Free education is not so wide-spread at the college level{{U}} (51) {{/U}}at the elementary and{{U}} (52) {{/U}}school levels. There is usually a charge for{{U}} (53) {{/U}}. In addition, for most students, going to college means living away from home, an expensive matter.
{{U}} (54) {{/U}}, then, can be done by a student who finds that he must help to finance himself if he is to{{U}} (55) {{/U}}his education beyond high school? There are several{{U}} (56) {{/U}}Scholarships are sometimes available. These are usually{{U}} (57) {{/U}}partly on the basis of high grades. Therefore the day-to day work in high school may be very important for determining one's{{U}} (58) {{/U}}of help from this source. Another{{U}} (59) {{/U}}of help is the college loan fund, which is established for the{{U}} (60) {{/U}}of providing loans to{{U}} (61) {{/U}}students. A third plan is that of working one's way through school. Work may involve{{U}} (62) {{/U}}a part-time job outside the college.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】此题属于语义搭配题。上文的college level和elementary(初等的)提示此处的正确答案是选项B secondary(中等的)。选项A orphanage(孤儿院)和选项D nursery(托儿所)语义上与文章不符。选项C primary(初等的)等同于上文的elementary。

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】此题属于语义搭配题。选项C extend意为“延伸，扩展，连续”，含“向前推进”之意，例如：The road extends to the forest．又如：My duties at the school extend beyond just teaching．下文中的beyond high school说明学习没有停止(即选项A stop)或结束(即选项D finish)，而是继续向前发展，故C符合文意。选项A expand意为“(向各个方向)伸展，扩大”，例如：A balloon expands as it is filled with air．又如：His company expanded into a big one．

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】此题属于语义搭配题。These指代上文的scholarship(奖学金)，按照思维逻辑此处应是“颁发”。若用选项A got，则与后面的on the basis of high grades不太符合。故选c given。选项B forced意为“强迫”。选项D retained意为“保存，保持”，例如：They retain old customs．

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】此题属于语义搭配题。高中成绩可决定学生能否获得奖学金，选项D chances意为“可能性”，即possibilities，可作可数或不可数名词，例如：Does she have any chance of winning?因此D是正确答案。选项A choices(选择)，选项B tendencies(倾向)和选项C results(结果)均不合文意。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】此题属于语义搭配题。选项B source意为“来源”，例如：the source of information。上句中讲的奖学金是经济的一种来源，本句讲的是另一种来源——助学贷款，上句中已出现提示词source，故选B。选项A respect作名词时译为“尊敬，珍视，方面”，例如：We have been told to show respect for our elders．又如： I can't agree with your opinion in this respect．选项D aspect也可译为“方面”的意思，例如：You've only talked about one aspect of the problem．选项C direction译为“方向，指令”，例如：a sense of direction；又如：to follow the directions for the use of the medicine。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】此题属于词语搭配题。四个选项都意为“目的，目标”的意思。for the purpose of是固定搭配，例如： For tax purpose you will be treated as a married couple．选项B aim作名词可用于with the aim of doing sth．的结构中，例如：Experiments have been done with the aim of testing the car．选项C goal常出现在如achieve one's goal的结构中；选项D target意为“标的，对象，目标”，例如：the target of bitter criticism。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】此题属于词语搭配题。选项B worthy可放在名词前，意为“有价值的，了不起的”，例如：a worthy gentleman(受人敬仰的绅士)。故B是正确答案。选项A worth意为“值……”，不可作定语，常与名词、代词或动名词连用；选项C worthwhile意为“值得做的”，可放在名词前。

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】此题属于语义搭配题。兼职可以是帮助教授做些实验室的工作。所以选项C assisting(帮助)是正确答案。选项A dealing和选项B coping均意为“处理”，后面都跟介词with，例如：to deal with the problem；又如：to cope with the documents(处理文档)。选项D handling(处理)是及物动词，但要求宾语是物 (sth．)，例如：to handle the letters。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】此题属于语义搭配题。选项A routine意为“例行程序，日常事务”，例如：daily routine；又如：to follow one's routine。A是正确答案。选项B ritual意为“(日常的仪式般的)惯例”，例如：the bedtime ritual of washing and brushing one's teeth；选项C practice作名词时，意为“习惯，惯例”，例如：the practice of taking a bath in the morning；选项D custom意为“风俗”，例如：So many countries，so many customs(百里不同风)。这三个词都不能适用于office。
