Answer 1

分析 本文主要讲述一个有钱人想帮助别人，但是想看看这些人值不值得帮助，他用一块大石头来试探人们．

解答 61．who 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a rich man指人，在从句中作主语，用关系代词who．
62．But 考查连词．根据句意：他想确认一下镇上的人是否值得他帮助．可知，这里应该是转折关系．
63．a 考查冠词．stone是可数名词，单数形式前要加不定冠词，a large stone泛指一块大石头．
64．hid 考查动词时态．全文讲述的是已发生的事情，用一般过去时态．
65．Another 考查代词．泛指"另一个人"用another，并且，后文有提示．
66．it 考查代词．it前文提到的事物，再次提到用代词代替，以避免重复．
67．saying 考查现在分词．He与say之间是主谓关系，用现在分词短语saying to himself作伴随状语．
68．will be 考查动词时态．此人说的情况是将来的情况．故用一般将来时．
69．strength 考查名词．with是介词，后接名词作宾语，形容词strong的名词是strength，with all strength意为"尽全力"．
70．Under 考查介词．根据句意：在石头下，他发现一大袋钱．under意为"在…下面"．
