【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 本题的关键是需要理解上下文中“and”一词所体现的并列关系，也要清楚“career”一词的正确修饰词。“stable careers”意思为“稳定的工作”。和上文“higher educations”为并列关系。其他选项意思有误或用法不正确。
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] 本题是时态判断题。应该看到前半句话为现在完成时态，后半句话要与其相对应。只有D项的一般现在时态可以与其对应。其他选项的时态都不符合与现在完成时所 对应的要求，所以错误。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 注意本句话的主语是“调研(survey)”，动词应与主语相搭配，也就是“调研结果显示”。“indicate=show(显示、表明)”，只有C项的意思正确，其他选项意思有误，不符合上下文的要求。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 这是一个基本语法概念题。“no=not any”，所以B项没有“any”一词不正确。C和D项都是副词，应该用在动词“have”之前，所以由于位置不对都是错误选择。
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] 本题主要看上下文的信息。由于后面的三个句子都是“some”，从而可以判断前面修饰名词的形容词只能是“various(不同的)”。其他意思都不符合语境。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 本题的关键是要理解全句的意思，然后找到最佳的符合语境意思的选项。“tension”=“紧张”；“attention”=“注意”；“intention”=“愿望、想法”；“interaction”=“交际”。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 应该判断出，前一段和本段内容正相反，所以应该用转折连词“However”，意思为“但是”。“Moreover”引起并列关系，意思为“此外”；C和D项不是连词，由于后面有逗号(标点符号的要求)，它们不能够用在此处。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 本题的语法点是形容词最高级的用法。两种事物相比较应该使用比较级，而本句话是“三个方面(three aspects)”中“最严重的问题”。此外，定冠词“the”也是用于形容词最高级的一个语法规则。
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] “suffer...from...”是一个固定搭配词组，应该熟记。其他选项不符合此处搭配要求。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 本题的考点有两个：一需要判断句子前后时态的对应，由于讲的内容为现在的情况，需要用现在时态，所以A和D项时态不正确；二本句话中的“suggest”一词意思为“表明”，不是“建议”的意思，所以不是虚拟语气表达法，因此B项也错误。
