A、theyreplyveryquicklyinahiirry

B、theychoosewordstoocarefully

C、theylikereplyingbriefly

D^（heywanttobeaspoliteastheycan

標準答案：C

知識點解析：文中第一句提了"OnestudyshowsthatAmericansprefertoanswerwith

abriefYes,tNo,tSure,,ortheverypopular4Yeahfatherthanwithalongerreply.“一

次調查顯示美國人更喜歡用簡短的回答，與C項相符，A項在文中也可找到，但

是并不符合題意。B、D兩項在文章中都未提及。

2、Thosewholikeusingbeautifulorformalwords.

A^needmoretimetogetusedtoAmericansimplegreeting

B、neednotimetogetfamiliarwithAmericangreeting

C、donotverymuchlikeAmericanwayofgreeting

D、thinkAmericansarenotpolitewhatever

標準答案：A

知識點解析：第一段最后一句說，“thosewhoareaccustomedtolongergreetingsmay

requirealittlemoretimebeforetheyfeelcomfortablewithAmericansimpletalk”“那些

習慣了較長問候的人們可能需要更長一些時間來適應美國人簡短的談話“，所以A

項符合題意。

A^Americansoftenanswerwiththewordslike"Sure""Yeah".

B、Theyarenotimpolitewitlibriefreplies.

C^Americansinhighranks:nustuseformalwordsingreeting.

D、Americansareawarmbutinformalpeople.

標準答案：C

知識點解析：本題考查考生對文章的理解。第一段倒數(shù)第二句說“Itisusedby

everyone,regardlessofrank,ageoroccupation.”“人們不分官職、年齡或是職業(yè)，

都使用簡短的對話?！盋項說“美國高官職的人都必須用正式用語”，與文章不符。

A、B和D三項都可以從文章第一段中找到依據(jù)。故選C。

4、TheAmericanslikeothers'praisebutifinapoliteway.

A、theydon'tknowwhattosayinreply

B、theyfeelsomewhatuneasy

C、theydon'twanttoreply

D、bothAandB

especiallypoliteway.(heymaybecomeuncomforiableandnotknowwhat(osayin

reply."如果有人用一種很禮貌的方式贊揚或是感謝美國人的話，他們會感到不自

在，而且不知如何應答。”A項說“他們不知如何應答”，B項說“他們感到不舒服/

不自然“，都符合題意，C項在原文中找不到依據(jù)。

5、Thepassageindicatesthat.

A^Americansexchangegiftsthefirsttimetheymeet

B、Americansseldomgivegiftsexceptforsomeholidays

C、Americansoftenbringsomegiftsto(heirfriends

D、Americansonlywanttogetgiftsfromothers

holidays,suchasChristmas：Americansdon'tusuallygivesifts."“除J’像圣誕節(jié)這

樣的節(jié)日之外，美國人不經常送禮物?！迸cB項相符合。A.C和D三項都在原文

中找不到依據(jù)，所以不正確。

periodofdryweather—wassomethingthathappenedonlyinAfrica,theyknowbetter

now.“如果歐洲人認為干旱天氣只會出現(xiàn)在非洲的話，那么他們現(xiàn)在更清楚地知

道了，情況并非如此?！耙虼耍琲heyknowbellernow意為“Iheyhaverealizedthat

droughtshitnotonlyAfricabutalsoEurope.”“歐洲人已經意識到干旱不僅會襲擊非

洲也會出現(xiàn)在歐洲。”

7、ThedroughtinEuropehasbroughtaboutallthefollowingproblems

EXCEPT.

A、below-normalrainfall

B、difficultnavigation

C、asharpdropinoysterharvest

D、bone-dryhill

標準答案：A

知識點解析：答案在第一段，從第三句到本段結束后可看出歐洲的干旱引起了以下

問題：船只航行困難，牡蠣產量下降，山丘干旱。低于平均水平的降雨量不屬于干

旱引起的問題，而應當是由于降雨量少引起干旱。因此A為正確答案。

8、TheBritishgovernmentintendsto.

