Answer 1

分析 本文写了中国留学生谢磊六个月前到伦敦读书，无论在学习上还是在生活上都遇到了困难．

解答 61．studying  考查非谓语．xielei与动词study之间是主语关系，所以此处用现在分词在句中做定语，意思是：在伦敦大学学习的学生．
62．preparation  考查名词．through是介词，后跟名词作宾语，preparation是名词"准备"．
63．a  考查冠词．申请学位课程，这里是泛指，所以用冠词a．
64．boarded 考查时态．根据时间状语Six months ago六个月前，所以谓语用一般过去时，boarded．
 65．for 考查介词．英语中去某地，用介词for．
66．what  考查固定结构．疑问词+to do可以在句中做宾语．此处用what to expect做动词know的宾语．
67．Luckily  考查副词．此处用副词在句中作状语，luckily"幸运的是"．
68．advice  考查名词．advice是不可数名词，所以答案填advice． 
69．appears  考查谓语．本句的主语是what seemed very strange before now，英语中一个句子做主语谓语动词用单数，前面的时态用的是一般现在时，所以答案填appears．
70．activities考查名词．activity是可数名词，根据句意：一些社会活动，所以答案填activities．
