94、正主语是被邀请,因此此处缺少形式主语,故填it。58.【解析】was allowed。考查时态和语态。结合上下文可知,“我”被允许与这些可爱的动物接近,“我”与”允许”之间属于被动关系,此处应该填动词的被动语态。再结合上下文的时态可知动作发生在过去,故填was allowed。59.【解析】officially。考查副词。根据上文可知,从明天开始,“我”将会成为英国大使。所以这一句中的The title指的是“英国大使”这个头衔。根据上下文可知,在伦敦一个仪式上,这个头衔将会被非常正式地授予“我”,修饰动词应该用副词,故填officially。60.【解析】to。考查介词。go back to

95、为固定短语“追溯到”。句意:我跟熊猫的联系可以追溯到20世纪80年代中期。故此处用介词to。61.【解析】when。考查定语从句。I was the first Western TV reporter(permit)to film a special unit caring for pandas rescued from starvation in the wild 是一个非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词my days,表示时间,在从句中作时间状语,故填when。62.【解析】permitted。考查非谓语动词。句意:“我”是第一个被准许为熊猫摄制影片的西方电视台记者。permitted to f

96、ilm a special unit修饰reporter,且此处“我”和“准许”之间是被动关系,所以应用过去分词,故填permitted。63.【解析】introducing。考查非谓语动词。include作为谓语,后若加动词只能用动名词,构成include doing sth.,意为“包括做.”,故填introducing。64.【解析】days。考查名词复数。few“几个,少数”,后面应加名词的复数形式。故填days。65.【解析】the。考查冠词。根据上文中出现的one和空后other可知,此处考查的词组为one.the other.,一个另一个,故填 the。第四部分 写作(共两节,满
