试题分析：该类试题主要考察考生的语法水平。主要需要注意各个词的词性和词义，以及各种特殊结构等问题。

【1】oldest考察最高级。Oldest是old的最高级，表示最老的。结合句意，一个90岁的肯尼亚祖母成为世界上最年长的小学生。故用最高级

【2】known考察非谓语动词。这里also known as Gogo是一个定语，修饰主语Ms Sitienei。谓语是后面小句的is。所以这里只能用非谓语动词。而被熟知是一个被动的关系，所以用过去分词。

【3】helping 考察固定结构。Spend sometimes （in）doing something在某事上花时间。故这里用helping。

【4】could考察情态动词。结合句意，她在童年时期没有机会受教育，因为它的父母不能承担将她送到学校的费用。因为该句是一般过去式的时态，所以要用could。

【5】What考察主语从句。这里是what she expects most她最期待的，是该句子的主语。在主语从句中缺少宾语，故用what提问。

【6】to study考察固定结构inspire sb to do sth鼓励某人做某事。她最期待的事情是成为年轻人的榜样，激励她村子里的所有孩子学习。

【7】applied考察时态。该句的时态为一般过去式，所以谓语动词apply要变为applied。Apply to适用于、运用、致力于。

【8】hesitation考察without的复合结构。这是Without+名词的结构。所以要将hesitate变为hesitation。当她申请入学时，校长 Kinyanjui带着迟疑接受了这个学生。

【9】since 考察连词。Since表示自从，多用于过去时态。这里是一个时间状语从句，自从她来了，我看到学校发生了巨大的转变。

【10】With考察with的复合结构。这也是一个with+名词的结构。有了教育，你可以成为你想成为的任何人——医生、律师或者飞行员。
