61.surprising 考查分词形容词。此处是现在分词作形容词,意为“令人吃惊的”,符合语境。
62.is recorded 考查动词的时态和语态。everything和谓语record之间构成逻辑上的动宾关系,且表示客观情况,故用一般现在时的被动语态,即is recorded, 与graded 呼应。
63.to turn 考查非谓语动词。fail to do sth. 意为“不能做某事”,为固定搭配。 64.what 考查名词性从句。空处引导宾语从句,在从句中作宾语,表示物的概念,故填what。
65.academic 考查形容词。用形容词academic作定语修饰名词performance。 66.Otherwise 考查副词。根据语境可知,此处表示否则他们高中毕业后就会感到失望,故用副词otherwise,意为“否则”,作状语。
67.freedom 考查名词。由定冠词the 可知,此处应用名词,即freedom。 68.them 考查代词。此处应用宾格形式,作动词interest 的宾语,故用them。 69.in 考查介词。in the classroom 意为“在教室里”。
