ”故本空填名词 assistant“助理” 。64w
14、as inspired 解析：考查语态。inspire sb.to do sth.意为“激励某人做某事”， 因本句中谓语 inspire和主语 Eileen之间是动宾关系， 故用被动语态。65What 解析：考查从句连接词。分析句子结构可知， was之前是一个主语从句， 从句中缺宾语， 故用 What引导， 注意首字母大写。66them 解析：考查代词。behind 是介词， 后面用人称代词 they的宾格形式them。67had seen 解析：考查时态。根据本句的时间状语 before可知用完成时， 整个文章都是以过去时为主， 故本空用过去完成时 had seen。68which 解析：考
15、查从句连接词。本句是逗号隔开的非限制性定语从句， 因先行词为 place, 并且此空位于介词 of的后面， 故用 which引导。69amazed 解析：考查词性转换。本句的主语是 the workers, 指人感到吃惊用amazed。70working 解析：考查非谓语动词。本句话的主语是 Eileen, 与动词 work之间是主谓关系， 故用 v.ing形式作伴随状语。三、短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有 10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。4增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号()，并在其下面写出该加的
