【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，向读者介绍了托福考试的一些相关内容，包括考查项目、参加次数以及托福考试的影响和作用等。
1．to study考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空格处应用动词不定式表示目的。故填to study。
2．measures考查动词的时态和主谓一致。本文用的是一般现在时，“The TOEFL test”是第三人称单数，所以谓语动词要用单数第三人称形式。故填measures。
3．how考查副词。句意为：它评价你把你的听、说、读、写能力结合起来的程度。how well指程度如何。故填how。
4．skills考查名词复数。听、说、读、写是四种能力，所以要用名词skill的复数形式skills。
5．their考查物主代词。句意为：超过3 000万来自世界各地的人参加托福考试来展示他们的英语语言能力。空格处修饰名词“English-language competence”，指
前面提到的“30 million people”的能力，应用形容词性物主代词。故填their。6．more考查形容词的比较级。由空格后的“than”可知，此处应用many的比较级形式。故填more。
7．but考查连词。前一句说只要你愿意，你可以多次重复参加托福考试，后一句说你不能在12天的时间内连续报考。前后两句话在意思上是转折关系。故填but。
8．widely考查词性转换。此处应用副词修饰动词“respected”，故填所给词的副词形式widely。
9．organized考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空格处应用非谓语动词形式。逻辑主语“The TOEFL test”和动词organize构成被动关系，所以要用过去分词形式。故填organized。
10．including考查词性转换。此处指包括澳大利亚、加拿大、英国和美国。应用所给词的介词形式including，意为“包含，包括”。
