　　解析：

　　第一個空格里面，通過快速掃描第一句話，發(fā)現(xiàn)有美國總統(tǒng)克林頓Clinton，又有美國總統(tǒng)福特，卡特，布什(Ford, Garter and Bush)，那么后者跟前者相比較，同學(xué)們一定可以感覺到后者為前總統(tǒng)，因此第一個空格應(yīng)填入former或類似含義的單詞。第二個空格我們看到后面有一個介詞，于是能發(fā)現(xiàn)應(yīng)當(dāng)在里面填一個動詞，此時就需要注意時態(tài)，單復(fù)數(shù)的問題。空格三明顯是一個量詞，第四個空格不好預(yù)測，第五個可以估計出來應(yīng)填名詞，此時應(yīng)注意名詞單復(fù)數(shù)的問題，第六同上，第七個空格技巧性較強(qiáng)，需要背景知識，同學(xué)們可以想想，美國總統(tǒng)一般去電臺(during his radio______)干什么?此時蹦入腦海的一定是“電臺演講，演說”，于是應(yīng)當(dāng)是“l(fā)ecture, presentation, address”等詞匯。后面的長難句由于過長，很難提前預(yù)測判斷，但是在短短的幾十秒鐘的時間里面, 能預(yù)測出來這么多的信息,對得分會有很大幫助。

　　參考答案：

　　S1 former

　　S2 aimed

　　S3 billion

　　S4 coordination

　　S5 specialists

　　S6 grants

　　S7 address

　　S8. They're likely to drop out of school and less likely to succeed in life.

　　S9. The program, initiated by President Clinton,(initiated含義為“首次提出”，此處的插入成分難度很大，如果完全聽不懂，就建議在考試時放棄。) has come under criticism by Congress.(本句中，國會“Congress”需要大寫)

　　S10. Dozens of(這個短語用 “many”替代也可以) colleges and universities are prepared to send thousands of their students in support of the program(寫成to support 更加簡單)
