【4】weeks

【5】owned

【6】when

【7】her/the

【8】recently

【9】illnesses

【10】to play

【解析】

【1】oldest；考查形容詞的最高級。用最高級是前面要加定冠詞the，因此這里可根據(jù)是否有定冠詞the而確定是不是最高級。故填oldest。

【2】the；固定搭配：at the age of 在…歲的時候。故填the。

【3】was bought；考查被動語態(tài)和過去式。根據(jù)后面的by her owner可知句意為被擁有者買了。故填was bought。

【4】weeks；week是可數(shù)名詞。六周即six weeks。故填weeks。

【5】owned；考查主謂一致。根據(jù)這一句前面半句的動詞named可知這一句是用的一般過去時，所以這里也應(yīng)該用一般過去時。故填owned。

【6】when；句意：事實上，當(dāng)Tiffany Two慶祝它27歲生日的時候，相當(dāng)于人類125歲。故填when。

【7】her/the；根據(jù)后面的unbelievable age（難以置信的年齡）可知這是指Tiffany Two的年齡，所以可以填her，又因為在上文提到過，也可以填the。故填her/the。

【8】recently；考查副詞。句意：據(jù)報道說最近Tiffany Two的視力聽力都很好。故填recently。

【9】illnesses；考查形容詞的名詞形式。ill是形容詞，illness是其形容詞形式，但是可數(shù)名詞。故填illnesses。

【10】to play；考查動詞afraid的用法。be afraid to do 害怕去做某事。故填to play。
