分析 全文大意：
亲爱的劳拉：
感谢你的来信．是的，我在法国的交换生项目中生活得很愉快．我在来之前有点紧张．但是我的寄宿家庭真的很好．你不会相信我的法语进步有多快！我现在讲法语很流畅了．尽管仍然会犯些错误，但是不像以前那样给我带来烦恼了．我现在最大的挑战是学习如何在餐桌上举止有礼．正如你所想象的和我们在家里不一样．例如，你不应该把面包放在盘子上．你不应该把它放在桌子上！我起初认为非常奇怪，但是现在我习惯了．除了面包，你不应当用手拿任何东西吃，甚至是水果也不可以．你要用刀子切，用叉子叉着吃．你的手要一直放在桌子上面．不得不说，我发现很难记住这一切，但是我逐渐习惯了，发现不再那么奇怪了．我会尽快给你回信告诉你我在法国的生活．希望你度过一个快乐的学年．

解答 答案：
51、a bit nervous    考查形容词及上下文理解           根据上文可知我在法国的交换生项目中生活得很愉快．结合题干I was （51）…before I arrived here可推知在来之前有点紧张，故填入a bit nervous"有点紧张"在句中作表语，故答案为a bit nervous
52、improved       考查动词及上下文理解                  根据下文I'm very comfortable speaking French now可知我现在讲法语很流畅了．结合题干And you wouldn't believe how quickly my French has!（52）…可推知我的法语进步很快，该句的时态是现在完成时，助动词has后接动词的过去分词，结合所给词improved为动词improve"改善，提高"的过去分词，可知填入该词意思符合逻辑语法正确，故答案为improved
53、learning        考查动名词及上下文理解                  根据题干My biggest challenge is （53）…how to behave at the dinner table．中的关键短语how to behave at the dinner table"如何在餐桌上举止有礼"可推知我现在最大的挑战是学习如何在餐桌上举止有礼，又知该空格前为系动词is，结合所给词learning，动名词短语learning how to behave at the dinner table在句中作表语，故答案为learning
54、am used to       考查固定短语及上下文理解              根据上文I thought that was pretty strange at first，可知起初我认为这一切非常奇怪，结合题干but now I （54）…it．中的连接词but，表示转折意义可推知现在习惯了，结合所给短语am used to 即固定短语be used to意为"习惯于…"根据句中的时间状语是now，该句使用一般现在时，又主语是I故动词be用am，故答案为am used to
55、so strange         考查形容词及上下文理解                   根据上文I find it difficult to remember everything，but I'm getting used to things 可知我发现很难记住这一切，但是我逐渐习惯了结合题干don't find them （55）…any more 可推知现在发现不再那么奇怪了，结合所给词so strange 为形容词意为"奇怪的"在句中作宾语补足语，故答案为so strange

点评 要做好此类题型，不仅要具备一定的词法、句法和惯用法等语法知识，而且还要具备阅读理解能力、综合分析能力和运用语言知识的实践能力，紧紧抓住语境所提供的信息，然后明确词意，词型，词的搭配，并注意合乎逻辑．结合所给词最后逐一填入正确答案．
