【解析】

你有没有想过美国高中是什么样子？文章描述了一个典型的美国高中和它的学生，主要是从学校设施，交通方式，所学科目等几个方面介绍的。

【1】句意：学生到达校后，……。

根据后句的they first go to their lockers to take out their textbooks and to put away their coats or things they don’t need. 首先去储物柜拿出课本，把外套或不需要的东西收起来。可知这是到达学校之后的事情，所以前句表达的应该是“到达”，英语是arrive at，而前句用的现在时，所以这里也用现在时，主语是students复数名词，动词应该用动词原形，故答案为arrive。

【2】句意：学生宁愿借阅也不愿购买。

根据前句As American textbooks are expensive 由于美国的教科书很贵，可知这里表达的是“宁愿借也不愿买”，所以这里应该填“借”，英语是borrow，英语中表达“宁愿做某事而不愿做某事”结构是would rather do than do，所以空格处应用原形，故答案为borrow。

【3】句意：如果他们住在附近。

根据前句They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school他们通常乘坐黄色校车或步行上学，可知能够步行上学的就说明是住的很近的，所以这里填“附近”，英语是nearby，故答案为nearby。

【4】句意：每天学生上六七节课，包括科学、数学、英语、物理和社会学。

根据前句Each day, students take six or seven classes, including science, maths, English每天学生上六七节课，包括科学、数学、英语可知，这里表达的是一门科目，英语中p开头的科目是物理，英语是physics，故答案为physics。

【5】句意：因为每个学科的老师总是呆在同一个教室里。

根据文中Students move from classroom to classroom for each subject, 每个学科的学生从一个教室搬到另一个教室each subject teacher always stays in the same classroom. 每个学科的老师总是呆在同一个教室里。可知两个句子之间是因果关系，且后句是表达原因，英语中表达原因的连词是because，故答案为because。

【6】句意：超过一半的学生忙于参加课外活动：足球、篮球、棒球和足球。

根据空格前面的football, basketball足球，篮球可知，这里表达的应该也是球类，以b开头的球类是棒球，所以应该是棒球，英语是baseball，故答案为baseball。
