　　语篇解读：该文对比了中国和美国的教育。中国大学录取学生依据分数，而美国大学则既看学生的学业成绩又看社会技能；中国学生学习任务繁重，压力过大，且减压方式单一，很难享受到学习的快乐，而美国学生却不然。

　　1．A.tired B．alone

　　.阅读理解

　　American culture is unique because it is formed and developed under certain conditions. The major factors contributing to the making of this nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment, ethnic diversity (多民族)and plural religion, which is quite different from other nations in the world. What is more, these elements are still influencing the American culture.

　　The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of America.From 1607 to 1892, frontiers were pushed further west. The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise, opportunity and freedom. Actually they looked for a better life. So individualism (个人主义), self­reliance, and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage (遗产) of America.

　　In history, people from different countries in the world rushed to America three times. They brought their own culture to America and later on, different cultures were mixed together. Thus the unique American culture is formed, a common cultural life with commonly shared values.

　　The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the right of individuals to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States. The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism; almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States.

　　Nowadays, we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society. American family is typically parents and their unmarried children. Middle­aged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children. The people in America have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place. Quite a number of people change residences every year. The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime.

　　1．American culture is unique because of the following factors EXCEPT ________.

　　A．hard environment B．ethnic diversity

　　C．plural religion Dadvanced modernization

　　答案：D　细节理解题。第一段第二句说明美国独特文化的主要因素是hard environment, ethnic diversity(多民族)and plural religion，而没有提到advanced modernization，故选D项。

　　2．We can learn from this article that ________.

　　A．the frontiersmen left important society values for American culture

　　B．the early immigrants brought about the unique American culture

　　C．people in the world once rushed to America because of its unique culture

　　D．the American family members don't get along well with each other

　　答案：A　细节理解题。根据第二段尤其是最后一句的叙述可知，美国的早期移民为美国文化留下了包括individualism (个人主义)，self­reliance，and equality of opportunity在内的社会价值观(society values)，故选A项。

　　3．What's the author's attitude toward American culture?

　　A．He is critical of it.

　　B．He admires it very much.

　　C．He just states the facts.

　　D．He looks down upon it.

　　答案：C　作者态度推断题。纵观全文可以看出，作者只是客观地叙述了美国独特的文化形成的原因、背景，以及当今影响美国文化的三大因素等，并没有对此作出评论，故选C项。

　　4．The last paragraph is about ________.

　　A．the family structure in American society

　　B．the influence of the three elements in the current American society

　　C．the new lifestyle of American family

　　D．the reason why American people like to change residences

　　答案：B　段意推断题。该段第一句是主题句，全段围绕该句向我们介绍了三大因素对当今美国社会的影响，故选B项。

　　5．What might be the most suitable title of this article?

　　A．The immigrants in America

　　B．Why American culture is unique?

　　C．The influence of American culture

　　D．Plural religion and American culture

　　答案：B　主旨大意题。纵观全文可以看出文章开篇点题，首句即为文章的主题：American culture is unique because it is formed and developed under certain conditions.然后，全文围绕这一主题展开论述，向我们讲述美国独特文化形成的原因，故选B项。
