Answer 1

61. applying。考查动词-ing形式作宾语的用法。设空处作介词for的宾语，故填 applying。

62. earlier。考查副词的比较级。“the +比较级，the +比较级”意为“越……，越……”。

63. is considered。考查一般现在时的被动语态。设空处所在句子主语为动词-ing形式短语 Reading ... study ,其与 consider之间是被动关系，且此处描述的是目前 存在的事实，应用一般现在时，故填is considered。

64. which。考查关系词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，且在从句中作主语，指 代turn to those …studying abroad 的内容，故填which。

65. requirements。考查名词。设空处作宾语，意为“要求”，且前面有some限定，故填 requirements。

66. or。考查连词。由语境可知，Gavin想知 道这项工作要在考试之前还是之后做，before和after之间是选择关系，故填or。

67. it。考查it作形式主语的用法。设空处作形式主语，真正的主语是to make... the two exams ,故填it。

68. on / upon。考查介词。depend on / upon 意为“取决于”。

69. to ask。考查不定式作状语的用法。设空处作目的状语，且句子隐含主语 (You) 与ask之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故填to ask。

70. usually。考查副词。设空处作状语修饰 include ,故填 usually。
