解析1.      本題的含義也可以用完成時(shí)態(tài)的結(jié)構(gòu)，意思為我的祖父已經(jīng)離開家超過55年，more than也可以表示超過的含義，和時(shí)間長度連用不能用短暫動(dòng)詞，可用be away來表示，故本題空格處填has been away from his hometown; more than。
2.      本題的含義也可以為自從我的祖父母結(jié)婚以來有50年，使用since從句，后跟一般過去時(shí)，故本題空格處填since my grandparents got married。
3.      本題的含義也可以表達(dá)為我的祖父自從上個(gè)星期一以來就一直在南京，主句應(yīng)該使用完成時(shí)態(tài)的結(jié)構(gòu)，故本題空格處填been in Nanjing。
4.      本題的含義也可以表示為我的祖父昨天完成直到很晚才去睡覺，not……until可以表示直到……才的含義，故本題空格處填didn’t，until。
5.      本題的含義為我的祖父花費(fèi)了兩天的時(shí)間在城市的購物中心旅行，表示某人花費(fèi)用spend，過去式為spent，在做某事上用doing，故本題空格處填spent，traveling。