A、fbrbidthecar-washingservice

B、increasethepriceofthewaterused

C、endthemiserycausedhythedrought

D、chargefeesfortheuseofthewater

標準答案：D

知識點解析：答案在第二段，有這樣的句子：InBritain,waterwillsoonbe

016至「。（1,1汰?8@5211（愴歸3「而".''在英國，水很快就會像煤氣和電一樣開始計量

了?！薄癟heEnglishhavealwaystakenwaterfbrgranted.英國人一直對水習以為

常?！薄癗owtheyareputtingapriceonit.”“他們現(xiàn)在要開始給水定價了。”因此英國

政府打算開始收水費。D為正確答案。

B、entertainment

C、liberty

D、happiness

標準答案：D

知識點解析：從第一段的第一句話我們可以知道，美國人特別崇尚追求快樂幸福的

生活，因此他們也特別注重幸福。因此D正確。A公正、B娛樂、C自由，這些都

與文章的意思不相符。

12、Accordingtothepassage,ifthestudentsinAmericacannotobtainscholarships,

grantsandloans,theyhaveto.

A、dependongovernmenttchelpthem

B、getcollegeadmissionbytheirownhardwork

C、dependonthemselvesevenincollege

D、borrowmoneyfromtheirparents

標準答案：C

知識點解析：由題干關鍵詞“scholarships,grantsandloans”定位至第二段第二句

“Allhoughtherearescholarships,grantsandloansavailable,ifthestudentfailstomeet

thecriteriaheisleftwithonlypersonalresourcestodrawfrom.”由此可知，假如學生

沒有資格獲得獎學金的話，那他只有用自己的財力支付這筆費用了。所以選C。A

依靠政府的幫助，這與文章中的意思“由自己承擔”不一致；B通過自己的努力學習

進入大學，這與誰來承擔費用沒有直接的關系；D向父母借錢，這與文章中的意思

也不一致。

13、Mostpeopleregardmoneyaslife'sobjectbecause.

A^moneyiseverythinginAmerica

B、itiseasytoearnmoneyinAmerica

C、moneyisasymbolofstatus

D、（heyrequiremoremoneyforsurvival

標準答案：D

知識點解析：由題干關鍵詞"moneyaslife'sobject”定位至第三段最后兩句“Even

thoughitmayseemlikeoneismakingmoremoney,justasmuchisspentin

surviring.Eachpersonhastheirownpersonalstruggleandmoneyisanobjectforthe

majorilyofIhepeople.”由此可知，即使一個人看起來賺「更多的錢，其實也只是

能滿足日常生活所需。所以一個人的生存需要更多的費用。A在美國錢是一切，B

在美國掙錢很容易，C金錢是地位的象征，根據(jù)上句分析可知，人們把錢作為一個

H標是因為他們的生活中需要許多錢，并不是因為上面列出的三種原因。

14、ThelaborforceinAmerica.

A、providesmanypositionsforapplicants

B、onlyneedsthepeoplewithadvancedscienceandtechnology

C、seldompromisesaqualifiedapplicantahighwage

D、hasfiercecompetitionoutofourimagination

標準答案：D

知識點解析：從第四段我們可以知道，隨著科技的不斷進步，對目前勞動力來說高

收入的工作更難找了。那些沒有接觸過計算機和其他信息手段的人很真實地體會到

了這一點。而且目前的就業(yè)市場對人們的要求是至少要接受過兩年的大學教育。所

以工作競爭比我們想象的要激烈得多，所以選D。

15、Whichofthefollowingistheexamplecitedbytheauthortotestifyhisjudgmentof

thelifeinAmerica?

A^Thedescriptioninmovies.

B、Higherwelfarestandard.

C,Technologicalsecurity.

D、Workforce.

標準答案：D

知識點解析：本文從三個方面來討論美國的生活并闡述觀點，第二段是從教育方

面，第三段是從收入方面，第四段是從美國工作方面來說的，所以只有D對應了

第四段內容，故選D。
