36. the。指前文提到的不识字的“那个”富人。
37. to be reading。因pretend后要求接不定式;又由after a while可知,他“假装在看”,可见要用不定式的进行式。

33. An。honest以发元音开头,表示“一个”诚实的女孩时,应用an。
34. what。told 的直接宾语为宾语从句,而宾语从句中缺了一个充当宾语的连接词,因此该用what引导宾语从句。
35. to say。在easy, difficult, hard 等形容词后的动词,要用动词不定式。
36. it。it在此代替了前面的the chance。

33. to mention。搭配:not to mention更不用说。
34. Another。搭配:one...another.... 一个……另一个……。

33. An。honest以发元音开头,表示“一个”诚实的女孩时,应用an。
34. what。told 的直接宾语为宾语从句,而宾语从句中缺了一个充当宾语的连接词,因此该用what引导宾语从句。
35. to say。在easy, difficult, hard 等形容词后的动词,要用动词不定式。
36. it。it在此代替了前面的the chance。

33. to mention。搭配:not to mention更不用说。
34. Another。搭配:one...another.... 一个……另一个……。
35. Although。因I have...与I seldom use...是两个句子,之间没有句号或分号,此处必定填连接词;由两句之间的逻辑意义可知,要填表示“虽然,尽管”的Although。
