（4）

Australia

（5）The US/America
【解析】
⑴猜測。根據(jù)解釋中l(wèi)ook after a child可知與小孩相關的單詞，而to look……說明是動詞，故填babysit。
⑵由to可知與from構(gòu)成搭配：from……to從……到……。從6月24到9月3日是暑假所持續(xù)的時間，故填lasts或is或goes； from。
⑶他們?nèi)シ侵蘅创笞匀换蛘呷?參觀)講英語的國家學英語。
⑷細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段第二句During the vacation, students have to finish their homework. 可知澳大利亞的學生在假期要做作業(yè)，所以答案是：Australia
⑸通讀全文可知美國的暑假：六月初到8月底；英國的暑假：6月24號到9月3號；法國的暑假：6月中旬到8月底；澳大利亞的暑假：12月底到二月初。所以美國的暑假時間最長。故填the US或America。
