【解析】

本篇從學(xué)期初的選課和選老師說明美國學(xué)校和中國學(xué)校的不同：課本很貴，學(xué)生有的用使用過的書，有的從圖書館借書；選老師避免“殺手老師”；文中介紹美國的課堂模式：討論非常重要，老師鼓勵學(xué)生提問和表明自己觀點。

【1】句意：在美國，在學(xué)期初，學(xué)生們必須要先選課程和老師。

空格在句末，判斷填副詞；根據(jù)文意在開學(xué)要首先做的事是選課程和老師，first意為“首先”，故選E。

【2】句意：因此在第一學(xué)期，不要選太多的課程，否則你會感到很焦慮這可能對你的學(xué)習(xí)不好。

空格在will后面，判斷填動詞；根據(jù)“don’t select too many courses,”、 “it may not be good for your study.”推斷選擇太多的課程會引起焦慮、對學(xué)習(xí)不利；feel nervous意為“感到焦慮”，故選A。

【3】句意：有些關(guān)于學(xué)科、時間安排、分數(shù)和教材的信息。

空格在some后面，判斷填名詞；根據(jù)上文“you have to ask for some teaching plans.你得去詢問一些教學(xué)計劃”，下文舉例說明“有些關(guān)于學(xué)科、時間安排、分數(shù)和教材的信息”；information意為“信息、消息”，故選C。

【4】句意：很多學(xué)生會放棄不選他，因為這種老師會布置很多的作業(yè)、有很多考試、給很低的分數(shù)。

空格在will后面，判斷填動詞；根據(jù)下文“because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades. 這種老師會布置很多的作業(yè)、有很多考試、給很低的分數(shù)”，可知“布置很多的作業(yè)、有很多考試、給很低的分數(shù)這種“殺手老師”不受學(xué)生歡迎，學(xué)生放棄選他；give up意為“放棄”，故選B。

【5】句意：在美國課本很貴。

空格在be動詞后面，判斷填形容詞；根據(jù)下文“Each copy is about $30-50. In order to save money, many students buy some used textbooks每本大約 $30-50，為了省錢 ，很多學(xué)生用使用過的課本”，推斷“課本很貴”，expensive意為“昂貴的”，故選C。

【6】句意：一些學(xué)生通常從學(xué)校圖書館借課本。

空格是句子的謂語，判斷填動詞；根據(jù)上文課本很貴，一些學(xué)生用使用過的課本，推斷下文一些學(xué)生從圖書館借，borrow意為“向……借……”，故選E。

【7】句意：老師鼓勵學(xué)生問問題或者表明你自己的觀點。

空格和ask question并列做動詞不定式賓補，判斷填動詞原形；根據(jù)上文“In class, discussing is very important在課堂上討論是非常重要的.” 推斷下文是“老師鼓勵學(xué)生提問或表明自己的觀點”；show意為“表明”，故選A.

【8】句意：他們通常不會叫你坐得好好地。

空格在動詞sit后面，判斷填副詞；根據(jù)下文“Instead, they allow you to sit or stand everywhere you like相反的，他們允許你坐在或站在你喜歡的地方.”，由此推斷，上課不需要好好地坐著；well意為“好地”，故選D。
