19、olate，you havent been paying attention(如果你认为你只有在咖啡，茶，可乐，或咬了一小口巧克力才会摄入它，那是你还没有重视到它)”可知选项中 B 最符合逻辑。2 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 根据空格前“Food manufacturers recognize a hot market when they see it，and with anywhere from 55to 90of the U Spopulation consuming caffeine every day( 食品制造商看到它时就知道它会有一个火热的市场，这个市场涉及每天消耗咖啡因的占美国
20、总人口的比重从 55到 90的任何地方)”，以及空格后“The popular Red Bull energy drink is one of them，andothers like caffeineinfused gum，mints，beer，candy，even soap-which is supposed to provide its caf-feine boost through the skin(流行的红牛能量饮料是其中之一，其他类似的如，有咖啡因注入的口香糖，薄荷糖，啤酒，糖果，甚至肥皂这应该是通过皮肤提供了咖啡因刺激)”，可知选项中 A 最符合逻辑。3 【正确答案】 C【试题解析
21、】 根据空格前“We know caffeine could work effectively by controlling neurotransmittersthat would normally make you sleepy，improving cognitive function and even athletic performance(我们知道咖啡因可能会有效控制通常会使你昏昏欲睡的神经递质，改善认知功能甚至运动性能)”，以及空格后“Exactly what level of caffeine is harmful is not clearly established，but ge
22、nerallymore than five cups of coffee is too much(究竟是什么水平的咖啡因是有害的，没有明确规定，但一般超过 5 杯咖啡就实在是太多了)”。两者相联系，可知选项中 C 最符合逻辑。4 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 根据空格前“you have to really work at it(你不得不认真面对它)”，以及空格后“attributed his irregular heartbeat to caffeine overuse(他的心律不齐归因于咖啡因摄入过度)”，可知选项中 D 最符合逻辑。5 【正确答案】 F【试题解析】 根据空格前“In a
23、country of caffeine addicts，its unlikely that youll never develop aserious problem，and there arent any repair centers for coffee dependence(在一个咖啡因成瘾的国家，不发展成一个严重问题是不可能的，目前还没有任何针对咖啡依赖的康复中心)”，由此可知选项中 F 最符合逻辑。二、填词补文6 【正确答案】 G【试题解析】 此处缺少谓语，需要填一个动词，这个动词还必须能和 to be 搭配，纵观备选单词只有两个动词：perceives 和 meet，由于主语 the
24、 United States 是第三人称单数，所以谓语动词不能是动词原形，meet 从语法上和意思上都不对，故排除；perceiveto be 属于常见用法，意思是 “把视为”，此句意思是“美国把自己视为中产阶级国家”，因此应选 G。7 【正确答案】 H【试题解析】 此处需要填一名词做主语。备选单词中有四个名词：variety，economy，survey 和 principles，根据上下文意思发现 economy 最适合本句句意：“经济在增长，越来越多的人拥有自己的房子”，此外，这几个名词只有 economy 与 grow 是常见搭配用法，因此应选 H。8 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 此
25、句需要填一个词作定语修饰名词 people，备选单词有三个形容词：good，better 和 successful，还有一个现在分词 changing。分析上下文发现successful 为最佳答案，另外，因为此处下一句提到了 “Successful people also”，这两句的主语应该是一样的，都是 successful people，因此应选 A。9 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 此处需要填一个名词，上句提到美国成功人士生活的流动性更大，换言之，他们常常移动和搬到不同的地方去住，a variety of 最适合此句句意，它的意思是“各种各样的，不同的”，此处旨在考查固定词组 a va
26、riety of 的用法。因此应选 C。10 【正确答案】 E【试题解析】 此句主谓宾齐全，不缺少句子的主要成分，应该填一副词。备选单词中只有两个副词：collectively 和 respectively，collectively 意思是“全体地，共同地”，respectively 意思是“各自地，分别地”，根据上下文意思和逻辑关系发现collectively 符合原句意思，respectively 只是个干扰项，因此应选 E。11 【正确答案】 J【试题解析】 此处需要填一名词，备选单词中有四个名词variety，economy，survey 和 principles，variety 和
27、economy 前面已用过，只剩下survey 和 principles，survey 意思是“调查”，放在此处意思不顺，principles 意思是“原则”，此句上文提到过 several values and principles，前后照应，这儿填principles 最适合句意：“美国中产阶级拥护的原则”，因此应选 J。12 【正确答案】 I【试题解析】 此处需填一名词，备选单词中有四个名词，其中variety，principles 和 economy 前面已用过，用排除法只剩下 survey 了，所以此空应该选 survey，survey 意思是“调查”，很适合此句句意：“一项美国和世
