22、奶。在那里的一次舞会中，作者与养老院所有的老奶奶都跳了舞。1. were 解析：考查动词时态。分析句子结构可知，此处为 who引导的定语从句，修 饰先行词people;结合句意可知，从句的时态应与主句的时态保持一致。所以填were。2. worse 解析：考查形容词比较级。What' s wors意思是“更糟糕的是“，相当于副词短语 Even worse/Worse still。所以填 worse。3. to recognize 解析：考查非谓语动词。句型 It takes(took) sb.some time (money) to do sth.意为“做某事需要花费某人一定的时间或金

23、钱”。所以填 to recognize o4. but/yet 解析：考查连词。根据空处前后句子结构可知空处应该填一连词；结合空 前的"not a big fan of dancing和空后的"a big fan of Grandma可知，空处前后有转折含义。所以填 but/yet o5. invitation 解析：考查名词。根据空前的"accepted he可知；空处应该是名词作宾语，意思是“接受她的邀请”。所以填 invitation。6. sitting 解析：考查非谓语动词。从句子结构可知，空处是非谓语动词作后置定语， 且主语an old lady与动词

24、sit是逻辑上的主谓关系。所以填 sitting。7. what 解析：考查疑问代词。根据“疑问代词+不定式”结构及空前的knowing可知，空处应该填疑问代词，意思为“不知道说什么"。所以填 what。8. particularly 解析：考查副词。空后是介词短语with Grandma ,介词短语只能用副词修饰。所以填 particularly。9. the 解析：考查冠词。根据句意可知，此处的 party特指上文中的"a dance party。" 所以填the。10. her解析：考查人称代词。根据空前的 losing同时结合句意可知，空处应该填人 称代词
