Question

HARVARD, the top university in the United States, is a dream place for many students. Imagine being able to see how unique Harvard students are. Asking them what they learn. And how their classes are conducted.

This month, 300 students from different parts of China had an opportunity to spend a week with Harvard students. They gathered in the High School Attached to Fudan University in Shanghai where the Harvard College Association for US-China Relations Summit for Young Leaders in China (HSYLC 2007) took place. Over 40 Harvard undergraduates took part in it!

Around 2,000 Chinese students applied online for the program, which included various activities. Wang Wenjing, 17, from Shanghai Jingye High School was one of the 300 participants to be selected.

Seminars (研讨会)

Every day, the schedule was very busy filled with seminars, lectures, workshops (研习班), games and parties. Wang liked the seminars most.

Seminars are small classes with no more than 10 students. Wang could choose six from 40 different seminars to attend. A Harvard student led each one.

"They explored international issues such as US immigration (移民). We were allowed lively discussion and sometimes the only thing we did in a class was debate," Wang said. "To prepare for the next seminar, we often stayed up late doing research. No one could keep silent and it was fun to share ideas with others."

Celebrities’(名人) lectures

Each day, two or three lectures were given. Wang was excited that the lecturers were famous figures that before she had only seen on TV.

"I finally know why people are crazy about Yi Zhongtian. He is intelligent and eloquent (有口才的). Pu Bajia taught me how to overcome difficulties and plan for the future. All the lectures were inspiring," she said.

At the closing ceremony, Wang and her partner from Nanjing presented their workshop project. It was a survey of how Chinese view Americans, as an article about how Americans view Chinese is popular on the Internet.

"The program taught me what I could not otherwise learn in the classroom. Harvard students also let me know how important to be creative," she said.

【解析】

试题分析：本文属于任务型阅读，在完成此类题目时，要仔细阅读短文和表格，根据文章的篇章结构找出原文中的相应的语群，从同义词，近义词，反义词等角度出发，寻找原词再现，进行归纳总结，确定合适的答案。

1.1】famous 词义转换题。国家第一行HARVARD, the top university in the United States可知哈佛大学是美国顶尖的大学，自然也是很著名的大学。故使用famous.

2. carried 同义词转换。国家第一段最后一句And how their classes are conducted.可知conduct classes就相当于carry out classes。本句是被动语态，所以使用过去分词。

3. 推理题。根据文章第2段2,3行They gathered in the High School Attached to Fudan University in Shanghai where the Harvard College Association for US-China Relations Summit for Young Leaders in China (HSYLC 2007) took place可知这次活动是在中国上海被举行的。故使用动词hold举行，根据句义说明使用的是被动语态，过使用过去分词held的形式。

4. taking 词形转换。根据第二段最后一句Over 40 Harvard undergraduates took part in it有40名哈佛大学的学生参加了本次活动。本句中使用的with的复合结构，因为undergraduate students和take之间构成逻辑上的主动关系，故使用现在分词短语。

5.Activities 总结归纳。在文章的后两部分中主要讲述的是两个主要的活动。故使用activities。

6.led 词形转换。根据第二部分第二段A Harvard student led each one.可知一名哈佛大学的学生带领一个。本句是一个分词做状语的用法，seminar与动词lead构成被动关系，所以使用过去分词的形式。

7.discuss 词形转换。根据第二部分第三段We were allowed lively discussion and sometimes the only thing we did in a class was debate可知在研讨会上有大量的讨论和辩论。原文里是名词discussion，这里使用的是动词discuss。

8.preparing 词形转换。根据"To prepare for the next seminar, we often stayed up late doing research.表格里使用的是分词做状语用法，动词prepare和主语构成主动关系，故使用现在分词在句中做状语。

9. inspiring 原词再现。根据第三部分第二段All the lectures were inspiring可知这些演讲都很让人兴奋。Inspiring是原文中的原词再现。

10.10】creativity 词形转换。根据文章最后一段The program taught me what I could not otherwise learn in the classroom. Harvard students also let me know how important to be creative原文中使用的是形容词creative，表格中需要使用的是名词creativity。
