試題分析：該類(lèi)試題主要考察考生的語(yǔ)法水平。主要需要注意各個(gè)詞的詞性和詞義，以及各種特殊結(jié)構(gòu)等問(wèn)題。

【1】oldest考察最高級(jí)。Oldest是old的最高級(jí)，表示最老的。結(jié)合句意，一個(gè)90歲的肯尼亞祖母成為世界上最年長(zhǎng)的小學(xué)生。故用最高級(jí)

【2】known考察非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。這里also known as Gogo是一個(gè)定語(yǔ)，修飾主語(yǔ)Ms Sitienei。謂語(yǔ)是后面小句的is。所以這里只能用非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。而被熟知是一個(gè)被動(dòng)的關(guān)系，所以用過(guò)去分詞。

【3】helping 考察固定結(jié)構(gòu)。Spend sometimes （in）doing something在某事上花時(shí)間。故這里用helping。

【4】could考察情態(tài)動(dòng)詞。結(jié)合句意，她在童年時(shí)期沒(méi)有機(jī)會(huì)受教育，因?yàn)樗�的父母不能承�?dān)將她送到學(xué)校的費(fèi)用。因?yàn)樵摼涫且话氵^(guò)去式的時(shí)態(tài)，所以要用could。

【5】What考察主語(yǔ)從句。這里是what she expects most她最期待的，是該句子的主語(yǔ)。在主語(yǔ)從句中缺少賓語(yǔ)，故用what提問(wèn)。

【6】to study考察固定結(jié)構(gòu)inspire sb to do sth鼓勵(lì)某人做某事。她最期待的事情是成為年輕人的榜樣，激勵(lì)她村子里的所有孩子學(xué)習(xí)。

【7】applied考察時(shí)態(tài)。該句的時(shí)態(tài)為一般過(guò)去式，所以謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞apply要變?yōu)閍pplied。Apply to適用于、運(yùn)用、致力于。

【8】hesitation考察without的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)。這是Without+名詞的結(jié)構(gòu)。所以要將hesitate變?yōu)閔esitation。當(dāng)她申請(qǐng)入學(xué)時(shí)，校長(zhǎng) Kinyanjui帶著遲疑接受了這個(gè)學(xué)生。

【9】since 考察連詞。Since表示自從，多用于過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài)。這里是一個(gè)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句，自從她來(lái)了，我看到學(xué)校發(fā)生了巨大的轉(zhuǎn)變。

【10】With考察with的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)。這也是一個(gè)with+名詞的結(jié)構(gòu)。有了教育，你可以成為你想成為的任何人——醫(yī)生、律師或者飛行員。
