【解析】考查介词短语辨析。句意：看见儿子安然无恙地回家，这对夫妇欣慰地笑了。A. in peace平静地，和平地；B. in relief欣慰地；C. in return作为回报；D. in turn轮流，反过来。根据句意可知，此处用“欣慰地笑了”符合语境，故选B项。

26．—-Mr. Smith is said _________.
—-Yes. He worked in our factory for 35 years! What a good worker!
A．to retire B．to have been retiring C．to have retired D．to be retired
【答案】C
【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：——据说史密斯先生已经辞职了。——是的。他在我们公司工作了35年。他真的是一个好员工。此处考查sb./sth. is said to do“据说某人/某事……”，再结合语境可知史密斯辞职发生在谓语动词said之前，应用不定式的完成式to have done，故选C项。
