【36题详解】
考查省略句。句意：有一天，杰克的父母告诉他爷爷工作四十年就会退休了，而且他们要为他举行一个让他惊喜的聚会。分析句子可知…his grandpa would retire after working for forty years是个省略句，如果还原为完整的句子为：… his grandpa would retire after he worked /had worked for forty years.但由于主、从句主语一致时可省略从句的主语，而从句的谓语动词与主语是主动关系，要用动词的ing形式。因此可填working / having worked 。
【37题详解】
考查并列连词。分析句子可知杰克的父母告诉他的是两句话，因此要用and来连接。
