79．句意：在德国，大多数孩子小时候就学习骑自行车。但如果他们想在马路上独自骑自行车，就必须通过一项测试。“by oneself”是固定搭配，表示“独自地；单独地”，这里主语是“they”，所以要用相应的反身代词。故填themselves。

86．句意：如果学生们通过测试，他们将获得自行车驾照。在“if”引导的条件状语从句中，主句用一般将来时，从句用一般现在时表将来，主语“students”是复数，所以用动词原形“pass”，表示“通过”。 故填pass。
87．句意：然后他们就为上路做好准备了！“be ready for sth.”是固定搭配，表示“为某事做好准备”，这里表示为上路做好准备，所以填“for”。故填for。
