答案與解析
1.【答案】 A
本題考查固定搭配。本句意為他們的業(yè)余生活要由陌生人來(lái)照料。in the hands of是固定搭配，表示“由……控制或照料”。
2.【答案】B
分析句子語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)，grown children過(guò)去分詞作定語(yǔ)，意為長(zhǎng)大的孩子，過(guò)去分詞做定語(yǔ)表示完成或被動(dòng)。
3.【答案】C
regular 定期的、有規(guī)律的;normal 正常的;constant 經(jīng)常的;lasting 持續(xù)的。根據(jù)上下文，該句的意思是：他們沒(méi)有定期來(lái)看望的人。所以選C。
4.【答案】A
根據(jù)前面的myth(神話(huà))說(shuō)明這個(gè)故事 是imaginary 不真實(shí)的、虛構(gòu)的;而imaginable 可想象的;imaginative 富于想象力的;imagery肖像，故選A。
5.【答案】A
分析句子語(yǔ)法成分。the care做先行詞，被that引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句所修飾，其余三個(gè)詞不能引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句。
6.【答案】B
根據(jù)上下文，此處的意思是“研究美國(guó)家庭是如何改變的”，how引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句，表示“如何、怎么樣”。
7.【答 案】D
average指一般、通常的情況;common 普通的，強(qiáng)調(diào)大部分;ordinary與special相對(duì)立，強(qiáng)調(diào)普遍性;standard 標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的。
8.【答案】C
分析此 句，這句話(huà)是對(duì)前一句的進(jìn)一步闡述因此用moreover，表示兩句間遞進(jìn)的關(guān)系。如果further加上more，也表示遞進(jìn)關(guān)系。whereas 鑒于，考慮到。
9.【答案】B
ago 以前，指從現(xiàn)在算起，一般用于一般過(guò)去時(shí);before是從過(guò)去某個(gè)時(shí)刻算起，用于過(guò)去完成時(shí)。
10.【答案】A
此空與a common characteristic(普遍的特征)構(gòu)成動(dòng)賓結(jié)構(gòu)。 share共享,共有;consent同意，divide分開(kāi)，只有share能與其搭配。所以選A。
11.【答案】B
分析句 子，they are決定這里要用復(fù)數(shù)，故選people，character人物，性格。
12.【答案】C
would表示一種 意愿，can表示能力。主句是過(guò)去時(shí)，故選could。
13.【答案】B
questioned和inquired表示“詢(xún)問(wèn)、疑 問(wèn)”;interrogate意為“審問(wèn)”。故interviewed“面試、訪問(wèn)”符合句意。
14.【答案】C
本題考查固定搭 配。take on 承擔(dān);take in 欺騙、收容;take up 從事;take off 脫下、起飛。take on符合句意，承擔(dān)照顧年老親戚的責(zé)任。
15.【答案】D
obligation 責(zé)任、義務(wù);admiration 羨慕;initiative 首創(chuàng)的，開(kāi)始的;necessity 必要性。本句與上句意思相近，故選obligation。
16.【答案】 C
本題考查動(dòng)詞用法。make sb. do sth.表示“使某人做……”，符合句意。cause sb.to do導(dǎo)致某人做……;enable sb.to do使某人能夠做……;get sb.to do讓某人做……
17.【答案】A
該句意為“希望通過(guò)幫助別人，在自己需要依靠時(shí)得到關(guān)心”，someone在這里泛指某個(gè)人。anyone, anybody指任何人，everyone指每個(gè)人。
18.【答案】B
dependent 依靠別人的;dependable 可靠的;independent 獨(dú)立的。根據(jù)句意，此處選B。
19.【答案】C
分析句子語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)，主語(yǔ)是caring for the elderly and being taken care of 兩件事因此選擇 mutually 共同地。similarly 同樣地、相似的;differently 不同地;certainly 當(dāng)然地。只有“共同地”符合句意。
20.【答案】A
根據(jù) 句意：這些事是每個(gè)人都可能涉及的。involved涉及、牽涉到;included 包含;excluded 排除在外、不包括;considered 考慮到。

Methods of studying vary; what works 1 for some students doesn’t work at all for others. The only thing you can do is experiment 2 you find a system that does work for you. But two things are sure: 3 else can do your studying for you, and unless you do find a system that works, you won’t although college. Meantime, there are a few rules that 4 for everybody. The hint is “don’t get 5 ”.The problem of studying, 6 enough to start with, becomes almost 7 when you are trying to do three 8 in one weekend. 9 the fastest readers have trouble 10 that. And if you are behind in written work that must be 11 , the teacher who accepts it 12 late will probably not give you good credit. Perhaps he may not accept it 13 . Getting behind in one class because you are spending so much time on another is really no 14 . Feeling pretty virtuous about the seven hours you spend on chemistry won’t 15 one bit if the history teacher pops a quiz. And many freshmen do get into trouble by spending too much time on one class at the 16 of the others, either because they like one class much better or because they find it so much harder that they think, they should 17 all their time to it. 18 the reason, going the whole work for one class and neglecting the rest of them is a mistake, if you face this 19 , begin with the shortest and easiest 20 . Get them out of the way and then go to the more difficult, time consuming work.

