D.areimportant答案：B13.Itoldyourfriendshowtogettothehotel,butperhapsI____havedrivenherthere.A．couldB．mustC．mightD．should.答案：D解析：本題考查情態(tài)動詞的用法。題意為：我告訴了朋友到那家賓館怎么走，但或許我應該開車送他去那里。說話人的意思很明顯，他當時沒有開車送朋友去賓館，他只是在對過去的事情進行自責。故要用shouldhavedone結構，表示“本來該做某事而實際未做”，而musthavedone意為“準是做了某事”，mighthavedone“或許做過某事”，均表示對過去事情的推測。Couldhavedone意為“本來是能夠做某事的”，在此與題意不符，故答案為D.14.Moresurprising,perhaps,thanthepresentdifficultiesoftraditionalmarriageisthefactthatmarriageitselfisaliveandthriving.AsSkolnicknotes,Americansareamarryingpeople:relativetoEuropeans,moreofusmarryandwemarryatayoungerage.Moreover,afteradropintheearly1915s,therateofmarriageintheUnitedStatesisnowincreasing.Eventhedivorcerateneedstobetakeninthispromarriagecontext:some30percentofdivorcedindividualsremarry.Thus,marriageremainsbyfarthepreferredwayoflifeforthevastmajorityofpeopleinoursociety.

DBACA解析：13.

根據第一段第二句，“AsSkolnicknotes,Americansareamarryingpeople:relativetoEuropeans,moreofusmarryandwemarryatayoungerage”,D為正確答案。14.第一段最后一句明確指出，“大約30%的離婚者再婚。我們社會絕對大多數人更喜歡過婚姻生活?！盇、C、D的表述與事實不符。15.美國社會接受多種類型的家庭組合方式。文章第二、三段指出，目前美國家庭的組合方式與傳統的核心家庭相比發(fā)生了很大的變化。這種變化反映在孩子與家庭成員的關系上。分析四個選項，B、D與事實不符；家庭結構的變化不能說明傳統的核心家庭不存在了，因此D的觀點太片面。16.“Part\|timechildren”是指父母離婚后由父母交替撫養(yǎng)的孩子。第二段最后一句指出了離婚家庭的兩種孩子，即“part\|timechildren”和“full\|timechildren”。根據第三段的描述，“full\|timechildren”是指夫妻雙方目前的孩子，或目前與現父母住在一起的前婚的孩子；“part\|timechildren”則是由離婚父母交替撫養(yǎng)的孩子。由此判斷，C是正確的；A、D不對；B所說的是“full\|timechildren”17.第一段最后一句和第三段最后一句為本文的主題句，即大多數美國人喜歡過婚姻生活，而且過著婚姻生活。這是不變的事實（constant）。由此看出，美國人對婚姻是有信心的。本文沒有涉及B和C的觀點15.Ifweareaskedexactlywhatweweredoingayearago,wemighthavetosaythatwecouldnotremember.Butifwehadkeptabookandwritteninitanaccount(陳述)ofwhatwedideachday,weshouldbeabletogiveananswertothequestion.

Unbearablycold________theweather________,manypestswillbekilledbyit.答案：小題1:Apartfrom

小題2:influence/effecton

小題3:consistof

小題4:as,is解析：試題分析：小題1:Apartfrom

用介詞apartfrom…除…之外（可用于任何情況）來替換inadditionto…小題2:influence/effecton

用名詞effect或者influence來換動詞affect的用法。小題3:consistof

本題用consistof（由…組成）來替換bemadeupof。小題4:as,is本句考查的是as放在第二個詞義的位置表示讓步狀語的用法。點評：解題時應尋找相關線索，找到一個詞的原詞、指代詞、同義詞、近義詞、上義詞、下義詞和概括詞等。20.Ourcountry_____greatchangesinthelast30years.答案：A21.It_______thatChinesefootballteambeatJapaneseteamatthelastmomentintheUniversiadeinShenzhen.A．turnedupB．turnedoutC．turneddownD．turnedover答案：B解析：B

本題考查動詞短語辨析。句意：在深圳大學生運動會上，中國足球隊在最后時刻打敗了日本隊。turnup出現，到來；turnout結果是；turndown拒絕；turnover翻轉。22.閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
