分析 本文是教育类的说明文阅读，主要介绍了从参加高考到大学录取的全过程．细分了学生需要具备的一些基本的素质和技能．

65．an．考查冠词的使用．interview为可数名词单数，前需加不定冠词an．
66．Neatly．考查副词副用法．dressed是动词的过去分词形式，需用副词修饰，故用Neatly．请注意该词的第一个字母需大写．
67．are accepted．考查谓语动词．本句的student应被university所接受，故用被动形式，填入are accepted．
68．other．考查考形容词的运用能力．上文列举了系列procedure，下文应是"其它"的相关服务．
69．puzzling．考查非谓语动词的用法．此处puzzling表示a new life的性质，意为"令人困惑的"．
70．it．考查代词的用法．此处it作形式主语，代替不定式短语to adapt…

点评 语法填空题是考查语篇的理解能力和语言知识的应用能力．解题时，要在理解文章的前提下，充分考虑语境和上下文之间的联系．不要孤立地看一个词或一个空本身，很多答案是可以在文章中找到参考线索的．
