tv games shows
one of the most fascinating things about television is the size of the audience. a novel can be on the "best sellers" list with a sale of fewer than 100,000copies, but a popular tv show might have 70 million tv viewers. tv can make anything or anyone well known overnight.
this is the principle behind "quiz " or " game" shows, which put ordinary people on tv to play a game for the prize and money. a quiz show can make anyone a star, and it can give away thousands of dollars just for fun. but all of this money can create problems. for instance, in the 1950s, quiz shows were very popular in the u.s. and almost everyone watched them. charles van doren, an english instructor, became rich and famous after winning money on several shows. he even had a career as a television personality. but one of the losers proved that charles van doren was cheating. it turned out that the show's producers, who were pulling the strings, gave the answers to the most popular contestants beforehand. why? because if the audience didn't like the person who won the game, they turned the show off. based on his story, a movie under the title" quiz show " is on 40 years later.
charles van doren is no longer involved with tv. but game shows are still here, though they aren't taken as seriously. in fact, some of them try to be as ridiculous as possible. there are shows that send strangers on vacation trips together, or that try to cause newly-married couples to fight on tv, or that punish losers by humiliating them. the entertainment now is to see what people will do just to be on tv. people still win money, but the real prize is to be in front of an audience of millions.

the government has since banned a11 ferries and other boats from traveling at night during the april-may stormy season． ．

the cherokee nation
long before the white man came to america, the land belonged to the american indian nations. the nation of the cherokees lived in what is now the southeastern part of the united states.
after the white man came, the cherokees copied many of their ways. one cherokee named sequoyah saw how important reading and writing was to the white man. he decided to invent a way to write down the spoken cherokee language. he began by making word pictures. for each word he drew a picture. but that proved impossible -- there were just too many words. then he took the 85 sounds that made up the language. using his own imagination and an english spelling book, sequoyah invented a sign for each sound. his alphabet proved amazingly easy to learn. before long, many cherokees knew how to read and write in their own language. by 1828, they were even printing their own newspaper.
in 1830, the u.s. congress passed a law. it allowed the government to remove indians from their lands. the cherokees refused to go. they had lived on their lands for centuries. it belonged to them. why should they go to a strange land far beyond the mississippi river?
the army was sent to drive the cherokees out. soldiers surrounded their villages and marched them at gunpoint into the western territory. the sick, the old and the small children went in carts, along with their belongings. the rest of the people marched on foot or rode on horseback. it was november, yet many of them still wore their summer clothes. cold and hungry, the cherokees were quickly exhausted by the hardships of the journey. many dropped dead and were buried by the roadside. when the last group arrived in their new home in march 1839, more than 4,000had died. it was indeed a march of death.

snow ranger
the two things – snow and mountains – which are needed for a ski area are the two things that cause avalanches, large mass of snow and ice crushing down the side of a mountain—often called "white death."
it was the threat of the avalanche and its record as a killer of man in the western mountains that created the snow ranger. he first started on avalanche control work in the winter of 1937 –38 at alta, utah, in wasatch national forest.
this mountain valley was becoming well known to skiers. it was dangerous. in fact, more than 120 persons had lost their lives in 1936 and another 200 died in 1937 as a result of avalanches before it became a major ski area.
thus, development of alta and other major ski resorts in the west was dependent upon controlling the avalanche. the forest service set out to do it, and did, with its corps of snow rangers.
it takes many things to make a snow ranger. the snow ranger must be in excellent physical condition. he must be a good skier and a skilled mountain climber he should have at least a high school education, and the more college courses in geology, physics, and related fields he has, the better.
he studies snow, terrain, wind, and weather. he learns the conditions that produce avalanches. he learns to forecast avalanches and to bring them roaring on down the mountainsides to reduce their killing strength. . the snow ranger learns to do this by using artillery, by blasting with tnt, and by the difficult and skillful art of skiing avalanches down.
the snow ranger, dressed in a green parka which has a bright yellow shoulder patch, means safety for people on ski slopes. he pulls the trigger on a 75 mm. recoilless rifle, skis waist deep in powder testing snow stability, or talks with the ski area’s operator as he goes about his work to protect the public from the hazards of deep snow on steep mountain slopes.
