8.The Problem with Top-School ListsThere are around 4,000 accredited universities and other higher education institution in the United States.They offer an immense range of educational experiences,(25)fromlarge research universities to small,friendly liberal arts colleges.This helps explain (26)whythe United States attracts more international students than any other country,says Allan E.Goodman,president of the Institute of International Education,(27)anon-profit group promoting student exchanges to and from American.
"While elite(精英) U.S programs are among the top ten in the world,"Goodman says,"the unique strength of the U.S.higher education system is diversity."
There is no official ranking system to indicate which institutions are better than others,(28)though/butseveral unofficial rankings are listed by magazines and associations.However,educators urge caution in using a ranking table and emphasize that (29)the best(good) choice for one student may be very different for another.
Institutions of all types (30)are spread(spread) across the United States.Some students want a campus that will give them the excitement and rich cultural life of a big city such as New York,Chicago,or Los Angeles.(31)Othersvalue the peace and beauty of a rural setting,whether the quiet forests and snowy winters of the Northeast,subtropical Florida,the dry expanse of the West,or the Pacific coast with its seashore and nearby mountains.
Many institutions have particular strengths in certain academic areas,(32)making(make) them a good choice for students interested in those fields.
分析 文章讲述了美国的大学排名问题.美国的大学很多,从综合大学到文艺学院应有尽有.这也可以说明为什么美国有更多来自世界各地的学生.对于美国的大学没有官方的排名,但一些非官方的大学排名经常出现在杂志上.教育专家指出,对这些排名要谨慎对待,对某个学生来说最好的大学对另外一名学生却未必是最佳选择.很多学院都有自己的长处,大学的选择要因人而异.
解答 答案:1.from;考查介词短语.from…to…从…到…
2.why;考查连词.句中the United States attracts more international students than any other country是作explain的宾语,是一个宾语从句;句意表达的是原因,要用why来连接.
3.a;考查冠词.句中non-profit group是作the Institute of International Education的同位语,表示一个非盈利团体,要用不定冠词来限定.
4.though/but;考查连词.句意表达的是转折,要用though连接让步状语从句或but连接表示转折关系的并列句.
5.the best;考查形容词的最高级.句意表达的是最佳选择,对某一个学生来说最好的选择对另一个学生就未必是最佳的了.
6.are spread;考查被动语态.句中spread和institutions之间构成动宾关系,要用被动.
7.Others;考查代词.句中Some students want a campus that will give them the excitement and rich cultural life of a big city such as New York,Chicago,or Los Angeles一些学生想去大城市的校园,其他的学生更喜欢乡村的宁静.
8.making;考查分词.句中有逗号分隔,没有连词,要用非谓语动词;make与particular strengths构成主谓关系,要用主动;句意表达的是结果,要用现在分词作结果状语.
点评 语法填空题是考查学生的语言运用能力.解题时,要在理解文章的基础上,灵活运用语法知识,如词性,时态,名词单复数,连接词,代词,冠词等判断空白处应填写的内容.答完后,还要通读全文,核对所填单词形式是否正确,是否符合语境.
