Answer 1

分析 本文介紹了各國的暑假情況．即暑假的長度，和暑假活動．文章談到從美國到英國、法國和加拿大，各國暑假起止時間和以及學(xué)生在假期中從事什么活動．活動內(nèi)容很豐富，也很不相同．

解答 78．babysit．考查動詞．短文中"Some students will try to make money by doing housework，such as babysitting or mowing the lawn for neighbors"所說，一些學(xué)生通過做家務(wù)來賺錢，比如照看小孩或給鄰居割草坪等．babysit為動詞，意思是"臨時受雇代外出的父母照料小孩"．英文釋義to look after a child or children while the parents are out意思是：在小孩的父母外出時照看他們．兩者意思相符，故填babysit．
79．starts； from．考查同義句轉(zhuǎn)化及短語from to．
文中原句意思是：暑假大約始于6月24日，終于9月3日．重點(diǎn)是時間的跨度和范圍．上句用了兩個不及物動詞start和end來分別表示"始于"和"終于；止于"．本題用"from…to"這個短語表示"從…到…"；from June 24 to September 3從6月24日到9月3日．動詞用be，其意思是"是"．主語Summer vacation為第三人稱單數(shù)，系動詞變?yōu)榈谌�人稱單數(shù)形式is．故填is；from．
80．他們參觀非洲的自然景觀或者參觀說英語的國家，以便于學(xué)英語．
翻譯題（英譯漢）．考查English-speaking和動詞不定式．English-speaking意思是"說英語的"，它相當(dāng)于一個形容詞，充當(dāng)定語．speak English為詞組，speak為動詞，意思是"說英語"，其中speak可以充當(dāng)謂語，English充當(dāng)賓語．English-speaking countries說英語的國家．動詞不定式短語to learn English為狀語，表示目的，意思是"以便于學(xué)習(xí)英語．故答案是他們看非洲的自然景觀或者參觀說英語的國家，以便于學(xué)英語．
81．In Canada．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．考查哪國學(xué)生暑假必須做（完成）作業(yè)．根據(jù)最后一段關(guān)于加拿大的內(nèi)容"During the vacation，students have to finish their homework"可知，加拿大學(xué)生暑假必須完成作業(yè)．故答案是In Canada．
82．the UK．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．考查哪國暑假最長和比較句（more than句型）．本句為比較句，比較的是（各國）暑假的長短．其意思是哪個國家的暑假比其他各國的暑假都長，也就是哪國的暑假最長．從各國暑假起止時間看，美國接近3個月（從6月初到8月末）；其他國家大多在兩個月左右，故美國暑假最長．

點(diǎn)評 首先要掌握短文的意思，然后結(jié)合具體的題目再讀短文從中找出相關(guān)信息，就可以確定正確答案．
