Question

【題目】Harvard is one of the most famous educational institutions in the world and many people want to study there. The problem is that most applicants don’t follow the advice that will most likely get them 【1】 (pick).

One of the most important things you should remember when 【2】 (apply) to Harvard is that THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE A LIFE. This is probably the main requirement after your grades. The best situation is that you are a 【3】 (nature) leader with lots of activities and active social life.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】picked

【2】applying

【3】natural

【4】yourself

【5】weaknesses

【6】The

【7】to

【8】It

【9】receives

【10】that / why

【解析】此文主要介紹申請(qǐng)哈佛大學(xué)時(shí)應(yīng)該注意的事情。

【1】Get sb done 意思是讓他們被選中。Them 與pick 之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系。

【2】當(dāng)申請(qǐng)時(shí)，你應(yīng)該記住的，此處為省略結(jié)構(gòu)，你與申請(qǐng)是主動(dòng)關(guān)系。應(yīng)該用現(xiàn)在分詞。

【3】此處用形容詞修飾名詞leader，所以用natural

【4】你不得不推銷自己。所以此處要用反身代詞做賓語(yǔ)。

【5】此處與strengths并列所以用名詞復(fù)數(shù)。

【6】剩余的自然就到來(lái)了。The rest

【7】pay attention to 為固定短語(yǔ)

【8】It is a matter of luck。。。 it作形式賓主語(yǔ)

【9】根據(jù)文章的時(shí)態(tài)可知此處用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，第三人稱單數(shù)動(dòng)詞加s

【10】此處為賓語(yǔ)從句。從句不缺句子成分，所以可以用that。
