Answer 1

分析 文中讲到：作者在等待丈夫开商务会议期间，游览了一个美术馆．在那里，她遇到了一对年轻的夫妇，由于那位妻子一直在不停顿地说着什么，引起了作者的反感．后来听到美术馆的一位工作人员讲那位年轻的丈夫是一位盲人，妻子这样做，是为了帮助看不见东西的丈夫；并且在丈夫的恢复期间，丈夫也一直坚信他的生活不会因为看不到东西而发生改变．听到这对年轻夫妇的感人故事后，作者被妻子的耐心以及丈夫的勇气所深深地打动，并且使得作者在耐心、勇气与爱中学到了很多东西．

解答 答案：
33．themselves   考查反身代词的用法      根据下文提到"由于年轻的丈夫眼睛看不到，妻子一直在做着他的眼睛，为他描述自己看到的东西"可知，这里强调的应是他们自己在不停地说着话；故填themselves  
34．Disturbed/Having been disturbed    考查非谓语动词的用法   根据句意可知，此处在句中作原因状语，动词disturb与它的逻辑主语I构成被动关系，所以应使用它的过去分词形式Disturbed；另外，根据上文"she was doing all the talking她一直在说话"；而disturb表示发生在谓语动词moved之前的动作；因此此处还表示发生在谓语动词之前并且是当时一直在进行的被动动作；所以这里也可以使用现在分词的完成时的被动语态；故填Disturbed/Having been disturbed
35．when    考查连词when的用法     分析句意可知，此处用来引导时间状语从句，意为："当…时候"；本句的意思是：当他俩走到美术馆礼品店出口的时候，我正在这里的柜台前购物；故填连词when
36．if         考查连词if的用法      根据句意可知，本句是虚拟条件句，意为：如果我们这么年轻就瞎了眼，我们大多数人都会放弃；故填if
37．whenever   考查连词whenever的用法    根据上文提到：在他的恢复过程中，他发誓他的生活不会改变，因此此处应表示无论什么时候有新的艺术作品展，他和他的妻子都会和从前一样进来观看；故填whenever
38．so that    考查连词so that的用法     此处是结果状语从句，意为；他的妻子描述每一幅画，这样在他的脑海里他就能看到了；故填so that   
39．describing     考查感官动词see的用法    结合上文可知，此处表示看到的动作正在进行，所以应使用动词的现在分词形式；故填describing 
40．shared     考查动词的过去分词的用法     此处动词share与the love构成动宾关系，故用动词的过去分词作后置定语，意为：俩人之间共享的爱；故填shared
