1.答案为N.考生在文中可以找到"Thereis,ofcourse,nosinglepatternofAmericancharacteranymorethanthereisasingleEnglishorTurkishorChinesecharacter."句子的意思是"当然，正如英国人、土耳其人、中国人都不是只有一种性格模式一样，美国人的性格也不是单一的。"题目的意思是"和英国人、土耳其人、中国人不同的是，美国人的性格不是完全一样的。"本题与原句表述不一致。
2.答案为Y.从题目中确定题眼attachgreatimportancetosuccess和don'tequatesuccesswithmaterialrewards。这两处分别对应原文的placeaveryhighvaluationuponsuccess和successdoesnotnecessarilymeanmaterialrewards。
3.答案为Y.逻辑判断题。原文中提到"Therefore,materialsuccessintheUnitedStatesisnotlookeduponasselfish.""notselfish"就是"notanythingwrong"的意思。
5.答案为Y.这是对原文"Butonecannotaccuratelycallonesocietymature,anotherimmature.Eachhasitsownlogic."所做的paraphrase。题目和原句表述一致。
6.答案为N.细节题。从原文"Americancharacteristicsaretheproductofresponsetoanunusuallycompetitivesituationcombinedwithunusualopportunity."一句，可以知道美国人的性格是由于特殊的竞争环境和特殊的机会而形成的。
7.答案为Y.逻辑判断题。从文中的"nolimitsofclass"和"anyboycanbecomePresident",可以得出题目中的结论。
10.答案为childish.词汇考查题。考生要知道nave的意思，并能推断出naivety是naive的名词形式，进而找出文中nave的同义词childish。

27.答案：D
解析：细节题。从文中Iwassittinginasmoke-filledroomwithanairlineofficialandapoliceofficeratmyside.我们可以得出正确答案是D。容易出现的误解是文中提到theofficials对她进行检查，这里officials指theairlineofficial和thepoliceofficer,但并不是theairlineofficials的意思。
28.答案：A
解析：逻辑判断题。从故事的结尾倒推，可以知道该女士所携带的闹钟发出的声音引起了乘客的怀疑，才致使她被一番盘查。

PartIVReadingComprehension(ReadinginDepth)(25minutes)
47.M.本题考的是固定短语haveeffects。
48.O.备选词表示举例的只有particularly。
49.L.本题考的是动词固定搭配sufferfrom。
50.C.空格前是boring,这里是并列的结构，也应选近义的形容词，所以答案为repetitive。
51.G.应从备选词中选择表示人的名词，所以答案为victims.
52.B.应该从备选词中选择修饰数量的形容词，staggering用来形容数量大得惊人的。
53.J.空格后有短语betteroffwithoutsb./sth.，表示"若无某人/某物，会更快乐或更自在"，往往主语为人，themajorityofpatients指大部分病人，符合用法要求。number是强干扰项，指数量，不符合用法要求。
54.F.空格前面是并列成分，所以该空应选形容词，备选形容词有3个，只剩下financial且它符合题意，故为答案。
55.A.根据句意，应选表示转折的副词，所以答案为Nevertheless。
56.K.根据句意，应选动词。现在可选的备用动词有两个treat和diagnose（诊断）,空格前后是讲药物治疗病症的，所以选择treat。
61.C.词汇测试题。根据对词汇的掌握和上下文可知答案是C。
62.C主旨题。C项讲连锁店的运行机制，概括全文，是正确答案。其它选项都是细节。
65.B词汇测试题。主要考查学生对fraction（小部分）的掌握。
PartVCloze(15minutes)
67.答案：D语法题。注意这是定语从句，而不是强调句型。place后用关系副词where。
68.答案:B根据句意，应选择表示存在的exist。prevail指盛行，occur指发生，stand处于某种状态。
69.答案：D根据句意，应该选择有概括意义的activities,其它选项没有这个含义。
70.答案：B词义辨析题。bound表示因某种情感维系，fastened指系紧，wrapped指包装，strapped指用带子系。
72.答案：D语法题。nomore（...）than不比（...）更。
73.答案：C词汇题。原文该句讲的是，家没有爱，如同人没有灵魂。soul是灵魂的意思，所以是正确答案。
74.答案：C固定搭配题。leada...life过着...的生活。
75.答案：A短语题。原文该句讲的是，一个人可以功成名就，生活富足，但仅仅这些是无法确保幸福的。所以，bynomeans是正确答案。
76.答案：B根据句意，应选有"确保"意思的动词，所以insure是正确答案，assure指使放心，promise指允诺，reassure指向...再保证。
77.答案：A词汇辨析题。根据句意，应选deep。intensive指精深的，profound指深刻的。
78.答案：C原文的这句话是要表述：你的家也许贫穷简陋，但你对它肩负责任。humble指卑微的，符合题意；plain指朴素的，penniless指极其贫穷的，不选该词，是为避免同意复用。
79.答案：B语法题，themore...,themore....的比较级结构，"越......,越......."。
80.答案：D词义辨析题。根据句意，应选择reward（报偿）,consequence指结果，benefit指利益，triumph指胜利。
81.答案：D词义辨析题。句子是说，家是一所学校，人们在这里学习公民的权利和义务。所以，citizenship是正确答案,但该词偏难。rights指权利，obligations指义务，membership指会员资格。
82.答案：A固定搭配题。rendersb.aservice/renderaservicetosb.为某人服务。
83.答案：B原文将爱家和爱国相比，表明一个人有多么爱家，便有多么爱国，所以应选短语inproportion(相称地)。incontrast指对比，inreply指作为答复。
84.答案：D原句是说家是拳拳爱国之心的萌芽地，因此birthplace(出生地，发源地)为正确答案，breedingground指滋生地，nourishment指营养，greenhouse指温室。
85.答案：Asocialwelfare指社会安康，其它三个选项都是不当搭配。搭配问题是英语学习的一个难点，很多搭配不像固定短语那样在教科书中被重点列出来，而是通过日积月累才能掌握，所以要随时带支彩笔、随身带个词汇本，见到好东西划出来、记下来。
PartVITranslation(5minutes)
87.答案：mylifewasworthliving.
解析：本题考查beworthdoingsth.的用法，这个句式形式上是主动的，但意义上是被动的。
88.答案：suchmistakesweredoneawaywith.
解析：Itis(high)timethat...接从句,从句中应用一般过去时。
89.答案：butthathehasbeenaddictedtotheNetforalongtime.
解析：本题考查句式notthat...，butthat...(不是...,而是...。)的用法。
90.答案：arguingwithhimanylonger.
解析：此题考查Itisnogood/use+动名词的用法，这个句式表示"做...是没有用的。"
91.答案:thefactthathehadbecomeamillionaireovernight.
解析：本题考的是一个语言技巧，for后面通常不能接名词性的从句，如果接的话，要加上thefactthat+同位语从句。由于只是一个技巧，所以在翻译时不用将fact（事实）的词义译出来。
