When Ted Komada started teaching 14 years ago at Kilip Elementary, he didn’t know how to manage a classroom and was struggling to connect with students, he noticed a couple of days after school that a group of kid would get together to play chess. “I know how to play chess, let me go and show these kids how to do it,” he said. Now, Komada coaches the school’s chess team. The whole program started as a safe place for kids to come after school. And this week, dozens of those students are getting ready to head out to Nashville Tennessee to compete with about 5000 other young people at the Super Nationals of Chess. The competition only happens every four years, and the last time the team went, they won the third place in the nation. Komada says Chess gives him and his students control. The school has the highest number of kids from low-income families. Police frequent the area day and night. As 2 months ago, a young man was shot just down the street. Komada likes to teach his students that they should think about their move before they do it. The lessons proved valuable outside the classroom as well. Many parents see these lessons translate into the real world. Students are more likely to think about their actions and see whether they will lead to trouble.

【答案解析】
26. 根據(jù)空格位置,marine此處形容詞,可判斷出26題應(yīng)為名詞。marine的意思是“海生的,海運(yùn)的”固定搭配“marine habitat”海洋棲息地。所以本題答案為“G”habitat“棲息地”。
27. 根據(jù)空格位置,詞性應(yīng)該為動詞的被動態(tài)。本篇文章對A300持有肯定態(tài)度,所以此句想表達(dá)“A300”對環(huán)境沒有任何潛在的壞處,故答案應(yīng)為“M”, “be stripped of”意為“剝奪”。
28. 此題空格前有“will”, 所以此處應(yīng)填動詞原形。選項(xiàng)中動詞原形有“A”和“H”, 根據(jù)句意得知,沉沒的飛機(jī)可以讓人工珊瑚長的更好。所以本題答案為“A”,create“創(chuàng)造,產(chǎn)生”。
29. 此處應(yīng)填動詞原形,主語為“plane”,故謂語動詞應(yīng)為單三形式。所以答案是“L”,stretches意為“延伸”,此處指“飛機(jī)機(jī)身總長為54米”。
30. 此處應(yīng)填副詞,用來修飾后面的“be able to venture”, 答案應(yīng)鎖定在“C”eventually和“L”intentionally。這句話的意思是水肺式潛水者能夠在船艙內(nèi)冒險(xiǎn)。故選項(xiàng)“C”eventually“最終地”,更符合句意。
31. 此處應(yīng)填名詞形式,因?yàn)榭崭袂盀?ldquo;plane’s”。名詞選項(xiàng)有“F”和“N”??崭裉幥鞍刖涫菚r候水肺式潛水者能夠在船艙內(nèi)冒險(xiǎn),所以后半句應(yīng)該為他們也可以在船艙外面冒險(xiǎn)。故答案為“F”exterior“外部,表面”。
32. 因?yàn)榭崭袂盀?ldquo;on that”...所以此處應(yīng)為名詞。本句話的大意是:買這架飛機(jī)花了很多錢,所以他們希望通過旅游業(yè)能夠看到自己投資的回報(bào)。所以答案為“J”investment“投資”。
33. 此處應(yīng)填名詞形式??崭窈蟮膬?nèi)容為“嚴(yán)重的致命恐怖襲擊”,所以空格處應(yīng)為victim“受害者”。故答案為“O”。
34. 此處應(yīng)為副詞形式。因?yàn)楦痹~修飾形容詞“largest”。副詞只剩“I”intentionally有目的性地,故意地,修飾后面sunk, 所以本題答案為“I”。
35. 此題應(yīng)為v.-ing形式,與and前的“taking a trip underwater”保持并列。“E”exploring和“K”revealing都是v.-ing形式。根據(jù)本句句意,“E”exploring“探索”更符合句意。本句話的意思是“水下旅行和探索沉沒的A300的內(nèi)部都會是一場冒險(xiǎn)”。
