参考句子：

6) sustained

3. Tips: 这样的题是一种同时训练单词语义和写作语法意识的题，难度较大。做此练习不求完全正确，做了练习就有收获。

1) to broaden; make their way

分析：不定式表目的，这些大学是为了“增加(broaden)”黑人学生的受教育机会。broaden的本意是“变宽，扩大”之意，与opportunity搭配，可译为“增加机会”；make one's way 为“走; 行走; 前进”之意，I'll make my way home now. 我现在要回家了. 注意“make one's way (ie succeed) in life 在生活中有所成就”，所以此处可填“make their way”，their与help them中的them相呼应。

2) disgusts; take a chance on

分析：the food（相当于第三人称单数），disgust的形式就是disgusts，主谓一致； will +V原，所以take不需要变形，而take a chance on sth，故take a chance on，这里its not being full是一个整体，相当于sth。

3) the grand;and overseas;reflected

分析：大概15000个演员参加了在盛大的(grand)开幕式，用grand，前面需要加定冠词the，冠词的用法一般是语感，大家平时要多阅读，多朗读背诵，自然而然就会好起来；China与overseas对应；这个开幕式反映了(reflect)中国丰富的历史和文化遗产。
