语篇解读:美国有四百多万美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加人。本文从经济、工作、教育等方面介绍了印第安人的情况。
1.A.stick B.belong
C.connect D.depend
解析:选B 上文谈到“有四百多万美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加人”,下文谈到“五百多个印第安部落”。由此可看出,这些人“属于”这些部落,因此选belong。
2.A.natives B.people
C.persons D.members
解析:选D 此处指居住在保留地上的部落“成员”。
3.A.set B.held
C.gave D.took
解析:选A 由前面的areas判断,要用set up(建立)。hold up意为“支撑”;give up意为“放弃”;take up意为“占用”。
4.A.them B.whom
C.which D.what
解析:选 C 根据该空前面的逗号可知,此处为非限制性定语从句。由于先行词是reservations,指物,因此选which。
5.A.states B.countries
C.provinces D.neighbours
解析:选A 根据上下文语境可知,此处表示有些保留地的面积比美国一些州的面积还要大。
6.A.hand B.whole
C.contrary D.way
解析:选B on the whole为固定短语,意为“总的来说”。
7.A.spare B.save
C.enjoy D.like
解析:选C 根据下文的“less money”和“unemployment”判断,答案应为enjoy,意为“享有”。
8.A.containing B.including
C.remaining D.continuing
解析:选D 句意:哈佛大学一直在进行一项研究,该研究报告表明……。continuing 意为“持续的”。
9.A.borrow B.lend
C.earn D.pay
解析:选C 根据上文提到的“印第安人没有同其他美国人一样享有经济和教育上的成功”推断,印第安人赚的钱要少。
10.A.much B.more
C.many D.enough
解析:选B 根据下文的“than”可知,此处要用more,构成比较级,表示印第安人的失业率较高。
