【8】doubles
【9】are

【解析】
【文章大意】我住过两个不同的地方,它们有相同之处,也有不同之处。但是它们都是我的家。
【1】have lived 考查动词时态的用法。这里强调到目前为止我住过的两个地方,应该用现在完成时,所以填have lived。
【2】But 考查并列连词的用法。前面说我的村子里只有两万人。但是城里人很多,前后为转折关系,所以要填But。
【3】strangers 考查名词的用法。因为前面一句里说的是在我的村子里,我们认识绝大多数人。但是在这里大部分都是陌生人,空的后面给的是strange,所以要填strangers,表示“陌生人”。
【4】in/of 考查介词的用法。这里要表达的是村子的气候,故要在the village前面填in或of。
【5】two 考查数词的用法。从后面空中的second可以看出这里应该填该词的基数词形式作定语修饰seasons,所以填two。
【6】which/that 考查定语从句的关系代词的用法。此空后面是个定语从句,从句中缺主语,指物,所以此处要用which/that来引导定语从句,意思是“这四个是完全不同的季节——春、夏、秋、冬”。整句的意思:“这座城市有四个完全不同的季节——春、夏、秋、冬”。
【7】hotter 考查形容词比较级的用法。这里表示城市里的夏天和我们村子里的旱季是一样的,但是我们的旱季更热。所以此处填比较级hotter。
【8】doubles 考查动词第三人称单数的用法。本句的主语是this city school,为第三人称单数,且此处谓语应用一般现在时,所以动词要用第三人称单数形式,故填doubles。
【9】are 考查系动词的用法。因为此结构为there be形式,后面的名词computers and uniforms都是复数形式,所以此处用be动词的一般现在时的复数形式,故填are。
【10】both 考查不定代词的用法。这里作者是说:尽管两个地方不同,但是这两个地方都是作者的家。所以要填both。
