标准答案：secondlanguage

知识点解析：根据表格左列Advantages（优点）可定位至第二段（Thereare

advantagesfor...）。根据文中第二段第三句话”...hisabilityinthesecondlanguage

maybegreatlyimproved.”可知，第二语言（secondlanguage）得到提高，故本空填

“secondlanguage”。

2、

标准答案：broadenmind

知识点解析：该空缺处左左列，属于Advantages（优点）的陈述，所以可定位至第

二段。根据文中第二段最后一句话“Inthisway,thereiseverychancethatheisableto

widenhishorizonandbroadenhismind.”可知，第三个优点是可以拓宽视野和开阔思

路，可用原词组broadenmind直接填空，故本空填“broadenmind”。

“understanding”。

5、

标准答案：Lackknowledge

知识点解析：该空缺处是Disadvantages（缺点）的陈述，根据文中第三段最后一句

“Besides,fbrlackofknowledgeofthecustomsofthelocalpeople,theymay…”可知，

陈述的最后一个缺密是缺乏当地人的习俗知识。Lackof中名词lack须转换成动词

lack,与上一行中的短语Havedifficultyindoing中的动词Have保持同一词性，而且

第一个单词首字母要大写，故本空填“Lackknowledge”。

标准答案：sensesandmovements

知识点解析：文段的结阂非常清晰，一个年龄阶段为一个自然段。根据Sensorimotor

和0-2,可定位至选文的第一段。由第一段的第三句和第四句"Babiesfirstdevelop

importantmovements,likedrinkingtheirmothers'milk.Thisactinvolvesboththesense

oftasteandsomemovements.即“婴儿首先会发展重要的行为,比如喝母乳。这一行为

包括味觉和一些动作。”由此可知，在0-2岁的阶段，婴儿会首先发展感觉和动作，故

本空填“sensesandmovements”。

标准答案：thegroupsize

知识点解析：根据表格第一行，可首先看到重点词Strategies.可定位至文章第三句

话“Herearesomesuggestionsasstrategiesfbrmaximizingthepowerofpeer

coHaboration.”由第六句话中“keepyourgroupsizesira11asthreetosixclassmates”可

表达“groupsize”,故本空填“thegroupsize”。

标准答案：Doinglibraryresearch

知识点解析：根据表格第一行重点词Activities,可快速定位到文章第一段的最后一

句话“Thelistbelowdescribesseveralimportantactivitiesthatyouandyourstudygroup

orlearningteamcancollaborateon”,意为“下面列举了一些学习小组可以合作进行的

一些重要活动出题顺序和结构与文中第三段至第七段对应。第三项活动应和文

章中第五段对应。第五段段意为:调查表明许多学生对图书馆调查不熟悉，有时侯会

经历“图书馆焦虑”。组建图书馆调查小队可以有效地发展社会支持小组，从而可以

减少这种恐惧并有利于获取和分享信息。根据段意，可知第五段是围绕做图书馆调

查开展的,因此第三项活动为做图书馆调查。参赛者还应注意①、②、④和⑤使

用的是Sharing,Comparing,Meeing和Reviewing,均为动名词形式且首字母人写，

空缺处也应该保持形式一致，故本空填“Doinglibraryresearch”。

标准答案：Environmentprotection

知识点解析：根据表格中空缺处前的信息“ReasonbehindPlantsConservation"，即

“植物保护的原因”，可定位至文中的小标题“Whydovveneedtoconserveplants?”。
