本文是一篇关于Tim建议Susan如何为她一起工作的同事买圣诞礼物的日常对话。29.who [考查定语从句。those做先行词指代人时,只能用who。]30.a [考查冠词。根据空格前的代词“it”可知,空格后的名词“headache”在句中表示一件令人头痛的事,为抽象名词具体化现象,因此应用不定冠词修饰。故空格处填a。]31.dividing [考查非谓语动词。当consider作“考虑”讲时,后面通常跟动名词作其宾语,由此可知,空格处应使用提示词的动名词形式。故空格处填dividing。]32.but [考查并列连词。空格前后两句话之间是转折关系,根据语境可知,but符合语境。故空格处填but。]33.what [考查疑问代词。题干为特殊疑问句,且疑问词作“do”的宾语,由此结合下文语境可知,此处指的是“我接下来应该做什么?”,因此what符合语境。故空格处填what。]34.them [考查代词。空格前的动词“buy”是关键词,根据buy的用法:buysb\nsth并结合语境可知,空格处应填代词且该代词作动词“buy”的宾语并指代前面的“thefriends”。故空格处填them。]35.on [考查介词。空格后的名词“diet”是关键词,该词常与介词on搭配,构成固定短语onadiet,意为“节食”。故空格处填on。]36.healthy [考查形容词。空格前的动词“keep”是系动词,其后跟形容词作表语,由此可知,空格处应使用提示词的形容词形式。故空格处填healthy。]37.importantly [考查副词。空格处在句中作状语,作为评注性的状语修饰谓语动词或全句时,只能用副词,由此可知,空格处应使用提示词的副词形式。故空格处填importantly。]38.havehelped [考查动词的时态。空格处在句中作谓语,结合上下文语境可知,此处表示过去发生或已经完成的动作对现在造成的影响或结果,由此可知,空格处应使用现在完成时。故空格处填havehelped。]