1. the snow rangers are employees of
a) the forest service.
b) the resource bureau.
c) the tourist board.
d) the sports bureau.
2.a snow ranger himself must be
a) a college graduate.
b) a physicist.
c) a geologist.
d) a mountaineer.
3. a snow ranger uses very powerful guns
a) to warn skiers of an approaching avalanche.
b) to signal for help in an emergency.
c) to create an avalanche.
d) to communicate with the ski area’ operator.
4. what is the primary duty of the snow ranger?
a) to make sure ski area operators are following safety rules.
b) to predict and control avalanches in mountainous areas.
c) to check skis and repair them.
d) to forecast the weather.
5.the passage implies that a snow ranger
a) knows how to use a pistol.
b) must write lengthy reports on his work.
c) may travel many miles when he is on duty.
d) has a long working day.

the building of the pyramids
the oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids. __1__. there are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. the most famous of these are the “ step ” pyramid and “ bent ”pyramid.
some of the pyramids still look much the same as they must have done when they were built thousands of years ago. most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings.__2__. these are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever.
__3__. however, there are no writings or pictures to show us how the egyptians planned or built the pyramids themselves. __4__. nevertheless, by examining the actual pyramids and various tools which have been found, archaeologists have formed a fairly clear picture of them.
one thing is certain: there must have been months of careful planning before they could begin to build. __5__. you may think this would have been easy with miles and miles of empty desert around, but a pyramid could not be built just anywhere. certain rules had to be followed, and certain problems had to be overcome.
