Answer 1

分析 本文是一段对话，学校里的电脑太少了，不能满足学生做作业的需求，于是Sarah和 Kelly想给学校写一封信，建议学校多增加一些电脑．

解答 41．going；考查动词的时态，这里用going与前面的is构成现在进行时．
42．finished；考查动词的时态，根据时间状语last night可知此处要用一般过去时，故答案为finished．
43．so；考查连词，all the computers at the computer center are taken与后面的I can't type it是因果关系，故用so表示结果．
44．to；考查介词，happen to sb 是固定用法，意为"某人发生某事"．
45．are being used；考查时态，由时间状语Every time I went to the center可知此处需用一般现在时，有因 computers与动词use是动宾关系，故用一般现在时的被动语态．
46．which/that；考查关系代词，分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句，先行词为paper，故用关系代词which/that．
47．for；考查介词，分析句意为"为学生提供的电脑"，此处用介词for表示对象．
48．the；考查冠词，此处指上文提到的letter，故用the表示特指．
49．earlier；考查副词的比较级，结合上下文分析句意为"让我们早一点见面"，故用比较级形式earlier．
50．It；考查固定句式，这是It takes sb  some time to do 结构，意为"某人干某事花了多长时间"．

点评 首先要通读全文，了解大意，抓住上下文语境所提供的信息，仔细分析带空格的句子，明确空格所要填的词义，词型和短语搭配，给出所要填的正确形式，然后整体阅读短文，核对答案．
