Answer 1

【答案】

【小题1】properly

【小题2】have done

【小题3】countries

【小题4】to stay

【小题5】arrangement

【小题6】better

【小题7】noisy

【解析】

试题分析：如何减轻学生的作业负担可真是个麻烦事。人家外国人也碰上了这个问题。看看外国人又是怎么处理的？

【小题1】此处plan 是动词，副词修饰动词，proper是形容词，所以要用它的副词形式properly。句意：多数的老师没有合适地安排作业任务。

【小题2】根据句意结果是学生们不得不重复他们在学校已经做过的任务。用现在完成时态，故填have done。

【小题3】several other 后面跟名词的复数形式，所以此处用country 的复数形式countries。几个其他的国家。

【小题4】固定搭配allow sb. to do sth.允许某人做某事，故填to stay。

【小题5】“相似的安排”，形容词修饰名词，arrange是动词，所以用它的形容词形式arrangement。

【小题6】根据后面的than可知此处用比较级，故填good的比较级better。

【小题7】“吵闹的房间”，形容词修饰名词，noise 的形容词是noisy，所以填noisy。