a the dry climate of egypt has helped to preserve the pyramids, and their very shape have made them less likely to fall into ruin.
b it is practically certain that plans were made for the building of the pyramids because the plans of other large works have fortunately been preserved.
c the first thing they had to do was to choose a suitable place.
d consequently, we are only able to guess at the methods used.
e many people were killed while building the pyramids.
f they have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet.

答案及解析
第一部分：辭彙選擇（第1-15題，每題1分，共15分）
下面共有15句子，每個句子均有一個詞或短語劃有底橫線，請從每個句子後面所給的四個選項中選擇一個與劃線部分意義最相近的詞或短語。答案一律塗在答題卡相應的位置上。
1. b. 分析：藉助畫線短語核心詞（bring）的基本含義—“帶來/引起”，並藉助與畫線結構相直接相關的結構含義（質量控制系統被..）判斷b(引進)是答案。該句含義是“將引進一種新的質量控制系統以克服公司產品出現的缺陷。”invest: vt.（常與in連用）投入（資金，精力，時間等） ； insist: vi, vt（常與on, that連用）主張；堅持, 堅持要求(賓語從句跟虛擬語氣結構)
2． b。分析：and的使用表明前後兩個結構是在語法結構對稱，且含義上色彩一致，這樣排除a（“發展”和“失去重要性”在詞義色彩上相反）和d（renew = re + new（re表示“再次”）），所以可推出renew是“更新”）。 藉助句意判斷disappear（消失）是答案。該句含義是“舊的公司失去了它們的重要性，而其中的一些公司完全得消失了。”link vt, vi（常與together, to, with連用）連線。
3． a。分析：break有多種含義。break是“打破, 違犯, 折斷,超過”，而被選項中只有a有“打”的含義，所以判斷beat是答案。該句含義是“在奧運會上每當運動員打破了以往的比賽記錄人們就會為之而歡呼興奮。”另外，maintain，announce和match都是常見詞， 基本含義分別是“保持”，“宣布”和“比得上”。
4．a. 分析：根據句意（“政府正在..教育法”）排除b（搭配詞義不通順），c和d（c和d都通常和進行時態連用）。debate: vt, vi討論，爭論;discuss : vt談論；討論；商討(with sb. )；delay: vt, vi, n. 推遲；延緩 ；decline: vt, vi下降；下滑；下傾
5． d。分析：在該句中yield 是用作名詞（因為該詞的前面有不定冠詞a），分析：抓住句子中與劃線部分相關的結構或用詞特點：能與不定冠詞a搭配使用的被選項只有c和d（氣候，傾向， 風氣，如：a mild climate溫和的氣候）。再藉助句子中其他特徵詞：farm，判斷harvest“收成”是答案。該句含義是“這一年中他們的收成要比數英里以外的其他任何農場的收成都好得多。”yield: vt, vi出產, （常與to連用）放棄；投降；讓步 n. 產量；收成
6．a。分析：劃線短語是動詞短語，對於該短語的語義有兩種查找方法：1。利用動詞do，直接在字典中查找do away with 這個短語的語義。不難得出該短語的語義是“去掉”，所以a是答案；2。利用該短語中的詞義推測：away是“離開”，而備選項中： set up是“建立”， repair是“修理”， paint 是“油漆, 描繪”，都與“離開”無關，所以只有get rid of是答案。該句句意是“這座城市已經決定把位於市中心的所有的舊的建築物都廢棄掉。”
7．c. 分析：根據畫線詞的家族詞（drama）的本義和與畫線詞搭配的結構的含義（“變化”），判斷c是答案。該句含義是“在過去的十年中，在國際形式方面已經出現了顯著的變化。”striking: adj. 引人注意的；顯著的；dramatic: adj. 戲劇的；有關戲劇的; 引人注目的。