28、界调查报告显示”，因此应选 I。13 【正确答案】 K【试题解析】 此空较难，不妨将此题放在最后再选答案。此题旨在考察固定搭配make ends meet 的用法，make ends meet 的意思是“使收支相抵”，此处填 meet 符合原句句意：“如今 75的美国中产阶级认为他们无法再使收支相抵”，因此应选K。14 【正确答案】 L【试题解析】 此处需要填一个形容词。备选单词中有三个形容词：good，better和 successful，successful 已用过，asas 中间需要用形容词原级，故 better 也应该排除，better 其实就是个干扰项，所以正确答案为 good，因此
29、应选 L。15 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 此处需填一形容词或分词，几个形容词已用过或排除掉，只剩下现在分词 changing 了，文章的题目和本文讨论的主题就是“变化的美国中产阶级”，照应主题，这儿填 changing 非常适合句意“对美国中产阶级的理解和定义正在变化”，因此应选 B。三、完形补文16 【正确答案】 cultivated【试题解析】 本句空白处位于 be 动词后面，再根据空白处后面的 formed 以及and 后面的 developed 即可作出判断。因此将提示词动词 cultivate 加上-ed 变成所需过去分词 cultivated。17 【正确答案】 charact
30、eristically【试题解析】 本句句法结构完整，characteristic 作为形容词来修饰 American 语法不正确，因此将提示词形容词 characteristic 改为副词 characteristically。18 【正确答案】 diversity【试题解析】 本句空白处放在形容词 ethnic 后面，提示应填入名词。结合整句可以看出该空白处实际上和空白处前的 hard environment 以及空白处后的 varied religion 是并列的成分，因此提示词动词 diverse 显然不符合需求，把 diverse 去掉尾字母-e 加上名词后缀-ity 即可。19 【
31、正确答案】 typically【试题解析】 本句句法结构完整，提示词形容词 typical 放在空白处修饰 made up of 不合语法，把提示词 typical 加上后缀-ly 符合句法结构。20 【正确答案】 unmarried【试题解析】 空白处位于名词 children 前面，显然是需要形容词来修饰。联系下一句“Middle-aged and elderly peopledo not live with their married children”这句话可以看出美国家庭的生活习惯是中年人和老年人不和已婚的孩子住在一起，由此可以推断出，美国家庭普遍构成应是家长和未婚的孩子。根据句意，
32、应把提示词动词 marry 改尾字母一 y 变-i 再加上后缀一 ed 而成形容词 married，再加上否定前缀 un-即成 unmarried，放在空白处。21 【正确答案】 generally【试题解析】 本句句法结构完整，成分不缺失，把提示词形容词 general 加上后缀一 ly 放在空白处，用 generally 修饰整句句意更通顺。22 【正确答案】 courage【试题解析】 此句空白处位于定冠词 the 后面，这提示空白处需要名词，把提示词形容词 courageous 去掉后缀一 ous 改为 courage 放在句中，不定式 to try something new 作后置
33、定语修饰 courage，这两者一起作句子的主语。23 【正确答案】 involved【试题解析】 此空白处位于 be 动词后面提示词动词 involve 放在这里显然不符合语法，把提示词 involve 改成 involved 放入空白处，构成 be involved in sth结构。在句中解释为美国人喜欢参加很多活动。24 【正确答案】 challenging【试题解析】 此句空白处放在 many 后面以及名词 activities 前面，提示需填入形容词，因此，将提示词 challenge 去掉尾字母一 e 加上后缀一 ing 改成 challenging即可。25 【正确答案】 ad
34、venturous【试题解析】 此空白处放在代词 their 后面和 spirits 前面提示需填入形容词，因此，将提示词名词 adventure 去掉尾字母-e 加上后缀一 ous 改成 adventurous 即可。四、短文写作26 【正确答案】 My View on Fake CommoditiesFake commodities can be found, now and then, in the market, which has aroused a lot of public attention. It is reported that these commodities rang
35、e from food stuff, clothes to radios, and TV sets and even medicines.Fake commodities are harmful in many ways. To begin with, they bring about great loss in both properties and lives. For instance, if someone buys some fake medicines, it may not cure him of his illness; on the contrary, it may make
36、 his illness worse or even put an end to his life. Besides, fake commodities may impair the profit of the manufactures that produce the real products by making the consumers suspicious of these products, thus causing social problems.There are many ways to get rid of fake commodities. First, laws should be enforced to punish those who produce these fake products. Second, people should be advised how to tell the genuine commodities from the fake ones. Moreover, people should not buy things just because they are cheap and attractively advertised.
