(1)“主语＋be＋形容词＋动词不定式”是一个固定句型。该句型中常用的形容词有difficult, easy, hard, heavy, pleasant, comfortable, interesting, expensive等；用动词不定式的主动形式表示被动意义。若动词是一个不及物动词，要加上合适的介词。
The switches are cheap to buy and easy to install.
这种开关价格便宜，安装简便。
(2)情态动词的基本用法
①will与would的用法

b．表示请求、建议。用于第二人称的疑问句中，would表示更委婉的语气。
c．表示习惯性的动作，意为“总是；习惯于”。will指现在，would指过去。
②may与might的用法
a．表示允许、许可。might在语气上比may更委婉。
b．表示把握不大的推测，意为“可能”。
might语气更加不肯定，指现在或将来，只有在宾语从句中might do/be才表示过去的可能性。
③can与could的用法
a．表示能力(could是过去式)。
b．表示猜测，意为“可能”，一般用于疑问句或否定句中。
Can this news be true？这则消息是真的吗？
c．表示请求和许可(could表示更委婉的语气，回答时只能用can)。
d．用于肯定的陈述句中，表示偶尔的可能性，意为“有时可能会”。
It can be quite cold here at night. 这里夜间有时可能很冷。
e．习惯用法“cannot ... too/enough ...”表示“无论怎样……都不过分”，“越……越好”。有时cannot可用can never 替代。
④must表示“一定；必须”。表示推测时，只能用于肯定句，意为“一定；肯定”，作此解时，must的否定形式不是mustn't，而是can't/couldn't。

此外，建议参加各种课外活动，对你也有益处。
答案：①It is obvious　②it is a good idea that　③it's suggested that

It is/was obvious that ... 显而易见……，显然……
it作形式主语，后面的that从句才是真正的主语。
此处it没有具体意义，而只是帮助把真正的主语移至句子末尾，使句子显得平衡。常见的句式有：
(1)It be＋形容词(obvious, true, possible, strange, natural, important ...)＋that从句
(2)It be＋过去分词(said, thought, hoped, believed, supposed, reported ...)＋that从句
(3)It＋不及物动词(seem, occur, happen ...)＋that从句
(4)It be＋名词短语(a good idea, a pity, a fact, a wonder, an honour, no wonder ...)＋that从句

篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美籍华人在纽约举办的第二届国际孔子文化节。
1．as　考查介词。固定短语serve as “充当，作为”。

3．features　考查动词的时态。根据本句前后时态一致可知用一般现在时。
4．written　考查非谓语动词。book与write之间是被动关系，故用动词的过去分词形式，written作book的后置定语。
5．basic　考查词性转换。修饰名词necessities要用base的形容词形式basic。
6．living　考查非谓语动词。介词后面应用v.­ing形式。
7．first 　考查数词。根据空格前的the可知此处应用序数词，the first International Confucius Cultural Festival “第一届国际孔子文化节”。

难项分析：
第二处：Talked→Talking　考查非谓语动词。I和talk about之间为主动关系，且talk about和expect to be所表示的动作同时发生，故用现在分词作状语。
第五处：I前加and　考查连词。分析句子结构并结合语境可知，前后两句话为并列关系，故应用连词and。
第八处：for→to　考查介词。be beneficial to表示“对……有益”。