8. a。分析：利用被選項的特點：a和b是正反項，所以重點注意。而b,c 和d都是近義詞，表示“可能的”，所以相互排除掉。答案是a。該句含義是“檢察員明天不可能會來。”out of the question adv. 不可能;另外，likely 還可以用作副詞，表示“ 或許, 很可能”。
9. c。分析：根據句意（人們正在研製開發…太陽能的技術。）判斷c合適。convert vt.使轉變, 轉換...； store vt.貯藏, 貯備, 存儲n.商店, 店鋪, 貯藏。
10. d。分析：根據構詞法：劃線詞的前部分是 damage（破壞），即damaging是動詞damage的分詞，所以推測該詞義大概是“破壞的” 。而備選答案都是常見辭彙，其中只有harmful是“破壞的”，因此可以推斷harmful是答案。該句含義是“從經濟大蕭條以後，美國政府一直在（採取措施）使農民避免遭受到由於糧食價格的下降而帶來的損失”。
11． b。分析：seldom是常見辭彙，該詞義是“很少地” 。而備選答案中rarely也是常見的否定副詞，是“很少地”。該句含義是“水泥在中世紀的建築中很少使用。”
12． c。分析：根據句意（醫學依靠其他領域獲得它所需要的基本信息，尤其是這些領域中的一些從事專門研究的領域）判斷c（尤其是）最合適。conventionally adv.按照慣例；inevitably adv.不可避免；obviously adv.明顯地
13. a.分析：astonish 和amaze是近義詞，表示“使驚訝”， amount作動詞用時經常和介詞to連用，表示 “總計, 等於”， amuse是“使愉快”，approach可用作動詞表示“接近”，或作名詞表示“方法，途徑”。該句含義是“我們很驚訝的得知他們的足球隊曾經贏得過冠軍。”
14．b。分析：steady 和stable是近義詞，都可表示“穩定的”， 所以可以相互排除掉。再根據構詞法：plentiful = plenti(y) + ful 判斷b的含義是“大量的”。藉助句意“在這個國家裡有大量的廉價勞動力”判斷b最合適。
15．d。分析：crucial“至關緊要的”和 urgent“緊急的”含義最接近。該句句意是“任何經濟體系所面臨的最至關緊要的的問題是如何使用它稀少的資源”。puzzling adj.(使)迷惑的, (使)為難的； terrifying adj.使感到恐怖的;
第二部分：閱讀判斷（每題1分，共七分）
閱讀下面這篇短文，短文後列出了七個句子，請根據短文的內容對每個句子作出判斷。如果該句提供的是正確信息，請在答題卡上把a塗黑；如果該句提供的是錯誤信息，請在答題卡上把b塗黑；如果該句的信息文章中沒有提及，請在答題卡上把c塗黑
tv games shows
1. a。 答案查找的線索詞：world-famous overnight（一夜成名）或 beggar（乞丐）。從第一段開始查找，不難在第一段的最後一句中找到含有world-famous overnight的相關句，於是對照原句和問題句，原句說電視可讓anything（一切）和 anyone（一切人）一夜成名，所以當然包括beggar，所以這句話正確。
2. b。 該句是一長句，解這道題的關鍵首先是讀懂問題句的結構，了解它說的是什麼。該句是說“猜謎節目背後的原則是為了讓普通人參加贏取獎品和獎金的電視節目”。答案查找的線索詞：ordinary people (普通人)。從第二段開始查找（因為問題一的答案在第一句的最後依據），不難在第二段的第一句中找到含有ordinary people的相關句。對照原句和問題句，不難發現原句的結構與問題句的結構有所不同： 原句中有代詞：this，說“這就是猜謎節目背後的原則”，而代詞往往指代前一句的內容，可見“tv can make anything or anyone well-known overnight.”才是猜謎節目背後的原則。所以該句說法錯誤。
3. c。 答案查找的線索詞：provide(提供)或 companies and tv stars（電視明星和大公司）。從第二段開始查找，但查找完全文也沒發現這些線索詞，可見該問題並沒在原文中提到，所以答案為：not mentioned。
4. b。該句也是長句，所以首先要弄清楚問題句的大意。 該問題句說“charles van doren被證明通過勸說節目製作人事先給他答案來進行欺騙”。 答案查找的線索詞：charles van doren(人名) 和cheating（欺騙）。從第二段開始查找，不難從第二段的第五行開始找到含有charles van doren的相關句，再找另一線索詞：cheating，於是又進一步在該段找到直接相關行（7-10行）。對照原文和問題句，不難發現原文是說“為了吸引觀眾，節目製作人主動把答案事先告訴charles van doren”。所以該句說法錯誤。
