  37. H空前的was和空後的to表明,本空應填一動詞的過去分詞或形容詞,且該詞能與介詞to搭配 使用,與空後的a little—致,故H*** limited和L*** reduced意為“減少”,L*** reduced通常不用於指知識的貧乏,與文意不符,故排除。

  Passage 6

  36. K從句子前部分的謂語動詞take part in可以推斷出此處需要一個賓語名詞,根據邏輯含義,這 裡應該表示“兒童參加和平教育的專案或課程”。

  37. M動詞短語take on提供了答題線索,因為take on the role of是常用習語,意思是“承擔……的 角色”。

  38. A空格句謂語動詞為studied,因此_as peacemakers作主語Groups of children的定語,意為“是,作為”。

  39. J本句需要一個謂語動詞,首先根據主語the classroom單數形式可知動詞會是第三人稱單數形 式,並且從後面的短語opportunities for children判斷,只能選擇offers。

  40. D意思是指用“_行為”代替前面的易引起紛爭的行為***angry,violent***,選cooperative,與前面的angry,violent相對應。

  41. G空格位於take a step之後,介詞toward之前,需要副詞。孩子需要向前邁進一步成為和平締 造者。takea step forward “向前邁進一步”。

  42. F這裡需要一 個副詞來修飾形容詞useful表;程度,especially和respectively從邏輯上比較, especially 較合適。

  43. I與resources for teacher並列做介詞with的賓語。在網站***Website***上提供一些資訊比較符合 邏輯,information與on搭配,表示“與......有關的資訊”。

  44. 0空格位於定冠詞the之後,介詞of之前,因此缺少名詞,要幫助的應該是孩子——戰爭的受 害者。

  45. E此處需要一個形容詞修飾school,句義“開創一個調和者俱樂部對一個班級來說是一個值得稱 讚的冒險舉措,但其能夠傳播到其它班級,並且最終能夠理想地影響到整個學校的文化。”
