8.The Problem with Top-School Lists
There are around 4,000 accredited universities and other higher education institution in the United States.They offer an immense range of educational experiences,(25)fromlarge research universities to small,friendly liberal arts colleges.This helps explain (26)whythe United States attracts more international students than any other country,says Allan E.Goodman,president of the Institute of International Education,(27)anon-profit group promoting student exchanges to and from American.
"While elite(精英) U.S programs are among the top ten in the world,"Goodman says,"the unique strength of the U.S.higher education system is diversity."
There is no official ranking system to indicate which institutions are better than others,(28)though/butseveral unofficial rankings are listed by magazines and associations.However,educators urge caution in using a ranking table and emphasize that (29)the best(good) choice for one student may be very different for another.
Institutions of all types (30)are spread(spread) across the United States.Some students want a campus that will give them the excitement and rich cultural life of a big city such as New York,Chicago,or Los Angeles.(31)Othersvalue the peace and beauty of a rural setting,whether the quiet forests and snowy winters of the Northeast,subtropical Florida,the dry expanse of the West,or the Pacific coast with its seashore and nearby mountains.
Many institutions have particular strengths in certain academic areas,(32)making(make) them a good choice for students interested in those fields.

分析 文章講述了美國(guó)的大學(xué)排名問(wèn)題.美國(guó)的大學(xué)很多,從綜合大學(xué)到文藝學(xué)院應(yīng)有盡有.這也可以說(shuō)明為什么美國(guó)有更多來(lái)自世界各地的學(xué)生.對(duì)于美國(guó)的大學(xué)沒(méi)有官方的排名,但一些非官方的大學(xué)排名經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)在雜志上.教育專家指出,對(duì)這些排名要謹(jǐn)慎對(duì)待,對(duì)某個(gè)學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō)最好的大學(xué)對(duì)另外一名學(xué)生卻未必是最佳選擇.很多學(xué)院都有自己的長(zhǎng)處,大學(xué)的選擇要因人而異.

解答 答案:1.from;考查介詞短語(yǔ).from…to…從…到…
2.why;考查連詞.句中the United States attracts more international students than any other country是作explain的賓語(yǔ),是一個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句;句意表達(dá)的是原因,要用why來(lái)連接.
3.a(chǎn);考查冠詞.句中non-profit group是作the Institute of International Education的同位語(yǔ),表示一個(gè)非盈利團(tuán)體,要用不定冠詞來(lái)限定.
4.though/but;考查連詞.句意表達(dá)的是轉(zhuǎn)折,要用though連接讓步狀語(yǔ)從句或but連接表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的并列句.
5.the best;考查形容詞的最高級(jí).句意表達(dá)的是最佳選擇,對(duì)某一個(gè)學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō)最好的選擇對(duì)另一個(gè)學(xué)生就未必是最佳的了.
6.a(chǎn)re spread;考查被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài).句中spread和institutions之間構(gòu)成動(dòng)賓關(guān)系,要用被動(dòng).
7.Others;考查代詞.句中Some students want a campus that will give them the excitement and rich cultural life of a big city such as New York,Chicago,or Los Angeles一些學(xué)生想去大城市的校園,其他的學(xué)生更喜歡鄉(xiāng)村的寧?kù)o.
8.making;考查分詞.句中有逗號(hào)分隔,沒(méi)有連詞,要用非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞;make與particular strengths構(gòu)成主謂關(guān)系,要用主動(dòng);句意表達(dá)的是結(jié)果,要用現(xiàn)在分詞作結(jié)果狀語(yǔ).

點(diǎn)評(píng) 語(yǔ)法填空題是考查學(xué)生的語(yǔ)言運(yùn)用能力.解題時(shí),要在理解文章的基礎(chǔ)上,靈活運(yùn)用語(yǔ)法知識(shí),如詞性,時(shí)態(tài),名詞單復(fù)數(shù),連接詞,代詞,冠詞等判斷空白處應(yīng)填寫(xiě)的內(nèi)容.答完后,還要通讀全文,核對(duì)所填單詞形式是否正確,是否符合語(yǔ)境.

Alligators (短吻鱷) can be found in the wild in nearly half the counties in Texas,especially in the eastern part of the state,so residents and visitors may need a safety course about alligators.Although no deaths attributable to alligator attacks have been recorded in Texas during the past 15 years,17 people have reported injuries.It's against law to feed a free-ranging alligator,because after an alligator realizes that people are a source of food,it will become a problem animal.The alligator is a protected game animal in Texas,so special permits are required to hunt,raise or possess alligators.
TIPS FOR SAFETY AROUND ALLIGATORS:
l  Stay at least 30 feet away from an alligator.
l  Never Feed an alligator or leave food accessible.
l  Don't approach them or swim in areas where alligators have been seen.
l  During warm months,alligators are most active at dawn and dusk.
l  Alligators are common in swamps,rivers and muddy places.While typically found in fresh water,they can endure salty water.
