52、to考查介词。look forward to sth.意为“期望某事”，为固定搭配，故填介词to。55forgetting考查非谓语动词。此句的谓语动词是can get，且空前无连词，因此空处应用非谓语动词；主语people与forget构成主谓关系，故填现在分词forgetting作伴随状语。第五部分写作(满分25分)第一节单词拼写(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分)56Id like to thank my friend，who has been very _(慷慨的)57There is convincing _(证据)that skin cancer is linked to expos
