Question

阅读下列短文，根据短中的信息完成文后表格。（每空一词）

Hi, everyone! I will graduate from high school in June. Some of my foreign friends have asked me about the process of entering an American university(综合性大学), so here I will tell you how it works.

First you have to choose which university you want to go to. This is not easy, as there are over 3,000 universities and colleges in the USA. Do you want to stay near home, or do you want to go far away? What do you want to study? Once you have decided what is important to you, I would suggest choosing about five schools to apply to (申请). This way, if one or two schools do not accept you, you still have a chance of being accepted by the others.

After you have chosen which schools you would like to apply to, you have to finish an application form for each one. You also need to ask two or three of your teachers to write letters to the universities explaining why you would be a good university student. For many people, the worst part of applying for university is taking tests. Depending on which college or university you want to go to, you have to take either the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), which tests your language, math and writing skills, or the American College Test (ACT), which tests your knowledge in English, math, science and history.

After you have been accepted to a university, you need to be able to pay for your study there. To help students pay for their education, the government offers loans（贷款）which students do not have to repay until after they graduate. Scholarships（奖学金）are also available to students who have excellent grades, who are good players or who have financial（财政）needs. Because university tuition is so expensive, many students also work part-time while they are at university.

University courses are quite different from classes at high school. You only go to each class two or three times a week, you have to study a lot more outside of class. Classes are much bigger too and some can have as many as 200 students in them. There will be many new things to learn, but I think I will enjoy university.

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文中作者对选择大学给了我们一些实用的建议。首先要先决定好去哪所大学，最好多选择几个，每一所都要填申请表。被大学录取后，要交学费，政府可以提供贷款，大学里也有奖学金；另外，大学里的课堂也不同于中学。

1.根据短文第二段的第一句话First you have to choose which university you want to go to.可知，首先要先选择想去哪所大学。故这里应该填choosing。

2.根据短文的第二段中This is not easy, as there are over 3,000 universities and colleges in the USA.可知，从3，000多所大学里选择一个或两个这是很不容易的。故这里填hard 或difficult，困难的。

3.】根据短文第二段最后I would suggest choosing about five schools to apply to (申请). This way, if one or two schools do not accept you, you still have a chance of being accepted by the others.可知，作者建议我们选择五所学校，这样如果一个或两个学校没有录取你，你仍然有机会被别的学校录取。这些话告诉我们这样可以增加我们被录取的机会，故填chance或possibility。

4.】根据短文第三段的内容After you have chosen which schools you would like to apply to, you have to finish an application form for each one.可知，在你选择了想去哪些学校之后，你必须完成每所学校的申请表。each one 每一个。故这里填each。

5.】根据短文第三段的后半部分可知，选择好学校之后，根据不同学校的要求，你需要参加考试。take part in 是一个固定短文，意思是参加。

6.】根据短文第四段的开头After you have been accepted to a university, you need to be able to pay for your study there.可知，在被大学录取之后，你需要为你的学习交学费。故这里应该是paying for education，交学费。

7.】根据短文第四段the government offers loans（贷款）which students do not have to repay until after they graduate.可知，为帮助学生读书，政府会提供贷款，学生们可以到毕业之后再还。故这里填offered，这个过去分词的形式做定语修饰the loans。

8.根据短文第四段中Scholarships（奖学金）are also available to students who have excellent grades,可知，对于成绩优异的学生可以提供奖学金。who 在这里引导的是一个定语从句，修饰先行词students。

9.】根据短文第四段的最后一句话many students also work part-time while they are at university.可知，很多学生在读大学的时候，都会找兼职的工作。故这里应该是说找到兼职的工作，故填job或work。

10.】根据短文的最后一段Classes are much bigger too and some can have as many as 200 students in them.可知，在大学里班容量更大，一个班有多达200名学生。故这里应该填number，the number of students 意思是学生的数量。