答案與解析
1.【答案】D
well是副詞，good是形容詞，不能修飾動(dòng)詞work,所以A不可。此處要與后面的 doesn’t work at all形成對(duì)比，sufficiently 不夠細(xì)心。
2.【答案】A
根據(jù)上下文，此句的意思 是“你一直進(jìn)行嘗試，直到找到適合自己的學(xué)習(xí)方法”。因而此處的連詞要表達(dá)“直到”的意思。
3.【答案】B
分析此句，線索是空格 后的else，兩個(gè)詞連起來(lái)表示“(除了你自己)，別的任何人都不能……”。
4.【答案】D
根據(jù)同義詞復(fù)現(xiàn)原則，此處與前文的 work同義，work表示起作用的意思。
5.【答案】A
get(fall, be)behind等都表示落后的意思，根據(jù)上下文，顯然是說(shuō)，我們?cè)趯W(xué)習(xí)上不要落后。
6.【答案】C
此處要求填一個(gè)形容 詞，hardly為副詞，意為“幾乎不，可排除”。又根據(jù)上下文，可以理解出這句話(huà)的意思應(yīng)該是：學(xué)習(xí)的問(wèn)題是，一開(kāi)始的時(shí)候是非常難的，而當(dāng)你想在一周 內(nèi)完成三周的事情時(shí)則變得幾乎是不可能的。這時(shí)談的是難度的問(wèn)題，因此選其他的答案是不合適的。如果直接解此題有困難，可以先做后面的題。
7.【答案】C
根據(jù)從句中的意思來(lái)判斷本題的答案。要在一周內(nèi)做三周的事，毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，應(yīng)當(dāng)說(shuō)這是幾乎不可能的。
8.【答案】 C
表面考的是所有格的用法，實(shí)際上考的是名詞的數(shù)。“三周”肯定是復(fù)數(shù)，week必須是復(fù)數(shù)形式;work是不可數(shù)名詞。答案就一目了然了。
9.【答案】 A
本題考查的是篇章詞匯。解題也有兩種方法。第一種方法從篇章的角度著手，承接上面一段，說(shuō)的是學(xué)習(xí)的困難，在這里顯然是說(shuō) “即使”是讀得最快的人也有困難，選A順理成章。第二種方法從句法著手。這是一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句，顯然不能填連詞和介詞，C、D明顯錯(cuò)誤。單就本句來(lái)說(shuō)，選 almost也是不能的。
10.【答案】B
本題考查固定搭配。 have trouble(in)doing sth.表示做某事有困難。
11.【答案】A
本題考查固定搭配。turn in 的意思是“交上去，上交”;turn up 出現(xiàn);turn out出來(lái)，結(jié)果是;give in 讓步。
12.【答案】 D
根據(jù)上下文，此處表示“過(guò)晚”之意，用too。
13.【答案】C
本題考查固定用法。not…at all，一點(diǎn)也不。
14.【答案】D
這一句及其下一句是說(shuō)因?yàn)?你在別的科花的時(shí)間太多而在另一科落后，前者不是后者的理由。所以此處要選表示“借口、理由”意思的詞，即excuse。solution解決方 法;method方法，途徑。
15.【答案】A
分析此句，此空表示籠統(tǒng)的“有用”的意思，可使用動(dòng)詞help。 encourage 鼓勵(lì);assist 協(xié)助;improve提高，改善。
16.【答案】 A
本題考查固定搭配。 at the expense of的意思是“以……為代價(jià)”。
17.【答案】A
本題考查固定搭配。devote…to是一個(gè)固定搭 配。
18.【答案】B
分析此句，此空后面是名詞reason，所以答案只能在A,B里選擇。其他兩項(xiàng)不能接名詞。根據(jù)句意，表示 “無(wú)論理由是什么”，所以選B。
19.【答案】C
分析此句，前面所說(shuō)的明顯是一種誘惑，所以要選temptation。 attraction 吸引;decision決定;dilemma窘境，困境。
20.【答案】D
分析上下文，前文說(shuō)的是上某課 的事，所以選class。arrangements安排;assignments 指派的職責(zé)或任務(wù)。