5. b。該句也是長句，所以首先要弄清楚問題句的大意。 該問題句說“大量電視節目中的欺騙醜聞40年以後才在名為‘quiz show’的電影中被暴光”。 答案查找的線索詞：40 years和 quiz show。從第二段短末開始查找，不難從第二段的最後一句找到含有這兩個線索詞的直接相關句。不難發現原文並不是說“40年後該電影才暴光這一醜聞”，原句只是說“名為quiz show的電影在40年後才上演”，所以該句說法錯誤。
6. a。 答案查找的線索詞：nowadays（現在）或 seriously（嚴肅地）。從第三段開始查找，不難在第三段的第二句中找到含有seriously的相關句。對照原句和問題句，原句說“這種節目仍然在電視上播放，但人們對它的態度不再象從前那樣認真。”，與問題句的大意相符，所以這句話正確。
7. b。 答案查找的線索詞：get money from the shows(從節目中得到錢)。從第三段開始查找，不難在第三段的最後一句中找到與get money from the shows語義相近的詞：win money.對照原句和問題句，原句說人們仍然可以贏得錢，所以問題句的大意與原句不符。
第三部分：概括大意與完成句子 （每題1分，共8分）
閱讀下面這篇短文，短文後有2項測試任務：（1）1---4 題要求從所給的6個選項中為第2--5 段每段選擇1個正確的小標題；（2）第5--8題要求從所給的6個選項中選擇4個正確的選項，分別完成每個句子。請將答案塗在答題卡相應的位置上。

1. 答案為e. 該段最後一句（總結句）提到司機的離車不鎖車門給盜車造成很好的機會。
2. 答案為b。第二段段首句的含義為“近十多年來，汽車犯罪比其它犯罪有一個大的增長。”而b句的含義為“汽車盜竊的上升”，此句義與該段段首句的含義吻合。因此，b是合適的選擇。
3. 答案為c。第三段段首句的含義為“儘管參與汽車犯罪中有職業的罪犯，但90%的汽車盜竊是由抓住機會盜竊的人幹的。”而c中就包含了opportunity 這一線索詞，因此c是合適的選擇。
4. 答案為a。第四段段首句的含義為“有其它的許多陷阱需要避免。”而a說“安全停放車輛”，d說“反盜竊的組織”，而很容易就能在第四段中發現多處parking這樣的詞，依據此判斷a是合適的選擇。
5.答案為a。to blame…on的含義為“把。。歸罪於。。”，此問題句的語義為 “大多數的汽車犯罪應歸罪於什麼。”，根據做前面的題所了解的信息可知司機的不小心是誘因，所以答案是a。
6. 答案為b。在b，c，d，e和f 這些備選答案中，big只能與b中increase連用，所以答案肯定是b。
7. 答案為c。此問題句的語義為 “大多數的汽車犯罪是由誰造成的。”，根據做前面的題所了解的信息可知應該是非職業的罪犯乾的，所以答案是c。
8. 答案為e。答案相關句在第4段的第2句和第3句。
第四部分：閱讀理解（每題3分，共45分）
下面有3篇短文，每篇短文後有5道題，每道題後面有4個選項。請仔細閱讀短文並根據短文回答其後面的問題，從4個選項中選擇1個最佳答案塗在答題卡相應的位置上。
第1篇
storms sink ships
1． a 該題問的是：在兩次渡船失事中已發現多少人死了?第一段第一個句子說到“救援人員已經找到了在盂加拉國的兩次渡船失事中的130多人的屍體”。當然，實際的死亡人數還要高。
2? c。該題問的是：這兩次渡船失事發生在什麼時候?這是一道推理題。文章中沒有一個句子直接地提供了這方面的信息。但是第三段間接地傳遞了這方面的信崽：政府自此後禁止所有的渡船和其他船隻在四五月的暴風季節夜航。
3? d。 該題問的是：渡船mv mitali設計載客量是多少?答案在第四段的第二句：把大約400個旅客裝進了只能容納300個旅客的空間。
4 d。 該題問的是：官員們解釋船隻失事的原因是什麼?倒數第三段說到了缺乏安全措施
5．c．該題問的是： 下面有關這兩次渡船失事的說法哪種是錯的？第5段有這樣一句話：沒有人真正知道當時有多少人在船上，也不知道有多少人還活著，第6段是這么說的：盂加拉國的渡船不是總能留下乘客的名單的，使得確認船上確切的人數很困難。
第2篇
the cherokee nation
1．b．問題問“柴羅基部落過去生活在什麼地方？”。答案查找線索詞：柴羅基部落及live(居住)。於是在第1段的最後一句中找到答案相關句.
