名词辨析题 。空格前是连词 and,用来连接两个并列的成分。and 前面的 resources为名词,故空格处也应填入一个名词。前句中提到,作为一名老师,你可以用很多种方法把社区搬到你的教室。父母和祖父母是孩子们的资源,且后文中又表述了他们可以教给孩子们的东西,结合 resources 和备选名词可知,assets“资产,财产”为答案。备选的名词中,guidelines 意为“指导方针”,origin 意为“起源”,均不适合来解释父母和祖父母的角色,不符合句意,故均排除。
形容词辨析题。空格前是 be 动词,而空格后是名词 teachers,故空格处应为形容词。除去空格处的词义外,句意为:他们可以成为传授其个人传统和历史的老师。用某个形容词来修饰teachers,备选的形容词中,只有 excellent“优秀的”符合句意,故为答案。备选的形容词中,aware “意识到的”、expensive“昂贵的”、involved“有关的”和 up-to-date“最新的”均不可修饰 teachers,故均排除 。
固定搭配题。空格前为 their country of,故空格处单词应该为修饰限定 country 的名词。country of origin 为固定搭配,意思是“起源国,原产国”,这里指的是移民的本土国,故 origin“起源”为答案。备选的名词中,guidelines 意为“指导方针”,显然不符合句意,故排除。
形容词辨析题。空格前为动词 have,空格后为名词 information,因此该空格处应为形容词。该句句意为:当地企业的员工或是社区机构人员都有着________信息可以在课堂中分享。根据常识判断,和上文中提到的家长相比,企业的员工和社区机构人员能够给孩子们带来更前沿的信息,而 up-to- date“最新的” 恰好符合句意,故为答案。备选的形容词中,aware “ 意识到的”、 expensive “昂贵的”和 involved “有关的”均不符合句意,故均排除。
动词辨析题。空格前为 to,根据短语 have the opportunity to do sth.可知,空格处应为动词原形。此处意思是很多学生有机会去参加音乐会,故 attend“参加”为答案。备选的动词原形 observe意为“观察”,不符合句意,故排除。
名词辨析题。空格前为 should have,空格后为 for selecting and conducting……,故该空格处应为名词。上文中提到了实地考察给学生们带来的好处。再根据整句句意,一个学区应该有选择和实施实地考察的________。故 guidelines“指导方针”为答案。
固定搭配题。空格前为 be made,空格后为 of,可以判断的是这里是被动语态,还原成主动语态,此处应是 be________of,故推测空格处为形容词。固定搭配 be aware of 意为“知道,有一定认识”,符合句意,故答案为 aware“意识到的”。
固定搭配题。空格前为 learn to be,空格后为 in community projects,故空格处应填入一个形容词。根据句中后面部分的 ranging from planting trees to cleaning up a park……可知这些都是社区活动。固定搭配 be Involved in 意为“参与”,符合句意,故答案为 involved“有关的”。备选的形容词 expensive“昂贵的”不符合句意,故排除。
副词辨析题。空格所在处为插入语,因此可以由其后的形容词 older 判断此处应填入副词。分析句意可知,students 显然是一个大的范围,而 older ones 则为其中一个部分,因此是在具体举例或是特殊强调,只有 especially“尤其”能够起到这样的作用,由此确定答案。备选副词 naturally“自然地” 不符合句意,故排除。
空格前是 by,空格后是 in a nursing home,故推测此处应填入动词的现在分词形式。该句前半部分为学校要求学生提供社区服务,而后半部分具体列举在养老院、幼儿托管所或是政府机构,根据常识判断,学生在这几个地方提供的一般都是志愿者服务,因此 volunteering“自愿(做某事)”,符合句意,故为答案。备选的动名词中,joining 意为“加入”,但是 join in 意思是“加入,参加”,不符合句意,故排除。
