　　【解题步骤】

　　(一)速读全文，把握大意，粗选答案。

　　1.速读全文，首先判断本次完形填空属于论说文体，首段没有空格，它往往就是文章的中心，它体现的观点往往决定了全文的观点。从本文首段可以看出作者重点论述对于年纪大一些的人的教育和再学习的问题。又根据每一段首句提供的信息，可以判断本文的主题为教育。阐述了教育对于每个阶段的人的重要性和终身学习的意义。

　　2.顺手牵羊，粗选答案。

　　75. 在四个选项中，meet the new need表示“满足新的需要”，desire愿望，欲望;realm界，领域，范围; intention意图，意向，目的。均不能与meet搭配。所以只有B项正确。

　　76. 在四个选项中，与education buget只有portion，所以此句的主语构成“教育预算的大部分”。【语境词汇题】

　　79. more often than ever“很频繁地，比以往任何时候都”。【固定搭配题】

　　82. transition名词，表示过渡，转变，变迁。常用的搭配transition (from sth.) (to sth.)表示从……过渡到……【固定搭配题】