2．a．問題問“sequoyah從白人哪兒拷貝來的其中一個方法是什麼？”。答案查找線索詞：sequoyah 和the white man（白人）。第2段的段首句說“白人來了以後，柴羅基人從白人哪兒拷貝了許多白人的方法。”，然後接著說“一個被稱為sequoyah的柴羅基人怎樣，怎樣。”，可見答案相關句在該段。該段提到了“柴羅基人做了文字圖片”，於是否定了答案b；該段的最後依據並不是說“是從白人哪兒學會的報紙印刷”，所以否定答案d；而該段中也未說“教他的人民識字”；所以答案只能是a（記下口語）。而該段的確是講從白人哪兒學會運用字母符號記錄發音的方法。
3．c．問題問“1830年通過的法律的內容是什麼？”。藉助答案線索詞1830 查找答案相關句。很快發現第3段包含該年代。段首句說“1830年，美國國會通過了一條法律。”，接著的一句又說“該法律允許政府把印第安人從他們的土地上驅逐出去。”。依據此判斷a錯誤（a說讓印第安人留在他們自己的土地上。），同時據此判斷b也不對（b說派軍隊去幫助柴羅基人。）c說“逼迫柴羅基人西行。”，d說“禁止柴羅基人讀他們自己的報紙”，相比之下，c的說法更接近原文。
4．d．問題問“在什麼時候柴羅基人開始離開了他們的土地？”。在第4段中發現“the sick, the old and the small children went in carts, … the rest of the people on foot or rode on horseback.”中包含了前三個備選答案，所以答案是d（上述所有的內容）。
5．c． 問題問“許多的柴羅基人死在了他們去往新家園的路上，這主要是因為什麼原因？”。在第4段剩下的部分中不難發現“the cherokees were quickly exhausted by the hardships of the journey.”一句，該句說“柴羅基人很快就被旅途的艱辛弄的筋疲力盡。”對比四個備選答案的語義，不難判斷c合適（沒有食物和衣物印證旅途的艱辛。）
第3篇
snow ranger
1. a。該題問“‘雪地管理員’受僱於誰？”。藉助備選答案的特點：答案都是專有名詞（首字母都大寫且名詞前有定冠詞the），所以可以在文章中迅速查找首字母大寫的專有名詞，然後確認答案。很容易在第四段中發現" the forest service set out to do it, and did, with its crops of snow rangers"，該句說“森林服務部和它的護雪場工作人員隊伍一起著手做這件事（指控制雪崩）並且做到了”，所以從這句話確認答案是a。
2．d．該題問“‘雪地管理員’必須是什麼樣的人？”。這道題可以依據常識判斷：備選答案中：a說“大學畢業生”；b說“物理學家”；c說“地質學家”；d說“登山運動員”。依據常識，d最合理，所以選擇d。而如果依據原文：文章中的第五段的段首句說“要成為雪地管理員需要很多的條件”，所以判斷答案相關句應在該段中。該段說“雪地管理員應是優秀的登山運動員” ，所以d是答案。
3．c．該題問“‘雪地管理員’使用有很強殺傷力的槍？”。這道題可以依據線索詞在句中尋找答案。線索詞： powerful gun（很強殺傷力的槍）或其與其近義的短語。於是在第6段中的最後一行中發現gun的近義詞artillery，所以找到了答案相關句。該句的前一句說“雪地管理員要使雪崩沿著山坡轟隆隆地滾下” ，所以c是答案，c說“ 製造雪崩”。
4． b。該題問“‘雪地管理員’的主要責任是什麼？”。這道題可以依據常識判斷：備選答案中：a說“確保滑雪場地的操作員遵守安全規則”；b說“預測和控制山區的雪崩”；c說“檢查並修理雪橇”；d說“預測天氣”。依據常識和前一題判斷b最合理。
5．c。該題問“該短文暗示‘雪地管理員’怎樣？”。這道題可以依據常識判斷：備選答案中：a說“知道怎樣使用手槍”；b說“必須寫有關其工作的長篇報告”；c說“值班時可能會滑行數英里”；d說“工作時間很長”。依據常識和已有的對文章的了解推斷c最合理。而如果依據原文：文章中提到了“槍”的使用，所以a不是答案。 在第5段中說“雪地管理員”必須是身體素質好”所以暗示答案c。
