【答案】61. being 62. which 63. finally 64. declared 65. to retire 66. have made
69. a 考查冠词。根据前面We don't have any idea who put grandma forward我们不知道谁提名了祖母,以及she was short-listed接到电话说她入围了,开始我们以为这是一个玩笑,a joke一个玩笑,故填a。
70. wonderful考查词性转换(名词变形容词)。根据前面的We are so proud of her.我们为她感到骄傲和自豪,分析本句空格前面是系动词is,后面跟形容词作表语,故填wonderful。

Since I was a kid, I`ve considered different job I would like to do. First, I wanted to be a fireman, whose uniform looked so coolly. Then, when I was in the five grade, I wanted to be a teacher because I liked my English teacher too much. When I studied chemistry high school, I reconsidered mg goal or decided to be a doctor. They were two reasons for the decision. One was that I was amazing at the fact that a sick person could feel much more better after seeing a doctor. And the other is that I wanted to help people in need.
