Answer 1

分析 文章主要講述了現(xiàn)在上海的高中生作業(yè)量很大，一個家長開始對此擔(dān)心，并給老師發(fā)郵件建議減少作業(yè)．與此同時，很多"lion mom"出現(xiàn)越來越多，包括北美的一些城市，父母都成功建議學(xué)校減少了作業(yè)量．但是調(diào)查表明家庭作業(yè)的確對學(xué)生的各科成績產(chǎn)生了作用，中國存在高考，要想改變作業(yè)量過多問題，必須先改變教育制度．

解答 51．night　考查名詞，根據(jù)題干上海的高中生每晚有很多作業(yè)，結(jié)合each每個，可知所給的名詞night是單數(shù)，故答案為night．
52．to give　 考查動詞，根據(jù)空格前的動詞asked，可知ask sb to do sth讓某人做某事，故答案為to give．
53．swimming　考查動詞，根據(jù)空格前動詞like，可知like doing sth喜歡做某事，swim的現(xiàn)在分詞是swimming，故答案為swimming．
54．because   考查連詞，根據(jù)she loves her child just as a lion protects her babies．她愛她的孩子正像獅子保護(hù)它的孩子一樣，可知這是解釋的"獅媽"的原因，所以此處的連詞應(yīng)該是because因為，故答案為because．
55．growing　考查動詞，根據(jù)語境，"獅媽"的數(shù)量正在增長，結(jié)合空格前的is，推出grow用現(xiàn)在分詞形式，is growing，表示正在增長，故答案為growing．
56．its　考查代詞，根據(jù)空格后名詞way，推出此處是it的物主代詞接名詞way，故答案為its．
57．successfully 考查副詞，根據(jù)advised schools to leave less homework建議學(xué)校捎給學(xué)生留作業(yè)，可知修飾動詞advise要用副詞，故此處是successful的副詞形式successfully，故答案為successfully．
58．to　考查介詞，根據(jù)題干，調(diào)查也表明了家庭作業(yè)的確對學(xué)生的各科成績產(chǎn)生了作用，可知考查固定短語make a difference to對…產(chǎn)生作用，故答案為to．
59．does 考查動詞，根據(jù)North America doesn't have a gaokao北美沒有高考，but后轉(zhuǎn)折，可知中國有高考，結(jié)合題干，用一個助動詞代替一句話，China用單數(shù)助動詞，does相當(dāng)于China has a gaokao，所以does符合題意，故答案為does．
60．truth  考查名詞，根據(jù)題意，大家都要面對這個事實，true 的名詞是truth，此處指單數(shù)，高考一個事實，face to the truth面對事實，故答案為truth．

點評 靈活運用語法知識，如單詞詞性、時態(tài)、名詞單復(fù)數(shù)、代詞、冠詞、等判斷空白處應(yīng)該填寫的內(nèi)容．填完后，還要通讀全文，核對所填單詞形式是否正確，是否符合語境．
