It’s a common school day at Southern Cross School near the famous Kruger National Park in South Africa. Teachers and pupils don’t sit in a classroom. I 【1】 , they go through the forest or sit under the trees.

The school teaches students all the same s 【2】 as the rest of the country’s schools, but the teaching methods are completely different. Southern Cross uses nature as a teaching tool. The teachers and their pupils go out into nature and work with animals and plants. These can be used to study a 【3】 from maths and social sciences to languages. The school is in an area where animals live wild and can be hunted. To get to class, students travel a road through the forest that wild animals use as well.

For example, the first lesson of the day is maths, but the teaching method is very s 【4】 .In this school you won’t hear a teacher saying “Count how many apples Jane has in her basket.”Actually, the children visit a nearby river to count the number of marks left by animals.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文主要介紹了南非克魯格國家公園南十字學校特殊的教學方式。他們利用自然作為教學工具，老師和學生走進自然和動物及植物一起合作學習。他們就是想通過這種方式讓人們關愛我們的地球，我們的環(huán)境。

【1】句意：老師和學生不坐在教室里，相反他們穿過森林，或坐在樹下。前后句意相反，所以選擇instead。故填Instead

【2】這所學校教授這個國家其他學校所有相同的科目。前面有提示詞“teaches”，學校里所教的應該往“內容”，“科目”方面進行聯(lián)想；same這個 詞是個干擾詞，后面不能填單數形式，all the same…,所有相同的……，注意名詞的復數變化。故填subjects

【3】句意：這些能被用來學習任何事情，從數學，社會科學到語言。根據 后面的from...to... 是一個選項的提示范圍，做的定語。可知是任何事情，故填anything

【4】例如這一天的第一節(jié)課是數學，但是教學方法是非常特殊的。結合后文的具體描述及前面的different以及but都是關鍵性的提示詞，就是為了突出此種教法與眾不同，所以填寫special

【5】這樣他們就能看到在夜晚有很多不同的動物來喝水。前面的提示詞“river”很關鍵，同學們來到河邊觀察不同種類的動物做什么，結合實際生活中的常識，自然聯(lián)想到喝與吃等相關動作。故填drink

【6】If they find a dead animal in the area這個條件狀語從句中有個關鍵的提示詞dead.故填died

【7】句意：我們必須使人們明白我們正在為環(huán)境/地球做什么。我們需要關愛我們地球。根據上文描述，故填earth / environment
