填词补文

1. 本句空白处放在介词of后外空白处放在主语的位置上,提示需填入名词。因此,将提示词动词 spend加上ing改成名词spending(开销;花费)符合句意和语法。

2. 本句空白处放在名词 student后面,另外根据句意“联邦法律把这项开销和学生的某种状况联系在一起”可以判断出该空白处应该填学生的表现。因此,将提示词动词perform加上后缀-ance改成名词performance即可。

3.本句句法结构完整,主要成分不缺失。本句空白处放在名词 testing前面提示需填入形容词来修饰该名词。因此,将提示词名词year改成符合句意的形容词 yearly(每年的,按年度的)即可。

4.本句空白处放在介词in后,提示词动词 measure应作出改动。由于介词后面的动词要使用其现在分词形式,因此将提示词动measure改成现在分词 measuring填入空白处。

5.本句空白处放在名词 method前面需填入一个词来修饰该名词。因此,将提示词动词 assess加上后缀-ment改成名词 assessment来修饰 method,为“评价方法”。

6. 本句空白处放在名词 growth前面提示需填入形容词来修饰该名词,因此,将提词名词 academy改成形容词 academic修饰growth,意为“成绩的进步”。

7.本句空白处放在两个名词词组public charter school和 West Denver Prep的中间,结合本句提示词可知,句中所指 public charter school(公立学校)的名字应该是 West Denver Prep。因此将提示词动词call改成其过去分词called符合语法和句意。

8.本句空白处放在名词 public schools前提示需填入形容词来修饰该名词。因此,将提示词名词 tradition改成形容词 traditional填入空白处意为“传统的公立学校”。

9.分析本句句法得知,本句主谓结构完整,空白处连同之后的成分应属后置定语用来修饰主语 students。由于主语 students和动词perform是主动关系,将提示词动词 perform加上ing改成 performing,连同后面成分 below grade level一起组成后置定语,意为“表现低于年级水平”,用来修饰students。

10.本句句法结构完整,空白处放在形容词 enough前。因此,将提示词形容词strange改成副词 strangely即可。另外,此空白处出现在句首,因此,应注意首字母须大,即Strangely。
