答案解析:
56. who/that
解析:此处为定语从句,先行词为academics,关系代词在从句中作主语,指人,所以用who或that。
57. is viewed
解析:此句的主语是动名词短语Travelling to conferences, lectures, workshops, and the like,所以谓语动词用单数形式;根据句意,这里表示被动,故用is viewed。
58. are
解析:主语为Cobb and others,是复数形式,所以谓语动词用are。
59. are changing
解析:and连接的两个并列谓语,前面是are questioning,所以后面也用are changing保持一致。
60. roughly
解析:此处修饰数字200,表示“大约”,所以用副词roughly。
61. have promised
解析:根据since the effort started two years ago可知,这里应该用现在完成时,表示从过去开始一直持续到现在的动作,主语为academics,所以用have promised。
62. whether/if
解析:此处表示询问是否可以远程发言,所以用whether或if引导宾语从句。
63. the
解析:此处表示“她时间的四分之三”,是特指,所以用the。
64. invitation
解析:根据句意,这里表示拒绝邀请,invite是动词,其名词形式为invitation。
65. to continue
解析:plan to do sth.是固定搭配,表示计划做某事,所以用to continue。
