答案:
1.[family,work,and service]
[定位]根據(jù)Hillary Rodham Clinton和the balance查找到文章首段。
解析:首段中希拉里的話表明她盡力尋找的生活中的平衡就是家庭、工作和服務(wù)。對比該句與題目可以知道,本題答案為family,work, and service。
2.[took part in/participated in school government]
[定位]根據(jù)Wellesley College查找到第2段首句。
解析:題目中的not only... but also對應(yīng)原文中的mixed... with,本題空白處應(yīng)填入謂語,所必在原文school government前加上相應(yīng)的動詞(短語)即可,故本題答案為took part in/participated in school government。
3.[the chairwoman]
[定位]根據(jù)the Arkansas Educational Standards Committee查找到第5段第2句。
解析:原文該句中說到她出任過阿肯色州教育標(biāo)準(zhǔn)委員會主席,但用的是動詞chaired,題目空白處應(yīng)填入名詞,且應(yīng)注意希拉里是女性,因此答案為chaired的名詞形式the chairwoman。
4.[an active role]
[定位]根據(jù)the Task Force on National Health Care Reform查找到第6段第2句.
解析:原文該句提到,克林頓總統(tǒng)請她負責(zé)管理國家醫(yī)療服務(wù)改革特別工作組的事務(wù),她開始積極履行職責(zé)。題目中的incharge of對應(yīng)原文中的chair,因此本題答案為an active role。
5.[A Grammy Award.]
[定位]根據(jù)It Takes a Village and Other Lessons Children Teach Us查找到原文末句。
解析:原文末尾的it指1996年出版的那本書,同時get是received的同義替換,所以received的賓語a Grammy Award為本題答案。
