1. 句意表明紫金山是南京最高的山，要用形容词high的最高级形式highest；2. 修饰名词culture需用形容词，Japan的形容词形式为Japanese；3. take a tour是固定短语，意为“游览”，故填tour；4. 此处用过去分词called作后置定语修饰the boy，表示“被叫做汤姆的男孩”；5. direct后接名词，fly的名词形式是flight，take a direct flight表示“乘坐直达航班”；6. 主语English and Chinese与动词speak是被动关系，且时态为一般现在时，故用一般现在时的被动语态are spoken；7. 表示“第二个孩子”要用序数词，two的序数词是second；8. since引导的时间状语从句中，主句为现在完成时，从句用一般过去时，leave的过去式是left。
