Answer 1

分析 这篇短文中两个朋友主要谈到了自己在暑假期间打算做的事情．

解答 61．found   考查动词．根据句子里的提示词"Have you…"可知，这是一个现在完成时态，故用过去分词形式．
62．where   考查连接词．分析句式可知，此处是一个定语从句，从句中缺少状语，先行词是camp，故用where．
63．but   考查连接词．根据句意可知，The pay wasn't good薪水不高，tips很多，两者之间是转折关系．
64．making   考查分词．根据句式，My sister 和make bed之间是主动关系，故使用现在分词表示主动．
65．it   考查代词．it代指前文出现的making beds and cleaning bathrooms．
66．After 考查介词．句意为，在待在大学上了整个冬天之后，我想找一份工作，after表示在…之后，符合语境．
67．a   考查冠词．job是可数名词，a job泛指一份工作．
68．cutting   考查分词．The high school kids 和cut grass之间是主动关系，故使用现在分词表示伴随状况．
69．that  考查连接词．分析句式可知，此处是一个定语从句，bought后缺少宾语，故用that．
70．or   考查连接词．此处表示选择关系，即我或者在a road building company或者在其他地方．