第五部分：補全短文（每題2分，共10分）
閱讀下面的短文，文章中有5處空白，文章後有6組文字，請根據文章的內容選擇5組文字，將其分別放會文章原有位置，以恢復文章原貌。請將答案塗在答題卡相應的位置。
the building of the pyramids
1. f。第一句說“金字塔是世界上最古老的石頭建築”， f說“它們已經屹立了將近5000年並且似乎會繼續存在數前年”，以實際數字說明了第1句。
2. a。a說“埃及乾燥的氣候有助於保持金字塔，金字塔自身的形狀也使之不容易毀壞。”空格後句的主語these就是指這兩個原因。
3. b。b說“幾乎可以確定的是（埃及人）為建造金字塔指定了施工方案，因為有些其他大型建築的工程圖已被幸運地保存下來，”後一句說“然而沒有文字記錄或圖片告訴我們埃及人如何設計或建造金字塔。”。這兩句在意思上形成轉折。
4. d。根據本段前面兩句的句意這裡應該選擇d（因此，我們只能猜測他們使用的方法）。
5. c。該段首句說有一件事情確定無疑，即他們（埃及人）開工前一定花了數月時間仔細設計建造方案，c說“他們要做的第一件事情就是選址”，和第一句意思連貫，而且下文中的this只能指選址這件事。
第六部分：完型填空 （每題1分，共15分）
閱讀下面的短文，文中有15處空白，每處空白給出了4個選項，請根據短文的內容從4個選項中選擇1個最佳答案，並塗在答題卡相應的位置上。
the white house
1．c．該空格後是a long walk 作畫線詞的賓語，而take a walk 是慣用型結構，表示去散步，而其它的動詞不與 walk搭配。
2．a． 被選項中有than出現時看句子前半部分是否有比較結構。該空前面有一比較級的結構：larger， 而這就暗示句子的後面部分可能有than 引出被比較的成分。
3．a．該空位於句首，在所在句中用作連詞（該空與所在句之間沒有逗號隔開。），再藉助分句之間的句意關係判斷最後的選項。從句意上看：前一句說“這座城市比我想像的要大”，而空格所在句說“商業區比我想像的要小”，因此這兩句的句義有轉折。
4．c．四個備選答案都可表示原因，看原文：空格後是一從句，因此空格處需要引導從句的連詞，而初步來說a，b和c在語法上都合適。再仔細比較這三個選項：since和 as引導的表原因的從句往往有一逗號與主句分開，而because的語氣很強，其引導的從句不與主句分開。
5．b． much of和 most of分別修飾不可數名詞和可數名詞，原文中空格後是可數名詞，所以選擇most of。
6．a．四個備選答案均與open一詞相關，而open既可作形容詞用又可用作動詞，而形容詞表示狀態，具有延續性。原文中白宮從10點到12點的對公眾開放是屬於經常性的動作，有延續性，因此選擇作形容詞的open。
7．a．四個備選答案均可用作副詞，而只有pretty修飾副詞，其它三個詞均修飾動詞。原文中該畫線詞是修飾副詞的，所以選擇pretty。
8．c．四個備選答案中有介詞，動名詞，和副詞。而畫線詞後是名詞短語，畫線詞前是一逗號與主句隔開，因此該畫線處應引導表示伴隨狀態的結構，所以用with。
9．c．空格前是ground（土地），因此選擇 cover，表示“占據”了多大的面積。
10．b．on each side是表示“每一邊”。
11．d．備選答案都是連詞。空格後是一從句，空格前是一名詞，因此判定空格所在的從句應為定語從句或同位語從句。選擇where。
12．c．name after是固定的搭配，表示“根據。。而命名”。
13．a．cloth是布料， clothes是衣服， clothing是衣服的總稱， cloths是指不同種類的料子。但該句中已經有silk 限定，因此只能選a。
14．b．furniture是不可數名詞，因此說一件家具時，我們說 a piece of furniture， pieces of furniture是家具的複數形式， 其前面還可用many來修飾。
15．d．備選答案均為連詞。空格前是時間名詞，空格後是一從句，因此該從句應為定語從句，而when引導表時間的定語從句。
