worth现在英语中被看作介词，因为它后面必须带名词或动名词。后接动名词时以主动形式表达被动的意思，接名词时须接表示价值、代价的名词。
worthy是形容词，在句中作表语或定语。作表语时，用beworthyof＋n./doingsth.或beworthytobedone结构。

答案：
31.treatments。本空前面的minor是一个形容词，它暗示了本空应填入一个名词。Treat(治疗)的名词形式是treatment。此外，本空前面的形容词some暗示了所填的名词应用复数形式。
32.saddest。本空考查形容词的最高级形式的用法。而且前面有定冠词the提示，根据句子意思应该选择saddest。
33.Other。考查other做形容词的用法，此时，other意为“其他的，另外的”。
34.How。考查疑问词的用法。
35.nobody。根据上下文，我们可以知道，没有任何人来探望作者本人。
36.wasleft。beleftwithathought是一个固定的搭配，意为“产生……的一个想法”。
37.Who。考查疑问词的用法。这句话是个特殊疑问句，根据句子意思可知需要选who。
38.tovisit。考查with的复合结构。
39.an。本空填入一个不定冠词表示泛指。
40.in/by/round。本空考查短语dropin/by/round的用法，其意思为：顺便访问，顺便进入。

1．以约30个词概括Jane的发言要点；
2．然后以约120个词谈谈影响你的一生的某一本书，内容包括：
1)这本书令你印象最深的是什么?2)这本书如何影响你的人生?3)你的感想。
