2.Jack came from a poor family,so his parents had to a lot to pay for his education.
A.accuse B.qualify
C.purchase D.sacrifice
答案:D
解析:句意是:杰克的家境贫困,他的父母只好作出很大的牺牲才能支付他的学费。此句要用sacrifice表示“作出牺牲”。accuse“指控”;qualify“使……合格”;purchase“购买”。

解析:考查独立主格结构。句意:中国拥有世界上最多的网民,数量超过2亿2千1百万,他们大多数受过教育并生活在城市。该题考查“逻辑主语+分词”的独立主格结构形式。如果选择A项,则必须是most of whom are educated and living in cities。
4.I don’t think the experiment is failure.At least we have gained experience for future success.
A./;the B.a;the
C.a;/ D./;/
答案:C
解析:第一个空要用不定冠词,failure在此句中是可数名词,意为“一件失败的事”;而experience在此句中是不可数名词表示“经验”,故第二个空不加冠词。
5.I’ll never forget such a beautiful place I spent my childhood there with my grandma.
A.that B.although
C.where D.because
答案:D
解析:考查学生对题干的理解和对状语从句的掌握情况。这是一个陷阱题,稍不注意就会因前面的such而误选A项,因place而误选C项。实际上,空格后的部分是一个完整的句子,前后为因果关系。因此选D项,在这里引导原因状语从句。

三、阅读理解
After moving to the United States,immigrant groups trying to fit in tend to choose high-calorie fatty foods in an attempt to appear more American,a new study finds.That’s one reason why immigrants approach US levels of obesity within 15 years of moving to America.
The researchers also did an experiment that measured whether or not the threat of appearing un-American influenced respondents’ food choices.After being questioned about their ability to speak English,75 percent of Asian-Americans identified a typical American food as their favourite.Only 25 percent of Asian-Americans who had not been asked if they spoke English did the same.
When their American identity was called into question during a follow-up study,Asian-American participants also tended to choose typical American dishes,such as hamburgers and cheese sandwiches.In that experiment,55 Asian-Americans were asked to choose a meal from a local Asian or American restaurant.Some participants were told that only Americans could participate in the study.Those who chose the more typical American fare ended up consuming an extra 182 calories,including 12 grams of fat and 7 grams of saturated fat(饱和脂肪).
“People who feel like they need to prove they belong to a culture will change their habits in an attempt to fit in,”said Sauna Cheryan,an author of the study and assistant professor of psychology at the University of Washington.“If immigrants and their children choose unhealthy American foods over healthier traditional foods across their lives,this process of fitting in could lead to poorer health.” Cheryan added.
Social pressures,the study concluded,are at the heart of the problem.“In American society today,being American is associated with being white.Americans,who don’t fit this image even if they were born here and speak English,feel that pressure to prove that they’re American,” said Cheryan.

A.Asian-Americans care less about their health
B.25 percent of Americans like junk food

解析:推理判断题。从第二段的研究可知,75%的被询问过英语能力的亚裔美国人将一种典型的美国食物看做他们的最爱,而只有25%的没有被询问是否说英语的亚裔美国人也这样做,由此可推断选择食物与亚裔美国人的处境有关。
