Answer 1

分析 本文主要講述中美學(xué)生開學(xué)時的相同之處和不同之處．比如，中國學(xué)生每年看到相同的老師和同學(xué)，而美國學(xué)生則會看到一些大的變化．

解答 61．for 考查介詞．get ready for意為"為…作好準備"，是固定搭配． 
62．in 考查介詞．in the same way意為"以相同的方式"，是固定搭配．
63．but/while 考查連詞．前后兩個單句之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，用連詞but/while．
64．when 考查連詞．根據(jù)句意：每個學(xué)校開始決定什么時候上課．用連詞when引導(dǎo)賓語從句．
65．changes 考查名詞復(fù)數(shù)．change是可數(shù)名詞，"大的變化"不止一個，用復(fù)數(shù)形式．
66．a(chǎn)re divided  考查動詞時態(tài)和語態(tài)．subjects與divide之間是動賓關(guān)系，且表示的是一般事實，用一般現(xiàn)在時的被動語態(tài)．
67．based 考查過去分詞．be based on意為"根據(jù)； 以…為基準"，是固定搭配．
68．to pick 考查動詞不定式．此處動詞不定式表示目的，作目的狀語．
69．their 考查代詞．theirf指代irst-year students．
70．finally 考查副詞．have是動詞，用副詞修飾．

點評 在一篇200詞左右的語篇（短文或?qū)υ挘┲辛舫?0處空白，部分空白的后面給出單詞的基本形式，要求考生根據(jù)上下文填寫空白處所需的內(nèi)容或所提供單詞的正確形式，所填寫詞語不得多于3個單詞．要做好語法填空題，理解短文是解題的前提，扎實的詞匯、句型和語法知識是基礎(chǔ)，英語國家的背景知識是必要的補充．考生須靈活運用語法知識，如單詞詞性、單詞時態(tài)、名詞單復(fù)數(shù)、連接詞、代詞、冠詞等判斷各空白處應(yīng)填寫的內(nèi)容．答完后，還要通讀全文，核對所填單詞形式是否正確，是否符合語境．
